Graphic Designer About me...
Hi, I’m Paul and I have been working as a Graphic Designer for over 20 years.
Having gained a BTEC in Art & Design at Somerset College of Arts & Technology and an HND in Graphic Design at Salisbury College, I found myself sweeping the floors at a local print shop at the age of 21. Not the glamorous design job I was hoping for but my foot was in the door. Fast forward 2 years and I was the lead designer of said print shop. Already building a good reputation for my work I was approached by another local print firm to be their head of graphic design, a role I enjoyed for 16 fantastic years.
Always wanting to explore new avenues within the design industry, in 2020 I decided it was time to go it alone and focus on website design and digital marketing. pafdesign was born.
So here I am ready to carry on my creative calling. I have gained a very good reputation over the last 20 years and pride myself on ‘smashing’, not meeting my clients expectations. Having dealt with small local businesses to larger national companies I am well equipped to provide you with a fast & professional service with stunning results.
No nonsense. I don’t do mood boards and I won’t bore you with technical jargon – I make things look good, whether that be for print, online or any other media. There is no ‘design agency’ pretense when working with me – I believe in doing a good job for a fair price and honest communication. Having worked in the print industry for many years I know how important it is to communicate with my clients to get the best results possible.
So whether it’s design for print, logo design/branding or an attractive website design or online advertising I can help.
If you’d like to discuss how I can be of service to you or your business then please drop me an email to the address at the bottom of the page or contact me here and I’ll respond quickly.
Paul has designed our Product Guide for over 10 years now and it just gets better every time. He comes up with suggestions and ideas that we would just not of thought of and is always happy to discuss ideas to make it more user friendly. We have had an amazing response and a positive impact on our sales - I would thoroughly recommend his services.

Managing Director, Laybrook Motion FurnitureTone News is now in it's third year, Paul has been a major part of it's success so far - especially as I throw everything at him and he always seems to make room for late additions. It's great that I can just leave it in his hands and a few days later I get yet another amazing looking edition of the paper!

Editor, Tone NewsWe wanted a fun and eye catching logo for our advertising van. After an initial meet with Paul he came up with three draft ideas - once we chose the concept we liked best he refined it perfectly. We are really pleased with all the branded products he has provided us with. AND BEST OF ALL IT'S GREAT VALUE FOR MONEY!
