Matthew Balaam

I am a freelance graphic designer for web and print with over 15 years experience. I went freelance as Matthew Balaam 3 years ago after working in large media organisations to find new challenges and explore other areas of design.

In a nutshell I provide effective cross-media design including branding and identity, SEO friendly websites with a powerful user-friendly CMS or eCommerce solution, art direction for your campaign or simply some high-end creative artworking or photo-manipulation for your existing projects.

I always work to a bespoke creative targeted to your requirements, and avoid stock templates. I use the latest web technology and take care refining typography and layout. Mobile browsing is the fastest growing area on the web, and I will produce a responsive design which will be easy to view on mobile devices. Try it with this site: if you're not on your phone, simply drag and shrink your browser window to get a demonstration.

I am also able to provide bespoke music and sound design for your projects, and in my spare time I like to produce music for fun and also get away from the computer, get out my vinyl and mix deep electronic sounds with like-minded people. I've also been told by my friends that I'm the best chef they know, but I'm convinced they tell me that just to get some free food. Perfecting my Tonkotsu Ramen recipe is my current obsession.
