Dominic Palmer
I am a graphic designer working in leicester, in the UK. Since turning freelance in late 2009 I have taken on projects that have ranged from leaflet and brochure design, branding and website construction, through to producing graphics for an iPhone application.
I have worked, individually and collectively, for a wide array of clients including Sony, Cathedral School, Hush Puppies, From Dusk 2 Dawn Magazine, The Work Clothing Group and De Montfort University. I enjoy long-standing and successful relationships with my clients.
I have a completely transparent and a collaborative approach to working with my clients and would welcome the opportunity to work with you to communicate your message. Please get in touch for a free design consultation. I’d love to hear from you!
Thanks for taking an interest
