A GRAPHIC DESIGNER WHO STRIVES FOR PIXEL PERFECTION

Hi there! I’m Adam, an award-winning senior designer based in the leafy Cotswold town of Cheltenham. With over 13 years’ experience delivering design solutions for established brands and businesses across a range of industries, I’m proud to share a selection of my work below.

UI/UX CASE STUDY

My work is guided by the belief that strong design can create meaningful, positive impact

YOU GUESSED IT,
CREATIVE DESIGN

BRAND

I’ve designed for both nationally and globally recognised brands and organisations, such as the Department for Education, HP, Howden Insurance and Timberland Pro as well as startup businesses, for which I developed logos and comprehensive brand guideline documents.

DIGITAL

I aim to create content that clicks by bringing ideas to life in ways that work seamlessly online. Whether it’s UI/UX design, social media campaigns or email design, I approach every project with a digital-first mindset. I’m always thinking about how users interact with content, how information flows and how design can guide behaviour.

PRINT

From promotional literature and Point-Of-Sale displays to exhibition collateral, large-format print, packaging and vehicle graphics, I create bold campaign materials and impactful standalone pieces designed to engage audiences and reinforce a brand’s identity.

MOTION

With 5 years of professional motion graphics experience, I breathe life into projects by creating visuals that dance across your screen. I mainly use Adobe After Effects for animation, with some work in Premiere Pro for video editing.

MY JOURNEY, SO FAR

REWIND

Around 20 years ago, I discovered my passion for graphic design during a school D&T project. While others focused on functionality and production, I was drawn to the visual side; shaping layouts, choosing imagery, refining typography and creating a project identity. I found real satisfaction in making something not just functional, but visually compelling. This project sparked my interest in design and confirmed that visual communication was where my creativity and strengths naturally aligned.

PRESENT

Fast forward to today, I now bring over a decade worth of experience as a graphic designer across in-house, agency and freelance roles. From securing my first opportunity as an assistant designer to progressing into a creative lead role, I’ve been fortunate to grow both creatively and professionally along the way. It’s been a rewarding journey so far, driven by a genuine love for the craft.

INTERESTS

When I’m not designing, you’ll often find me exploring new places, tacking on physical challenges, or on the football pitch for a game of 5-a-side.

A LITTLE WIN

Adam Stredwick Graphic Design is a proud winner of the SME Southern Enterprise Award 2024.

Adam is a highly skilled, technical, and diligent graphic designer. He’s a pleasure to work with, taking on new challenges in his stride. We worked together on a major rebrand - changing A-Plan to Howden. The size and scale of this project was one that you only get to work on once in your career. He worked exceptionally well under pressure and was incredibly organised and efficient.
