About
Hey, I’m Ed.
I’m a senior creative all-rounder from Kent, with a holistic approach to graphic design and creativity. My focus is predominantly on crafting stories and identities, with a particular interest in positive change.
Despite my big presence (I’m 6’5”) I’m rarely the biggest ego in the room, my colleagues come to me for my calm and knowledgeable nature. Once you meet me you’ll see that I’m a gentle giant who is as collaborative as they come.
As Creative Lead at Simmons x Schmid, I head up all things creative, using my broad skillset and our deep bench of freelance expertise to build brands, craft campaigns and stay ahead of the curve for what’s next in business.
In my spare time, I also write and perform funk and soul music with Concrete Natives - I’m the front man - that’s right, leading creative teams by day and the band by night.
