Dave Roberts

Starting his career in design at The Economist and working for small design companies in central London, Dave has 27 years of experience on which to draw when working with clients ranging from individuals and small businesses to internationally renowned organisations in business, publishing and the arts. Past and present clients include Sadler’s Wells Theatre, the Almeida, major public schools such as Dulwich College and small to mid-sized enterprises in and around London.

His strengths stem from being able to quickly understand each client's individual needs and objectives and work with them to achieve the best possible solution, whatever the constraints of time or cost. Having worked with many internationally renowned businesses and organisations, you can be assured that any commission he undertakes is of the highest standard.

Beyond the discipline of graphic design, Dave can call on a network of associates who specialise in complimentary services including studio, portrait and product photography, public relations, marketing, copy writing, exhibition stand, web design, web hosting and e-commerce websites.

He can commission and manage print and ensure the best value in terms of price whilst never sacrificing the highest standards of finish and service, within budget. If you require something out of the ordinary Dave has the expertise to match, and possibly exceed, your expectations.

Being flexible in his approach to helping you achieve the best results he will be happy to work with your preferred printer or other suppliers if required. The aim is to work with you as part of your team.

As a small studio, fees at First Presence are extremely competitive and the designer/client relationship is refreshingly direct, friendly and relaxed.

Dave is actively seeking clients in theatre, business and education as well as collaborative relationships with printers, advertising agencies and other design professionals.
