Michael H.

Graphic Design & Illustration

I’m a graphic designer based in Manchester with both freelance and in-house experience, and an excitement for design that is reflected in both my artwork and playful attitude. I recently completed a six-month in-house position working on social media posts, brochures, trade show designs and company presentations, and injected much-needed life into the company’s prior offerings. Before this I worked as an independent freelancer for fifteen years, with a strong emphasis on design for print, illustration and textiles. During these years, I’ve worked with incredible licensed brands such as Disney, Aardman and PGA Tour, and more recently rediscovered my love for After Effects, creating short animations and motion graphics for social media posts and adverts. Since childhood I’ve always delighted in creative subjects—through primary school up to university level—and in my free time I enjoy digital painting, playing the violin and reading science fiction and fantasy books—all of which continue to fire the spark of my imagination.
