Rubber Penguin is a UK-based design and illustration studio, founded by Dan Bailey.
I am a vastly experienced designer with a strong vision and values. Over the years I have partnered with various sized creative agencies, in-house teams and global clients, giving me the opportunity to work across a variety of diverse and exciting brands. Ranging from the plucky start-ups to the global giants.
I am a passionate and ideas driven designer with a strong understanding of visual craft, a precise attention to detail and a seamless process. I strive to push boundaries and to create positive, impactful creative solutions which disrupt and start a conversation, always pushing my abilities and solutions, whoever the brand and whatever their scale maybe.
Growing up loving animation has left a lasting impression on my work and the influences can be seen through the energy, vivid colours and personality that I incorporate.
After a successful and enjoyable spell as a Design Lead at an integrated creative agency in London, I returned to freelance in 2017. This has given me even more opportunities to expand the clients and brands that I have had the pleasure to have worked with.
Through my hunger and passion to learn and create I have developed an incredibly versatile and varied skillset.
