Welcome to Martin Hickson Design — thank you for stopping by. Whether you’re here by chance or seeking a creative partner for your next project, I’m truly glad you’re here.
Who I Am
I’m Martin Hickson – a seasoned graphic designer, branding specialist, and visual storyteller with over 30 years of experience. Over the years, I’ve worked across a wide range of mediums: brand identity, print, packaging, email design, large-format graphics, web visuals, and video content – all underpinned by a deep belief in combining creativity with purpose.
My mission is simple: to translate ideas into thoughtfully designed visuals that resonate with audiences and drive meaningful results. I approach every project – whether it’s a bold Meta ad campaign, a printed brochure, or a video explainer – with both creative ambition and strategic clarity.
What I Do
On this site, you’ll find a curated selection of my work – across digital campaigns, print projects, packaging, and motion graphics. My style is flexible, but always rooted in strong conceptual thinking, polished execution, and brand consistency.
Here’s how I usually collaborate with clients:
- Concept & Design: Developing creative ideas that fit your brand objectives – from strategy to execution.
- Print & Packaging: Designing packaging, product graphics, labels, and promotional collateral with production in mind.
- Digital Assets: Creating web graphics, email campaigns, and social media visuals that land with impact.
- Video & Motion: Planning, shooting, and editing short videos or animated motion graphics to elevate your online presence.
- Brand Identity: Building and maintaining visual guidelines – typography, colour palettes, and design systems — to ensure consistency and longevity.
Why Work With Me?
- Depth of Experience: Three decades in the industry means I’ve seen, done, and solved a lot – bringing a rich toolkit to every brief.
- Full-Spectrum Design: Whether you need static print design, motion graphics, or web visuals, I can toggle between formats effortlessly.
- Strategic + Creative: I don’t just make things look good – I strive for work that performs, telling your story and supporting your business goals.
- Collaborative Spirit: I love working with marketing teams, product leads, copywriters — bringing ideas to life through truly cross-functional collaboration.
- Attention to Detail: From perfectly aligned typography to pixel-precise layouts and production-ready files, quality counts in everything I do.
