Who We Are

What we lack in heads, we make up for in experience. 

Ralph

Ralph

Graphic Designer

Ralph has over 30 years' experience in design and artwork.

 

Starting way back in the late 1980s with a degree in Multidisciplinary Design, drawing board and a scalpel he worked in a variety of design, advertising and artwork studios in North Staffordshire and Cambridgeshire before 'leaving work' and going freelance in 2008.

 

He set up Ralph Design Ltd in 2010.

Sam

Sam

Artworker

Sam graduated with a BTEC in Technical Illustration 'some years ago', and first worked with Ralph in a Cambridge design agency in the 1990s. 

She joined Ralph as artworker in 2011.

 

(Artworker? If you consider the graphic designer to be architect, then the artworker is builder.)

Ralph don't design for people. Ralph design with people.

You may have a good idea of what you need, or you may have no idea whatsoever.

In either case, Ralph can offer advice and guidance based on years of experience in designing for, among others, the medical, manufacturing, publishing, educational, scientific and conservation sectors. If there's something to say, Ralph will say it. It's part of the job.

Ralph are proud to be approachable. Adaptable. Dependable.
