RECENT WORK
EXPERTISE
My expertise has been built over 20 years delivering projects across a range of creative and technical disciplines. I established Shepherd & Flock to offer the benefits of that experience to startups and growing businesses, to help them create positive noise and be heard!
That same experience also makes me a safe pair of hands for established brands; looking to reposition themselves in the marketplace, refresh their brand assets or develop their online presence.

THE JOY OF CREATING
Whether developing or repositioning brands; or creating engaging visual assets to build brand appeal in print, on-shelf or online, I take great joy in working with passionate individuals and enterprises, providing a full end-to-end creative service.
BRAND DEVELOPMENT
Shaping perceptions for your business through compelling brand design; helping your future customers to recognise and differentiate your business or product in the marketplace – I will work with you to define and then position your brand, before bringing it to life visually across all touch points.
GRAPHIC DESIGN
Driving awareness and promoting your brand message through tactile communication design. From logo, bespoke stationery and brochure design; promotional suites and annual reports, to vehicle livery, billboard advertising and retail POS – I’ll ensure you can effectively communicate your brand message to your client or customer.
PACKAGING DESIGN
Your packaging is a key extension of your brand and a critical touchpoint for customers. From concept design through to finished print – I will guide you through each step of the process to deliver a tactile and engaging piece of design that reflects your brand.
WEB DESIGN
From beautiful, visually led static sites to more complex ecommerce websites; I have the experience to create an elegant and functional online presence for your business or product.

PRODUCT PHOTOGRPAHY
Capture your product portfolio and enhance brand appeal. An asset bank of high-quality product imagery is critical in effectively engaging your customers across all touchpoints, whether in print or digital formats. I will ensure your product is shown in the best possible light!
BRAND PHOTOGRAPHY
From corporate headshots and environmental portraits; to photo stories that capture the people behind the business; communicating the human element of your brand is more important than ever. These visual assets are fundamental components of your brand.
Some Kind Words
We worked with David of Shepherd & Flock on the design and launch of our new website late last year. David was brilliant to work with and created a fabulous website for us that has worked brilliantly during this third lockdown. David has also been on hand to offer advice and help post-launch too, which was much appreciated. Our online sales this season have far exceeded any other period and we cannot thank him enough for his help.Louise Brennan - Managing Director, Fabiani Boutique
David's varied skill set ranges from simple design critique to complete design overhaul. His keen eye for packaging design and on-pack photography makes him a great asset for creative direction on any job and an excellent choice for styled product/pack photography. David also adds great value to packaging print jobs with his strong technical knowledge of substrates, preparing files for various print methods and liaising with repro houses to ensure that jobs run smoothly.Elaine Doran - Head of Brand Assets & Packaging Development, Valeo Foods
We engaged Shephard & Flock to refresh our online presence and the first project was our company website. We are extremely pleased with the end product. David listened to our requirements and we feel our website has captured the essence of our business. The project was delivered within tight timelines, in budget and involved multiple stake holders. He delivered a site which is attractive, with unique design elements, simple to update and is performing very well on search. David went above and beyond to work with us to design and build something we are really proud of. We are also expecting an increase in business because of it, all thanks to David..Martin Duffy - Co-Managing Director, Lites Group
As a commercial gym it was important our brand appealed to a wide audience. After developing our brand identity and taglines, David was able to carry the tone of voice through to the website and into the physical gym, which can be seen and felt in the welcoming spaces. Starting out as a new business owner, David’s professionalism and ‘can do’ attitude, as well as attention to detail in everything he does really resonated with me, and I cannot recommend him highly enough to anyone looking to take their brand to the next level.Luke Woods - Managing Director, Integrity Fitness
