About me
I'm Ant Barwick, a creative and highly detailed-orientated Design Director with a focus on crafting designs that combines aesthetics and creativity with meaning and purpose. With diverse skills across digital, UI/UX, print, illustration and motion.
I have over 14 years experience, working in retail, finance and advertising. I've been freelance for the past four years, before that I was at a large integrated agency working as a brand guardian for one of the agency’s largest clients. Key responsibilities included creating national campaigns, collaborating with creatives, overseeing work for my accounts and mentoring designers.
I'm always looking to push and improve myself, developing my skills to include multiple aspects of design. This shows in not just myself but my work ethic too, I like to help other designers in their development, passing on knowledge and experience, and in the process I end up learning new things too!
