the benefits of working with me

speed & efficiency

Time is money! And with over a decade of experience working within agencies, in-house and directly with clients on a freelance basis, I work quickly because I understand the realities of deadline driven work. Clear thinking, refined processes and meticulous attention to detail allow me to move from brief to delivery with efficiency and confidence, staying one step ahead at all times.

ease of communication

You’ll work directly with me, Harry! Whether we communicate via video call, over Email, Slack or even Whatsapp, I'm happy to connect with you in whichever way works best for you and your individual needs. You can expect fast responses, honest guidance, thoughtful feedback and a collaborative process that feels straightforward and easy from our first conversation to final delivery.

an extension of your team

Think of me as a temporary member of your team! I integrate quickly, understand your objectives and processes, maintaining momentum without creating friction. No need for internal software training, IT set-ups or showing me where the office kitchen is, I'm all set and ready get stuck in immediately. The way I work is very collaborative and I'll be there supporting your team with the same care and commitment as if I were a full time member of staff.

senior-level expertise

You're getting bang for your buck with me! With over a decade of creative industry experience delivering high-quality work across brand, digital, print and artwork, I understand the commercial realities behind balancing aesthetics with purpose, useability and performance. Working with me means you will gain considered creative direction, confident decision-making and a very high level of refined design work that lands, without the commitment or costly overhead of working with an agency or employing full time member of staff.

flexibility

I will literally bend over backwards for you! Well maybe not literally... but I will be as flexible as I can. Need something done right now? I can push some things around. Project on hold until next month? Absolutely fine. Being flexible means I am not rigid in my workflow, I can pick up projects with uncertain timeframes and work around important deadlines to ensure an easy, seamless experience from initial chat to final delivery. I can work via a retainer or via my daily or hourly rate on a project-by-project basis which means that no job is too big or too small and you'll never be over-charged for my time. When working with me you get precisely what you pay for, no more, no less.

testimonials

“Harry took Housing Lab from initial brand concept through to a complete, market-ready brand and website with real clarity and commercial focus. From the outset, he applied a structured and disciplined approach, helping shape not just how HousingLab looks, but how it positions itself in the market.

He quickly understood our vision, values and target audience, and translated these into a brand that feels credible, distinctive, and aligned with our ambitions. The brand guidelines and website are polished, coherent, and practical to use – not just visually strong but commercially effective. Since launch, we’ve received consistently excellent feedback, strong engagement, and a number of new business enquiries directly attributable to the brand and website.

Harry is a rare combination of creative and commercially minded. He brings structure, pace, and strategic thinking to his work, and I would highly recommend him to founders and organisations looking to build a brand that genuinely supports business growth.”
