hiro-7 - Automatic Spot Colour Analyser & Life Saver

Welcome to the hiro-7, it’s role is to save lives by extracting a small non-destructive sample before carrying out automated spot colour testing on the sample with the use of reagents. The hiro-7 will then track the user’s bodily reaction to the sample once consumed using a body sensor.

Under Armour - Magnetic Dumbbells

These dumbbells use cutting edge electromagnet technology to allow for the greatest level of instantaneous customisation. It is projected that the dumbbells can be used within 4 seconds, beating any existing manual dumbbell mechanism. The whole product is both 0.5m in length and width, making it the only product on the market that can hold 60kg of weightlifting equipment in an efficient space. Suggesting that this product is ideal for home gym enthusiasts who are tight on space with this product coming in at 8 times smaller than the existing 60kg dumbbell weight sets & racks.

Courage Unfolding Website & Branding

Bespokely Creative worked with this coaching company based on boosting self-esteem. They needed a brand refresh and a new website to go alongside that to reflect her fantastic and edgy personality all in order to gain more traction as a business.

Just Group - Company Illustrations

By expressing the fun business culture in these graphics, it promoted the company in a new light. 50+ illustrations were drawn and designed on adobe illustrator and the client was delighted at how they turned out.

Elliot Smith

This project included extensive research, sketching, product design, CAD rendering and UX.

This was an opportunity to innovate my idea and design both digitally and physically to influence people's lives in a positive way, potentially saving lives in the process. I strive to push myself beyond my comfort zone to achieve my best and by exploring a potentially controversial project I was able to achieve this. This project highlights my graphic and product design skills, constantly looking outside of the box to achieve the best results possible from an aesthetic and function perspective.

Work Experience

I founded Bespokely Creative in 2020, (bespokelycreative.co.uk) a graphic, product and web design studio, tailored towards bespoke client needs. This was following increasing demand for my design expertise in a freelance role, to several companies. As both founder and designer, I made sure that the company has surpassed the targets and continues to grow. All the design work has succeeded the client expectations, leading to continuous work referrals and recommendations. Our main area of work is in websites and branding as my experience in bespoke web design and development with WordPress and Concrete 5 systems is very applicable. At Bespokely Creative, we are enthusiastic to bring new ideas and a hard-working attitude to our clients.

Included below are the examples of my strengths in graphic design, website design/building, branding and illustration.

My role at Knibbs Design Limited is as a graphic designer and project manager. This includes the designing, developing and building of websites, using different CMS software. Firstly, the websites are designed in the adobe creative suite, before being html coded within php and css files, and finally are populated using the CMS software of choice. My graphic design role also includes; illustrations, SEO, print and packaging design.

Whilst fulfilling the role as a designer, I also manage clients, external developers and consultants in a project management role. Ensuring that the design process is as seamless and efficient as possible and meeting the client's needs and expectations.

I have always strived to push myself beyond my comfort zone to achieve my best. Embodied by leading a team on a charity expedition to the arctic, which raised £83,000 for charity, with 110 dogs, covering 240kms in the Dog Sledding Arctic Expedition. This is one experience I will never forget. The expedition videos can be seen at this link: www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnhR4MS5cvA. It was a team of 17 all in aid of the fantastic work The National Autistic Society do. The £83,000 raised will help support the charity and fund the specialist autism services they provide, both in schools and local communities.
