I ADD VALUE TO BUSINESSES THROUGH CONSIDERED, IMPACTFUL DESIGN & PHOTOGRAPHY
WHY WORK WITH ME?
Shepherd & Flock – Brand Tailoring is founded on over 20 years’ experience in both creative and commercial fields. I’ve learned my craft and have built my expertise in branding, graphic design, photography and web design over that time; freelancing, in agency creative and leadership roles; and client-side, working in-house and providing project management services.


SHEPHERD & FLOCK IS A VERSATILE CREATIVE STUDIO; PROVIDING A FULL END-TO-END SERVICE, WITHOUT THE LAYERS AND ADMINISTRATIVE OVERHEADS OF LARGER, AGENCY MODELS.
I bring a wealth of experience in FMCG, Retail, Consumer Electronics, Telecoms, Automotive, Services and eCommerce verticals; commercially with companies including Vodafone, Canon Consumer Imaging, EBAY and Trader Media Group; and delivering both creative and technical projects for brands including:
BMW, CROKE PARK/GAA, FRUITFIELD, GATEAUX, FINDLATER & CO, JACOBS, KELKIN, MERCEDES, OATFIELD, ODLUMS, ROBERT ROBERTS, VALEO HEALTHCARE, VOLKSWAGEN & WILTON CANDY
SOME NOTABLE PROJECTS & MILESTONES...

DIGITAL FOR CROKE PARK
I’ve previously had the privilege to contract in-house with Croke Park and the GAA; to plan, design and project manage the development of a scalable, enterprise grade digital platform and website for one of Europe’s largest stadiums.
I’ve since worked with entrepreneurial startups and established SMEs; bringing that experience to build their web presence with visually led, responsive designs in Wordpress; and as a Shopify Partner; delivering ecommerce websites, integrating POS and stock management in omnichannel solutions for traditional bricks & mortar retailers.
PACKAGING FOR VALEO FOODS
In a partnership between OwensDDB and Valeo Foods; I established, built and headed up an in-house creative studio, the ‘Valeo Lab’ for one of Ireland’s largest FMCG groups.
I worked across a broad portfolio of Ireland’s leading household brands on print communications (brochures, FSDU’s, Retail POS etc) whilst developing an extensive packaging design portfolio and expertise in end-to-end packaging delivery from concept design through to technical delivery; regulatory labelling, substrate, prepress finishing and print-run management.

WHY SHEPHERD & FLOCK?
Growth & Flexibility! Building a brand that reflects a business’s values, culture and personality is important for long-term success.
Shepherd & Flock represents my core values; the desire to guide, facilitate and help steer client growth and success through great design. It also allows me to flex and expand; to call upon trusted partners to provide specialised services as required, ensuring the studio can successfully deliver the most complex and demanding of briefs.

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
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
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
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
