Identity systems for brands, products and spaces.
Field is a design practice run by me, Jon, working across disciplines, from digital to physical, spanning brands, buildings and culture.
Clients often come to me with ideas that don't have an obvious solution yet, and that's the part I enjoy most: I don't stop until I've found the way to make it work.
Good structure doesn't date. I think in systems first, understanding how something is built is what makes it possible to know when to break it.
I'd rather build something restrained and considered than purely decorative: it's the structure underneath that makes a mark work everywhere it needs to, from a shopfront to a phone screen.
I like to see branding projects through from start to finish, once the initial work is done, I can carry on with a brand on retainer, which suits startups and growing businesses well as things evolve. I also take on signage and wayfinding projects, including full specification. I'm available for a single phase, or by the day, if that's all that's needed.
For larger-scale work, or anything requiring specialist skills, I bring in trusted collaborators as needed.
