Andy Cooke
Design & direction across brand identity, screen and print
I strive to create and build meaningful brand identities that live & breathe across both digital and physical touchpoints; that are rooted in strategy, theory and thinkingโthat are beautiful, compelling and engaging.
An optimist at heart, I relish the challenge of invention in a sea of homogeneity. The creation of something new, and unexpected. It might be a simple problem to solve, it might be complex. It might be daunting. Weโll figure out the best approach to solving it along the way.
