About Graeme Thomas

My name is Graeme Thomas, and I am a senior graphic designer with 17 years’ experience based in Northamptonshire, UK.

In that time I’ve been fortunate enough to work with a number of household names, cutting-edge agencies, FMCG and big brands, enabling me to work in many areas of design across digital and print mediums.

I excel in owning a project from start to finish, taking a project from its early stages and coming up with creative direction, to managing the whole process and executing everything right up to the finished product.

I am available to hire on a freelance basis. Please see my services pages for more details and examples of my work; a full portfolio is available upon request.

My background

Following five years in the production department at a B2B publishing house designing eight magazine titles, I decided to go freelance in 2011. I now work with various clients of all shapes and sizes, on anything from designing websites and web-based software, to PowerPoint and Keynote presentations and templates, to digital assets for OOH campaigns, to children’s books and college course guides.

Having worked in production departments, numerous digital agencies, printing companies and in-house teams, I have a wide variety of skills. This adds a great amount of value to my clients as I understand the whole design process, from initial planning right through to the final output.

The team at Jonny F Designs are great to work with. Prompt responses, excellent knowledge and expertise; all delivered at a competitive rate. They not only have a deep technical understanding of Microsoft applications (e.g. Word, PowerPoint} but also have the creativity required to turn a brief into high quality output. Outside of document presentation they have ideas for bespoke solutions to help businesses manage and visualise data in a way that is secure, time saving and user friendly. I will continue to work with them and would absolutely recommend them.

We engaged with Graeme to create several Microsoft Word templates with very specific layouts, text boxes, tick boxes, radio buttons, merge field, If statements etc. Graeme delivered these on time and within his quote. Excellent service throughout, so much so that we now have Graeme helping with additional templating and styles. We are very pleased to have started our partnership.

We had a terrific experience working with Graeme Thomas on the enhanced wide-screen slide design for our recent virtual event. He helped us elevate the content to broadcast-standard in a professional studio environment and the client definitely noticed the difference. From day 1, Graeme was always responsive and a true collaborator contributing creatively & sharing suggestions with our team to ensure we could deliver the very best participant experience. I wouldn’t hesitate recommending him and his team, and hope our paths cross again!

We’ve worked with Graeme for a while now and been so grateful to have a really sound resource to translate our creative design ideas into templates, usually with clever ideas to resolve questions we’ve got.

We’ve been working with Johnny F Designs for over 2 years now and have been very impressed. Graeme works with us on our digital design and has made many improvements to both the way we work and our website. He’s also implemented a custom form builder site for us which has given us a far better product than the one we used previously. Would not hesitate to recommend.
