I’m Steve Kenyon, a graphic designer and artwork professional with over 30 years in design and production. I have a passion for fine details and perfection. Creativity drives me; when I’m not working meticulously on a project I love drawing and painting. I am hard-working and loyal, able to manage projects independently or as a team member. I excel at problem solving and taking concepts through to final product. Born 29 April 1973 in Doncaster and raised in North Nottinghamshire, I studied at Joseph Whittaker School, West Nottinghamshire College of Art & Design, and De Montfort University, Lincoln. After adventures in Cornwall and a move back in 2003, I established myself in design, taking on roles from graphic design to artworking and production management across the UK.
