About Greg Bunbury.

Firstly, I’d like to thank you for visiting my site. Your time and attention is greatly appreciated.

My name is Greg, and I’m a Graphic Designer, Creative Consultant, D&I Consultant, public speaker, and host of the Design For The People podcast.

I design and consult on communications that enable organisations, communities and causes to connect with their audience. I create brand identities, strategies, content and marketing communications across print & digital.

As a former studio Head of Creative, I produced award-winning work for a marketing agency before going freelance. Since then I have successfully delivered thousands of branding, print and digital design projects for clients across the globe (many in music and film).

I approach Communication Design strategically, so I’m always focused on creating work that meets my client’s objectives, from raising awareness to increasing donations. From leading an initiative, to building a movement.

I’ve produced impactful work for brands and organisations including Sony Music, Ministry of Sound, Rezidor Hotels, Sanyo, Universal Music, Hackney Borough, Samsung, Heart Radio, Portsmouth City Council, Warner Music, Old El Paso, Polydor Records, Capital FM, and many more.

I’m forever curious and passionate about what drives culture – the big ideas that bring us together. I apply that curiosity to my work, and how I can help people strategically communicate their values to the world.

As a Black British designer, and a proud member of the design community, I use my voice to educate, engage, and share my extensive experience.

I also curate and design for the Black Outdoor Art project, an initiative in partnership with outdoor agency Brotherhood Media, that utilises donated billboard space as a platform for other Black British designers.

I look forward to learning how I can help you, better connect with your audience.

Regards,

– Greg
