Hi, I’m Gary Cordery. I started my career straight from sixth form with Touche Ross (which later became Deloitte). I learned graphic design in-house, starting with paste-up on lightboxes and moving into digital desktop publishing on Apple computers using QuarkXPress and the Adobe Creative Suite. Over the years I progressed from a Junior Reprographics Assistant to Head of Desktop Publishing, gaining deep experience in print and pre-press work. After a career break, I set up Lanta Creative and now run it as a one-man design business serving clients in retail, hospitality and wellbeing.
