“I’ve known Mike for longer than I care to remember and every time we get him in, we know the end product is going to be just what we wanted and always of the highest possible standard. One of the safest, most reliable pairs of hands in the business,

in my humble opinion.”

“Mike has always been great to work with. He has a fresh and natural style, always delivers work on time with the minimum of fuss, and is excellent at understanding exactly what our authors actually want!”

Keith Nichol, Planning Director, Flourish

Janet Wrench, Production Director, The Book Guild

“Mike's marker work is a joy to behold, but along with his exceptional visualising skills he also contributes top quality creative and marketing thinking. He also happens to be a really nice bloke and is always always a pleasure to work with.”

Nick Holmes, Director, Different Kettle

“I’ve worked with Mike for many years, and his key strength for me is the ability to think conceptually as well as translate ideas into strong client-friendly visuals. His creation of intelligent concept boards that integrate all the elements needed to prove an idea is a rare skill.”

Kevin Yull, Creative Director, Bray Leino Bristol

“No matter how small or large the campaign, Mike delivers the goods - knowing what will get the target audience to sit up and take notice, and producing second-to-none visuals. Nothing better than a happy client, and we always have one when we ask Mike to help!”

Andrew Kenyon, Head of Agency, The Creative Lab exclusive to Zurich Insurance

“Mike is Different Kettle’s go-to visualiser. Our ideas spring into life through his marker pens, and his colourful, vibrant illustrations never fail to charm our clients.”

Dave Sturdy, Creative Director, Different Kettle

“I value Mike’s huge level of experience in design for direct marketing. It’s rare that you can get someone who is so clued up about how small design decisions can improve response rates. Mike knows this stuff, he’s great to work with, and engages thoroughly with the brief.”

John Ranford, Innovation Officer, Bible Society
