Senior

Designer

for regulated b2b teams

Flexible, senior marketing design for consistent brand support across product launches, technical documentation, and ongoing campaigns.

With 20+ years working inside regulated industries I provide embedded senior marketing design support for regulated B2B businesses, including pharmaceutical and healthcare technology companies. Working as an extension of your internal team. I integrate with your teams to deliver structured, accurate marketing design across product launches, technical documentation and ongoing campaigns.

Approach

What I do

I specialise as a senior marketing graphic designer for regulated businesses, delivering consistent design across print, digital, motion, and physical environments. I work closely with internal teams to ensure everything stays aligned and consistent.

How I do it

I embed as a collaborative extension of your team, supporting design across channels while working efficiently within compliance and approval frameworks. I bring a consistent, reliable and low-overhead approach, that keeps projects moving without friction. For over a decade I have been supporting one company for example as their marketing graphic designer.

Why I do it

Because regulated businesses need more than design. They need clarity, consistency, and a unified brand presence across every touchpoint. I focus on bringing an entire marketing output together, aligning visual language, messaging, and execution so everything feels cohesive, controlled, and on-brand.

I do not just deliver design. I support you in maintaining consistency across your entire marketing output.

Testimonials

An array of feedback from colleagues, clients, and collaborators over 20+ years (some more than once) and in summary as an introduction:

A trusted, highly dependable creative professional who consistently delivers high-quality work under pressure, solves difficult problems with calm expertise, and strengthens every team through collaboration, integrity, and leadership.

Mike, your attention to detail is to be commended. You’re a credit to the department and the organisation."

A Payne
Medical & Patient Communications Director, IQVIA

Mike provides us with excellent design work and is very much a safe pair of hands. We can rely on Mike to quickly interpret a brief and reliably produce exactly what we need. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Mike to any SMEs that need regular, reliable design work to be produced, but don't want the commitment of employing a designer in house."

Brand & Marketing Coordinator, Pharmagraph [Client]

It’s great to see how you have applied that previous knowledge to this situation in a way that reduces time, effort and stress for all of us."

M Johnstone
Lead Editor, IQVIA

A huge thank you for always going above and beyond to meet tight deadlines and last-minute work. Lately we have worked together on a lot of projects with tight turnarounds, and you’ve managed this to an incredibly high standard. You always produce high-quality work and make it easier on the rest of the team by working so quickly, without fuss, and always offering your insights when you see fit. THANK YOU!”

K Jamieson
IQVIA

Thank you so much for helping get the DEPICT-3 diaries updated and out on time despite the technical difficulties we were experiencing with the files! Without your help, from home and outside of normal working hours, we couldn’t have been able to deliver that last PDF. It was very stressful there for a while but your assistance saved us time and duplication of effort that was much appreciated. Thank you!”

S Macaulay
Scientific Editor, Healthware International

Again, from me, I know how challenging it was this year to make QuDoS happen and really appreciate the outstanding effort from the team, especially Lynette and Mike, without whom it simply would have fallen over. You did an awesome job”

Dr P Tunnah
Managing Director

Thank you so very much for leading our Janssen Delivery Team through the artwork 101 training session. The examples and guidance documents that you shared were really helpful, and you truly showcased a great deal of leadership and team spirit in working together to improve our delivery for the customer. Hopefully it will be less painful next around. Thank you so much for your efforts, leadership and teamwork.”

Well done Mike and thank you so much for all you do. It’s a pleasure to work with you, a true collaboration to get the job done.”

S Macaulay
Past colleague

I would like to thank you for volunteering to work late to cover vacation and ensure we continue the same level of customer service we would when the US studio is staffed. Thanks for your flexibility and willingness to put our customers first.”

S Stevens
Studio Manager, Past colleague

A huge thank you to you, Mike. You always work with me to prioritise work and find ways to make the seemingly impossible possible. You are always willing to drop what you’re doing to help with urgent matters and unusual queries, and always have a positive attitude. Mostly though, thank you for always working with such high integrity. Your honesty and willingness to take responsibility for your own actions make you an absolute pleasure to work with, help make us a stronger team, and ensure that we are providing a quality service for our clients.”

K Jamieson
Past colleague

A belated yet massive “Thank You” to you Michael for all your guidance and expert advice over the last few months. The whole of Janssen delivery team are extremely grateful to you for working so extensively and diligently on a lot of our projects during the latter half of the year, especially those that required you to scrutinise and check artwork from other agencies before sending the items to print. It’s not ideal having to review other peoples work, but you’ve never said no or given up on anything. We certainly appreciate all that you’ve done for the account this year”

Symtiles™

Personal side project [separate to client work]

Symtiles™ [side project] is a prototype game designed to make learning the periodic table both fun and educational. Each element is represented as an interactive tile, giving players three chances to guess the correct symbol. This helps players explore chemical symbols through play. Whether the guess is correct or not, users are shown a brief snippet about the element, including its atomic mass, group, and other key details. This project combines education, design, and engagement in a playful, science-focused format.

How many periodic symbols do you know?
