DKB Creative was launched in 2013 by its two Directors, Darren and Kirsty Bennett, who both share a passion for art and design.
We believe that being a small company offers many benefits to our clients; we can offer a bespoke, personal service that is a perfect blend of professionalism and friendship. The more comfortable our clients feel working with us, the more productive and successful the collaboration will be.
We want our clients to think of us as part of their team, so we make sure we are always approachable, contactable and ready to respond quickly and effectively. We always have a clear eye on costs (after all, a budget is a budget) and work closely with our clients to ensure every job comes in within budget and on time.
With backgrounds in typesetting, art direction, illustration, corporate branding, print design, publishing and map design – there is very little we cannot offer our clients. We also have an extensive knowledge and understanding of print processes, enabling us to help clients choose cost-effective print formats.
As well as working directly with end customers, we are also happy to work behind the scenes as part of an existing design or development team, to help ease workloads or to collaborate on specific projects.
My career, following a degree in graphic design and technical illustration, has been mainly within design agencies and publishing houses. Over the past 30 years, I have worked as a designer, illustrator, art editor, art director and freelance, before establishing DKB Creative in 2013 and becoming creative director.
Graduating in graphic design, I began my career in corporate branding. Over the years, I have had various roles: desktop publisher, senior graphic designer, creative design manager, marketing manager, freelance designer, and now managing director at DKB Creative.
Over the years, we have been blessed with working with some very talented people – designers, artworkers, editors, photographers, web designers and copywriters – all of whom we can call upon, on a work-related or overflow basis, as and when required.
