Introducing you to our lead designer – Billy Sawyer

To mark Billy’s promotion to lead designer at Touch Design, we thought we’d let you know a little bit more about the man behind the Apple Mac…

Billy is a talented graphic designer with a diverse background in digital design, brand identity and multimedia projects. After a BA (Hons) in Graphic Design and Multimedia from the University of Worcester, he began his career with an internship at Couponshop (2013-15), an e-commerce start-up, before heading to London to gain valuable agency experience at Chase & Co. Group (2015-21). His portfolio there included collaborations with prominent automotive brands like Toyota, Lexus and Nissan, where he developed sales event materials and digital ads. Billy joined Touch in 2021. Outside of his professional work, Billy is an avid reader which fuels his creativity and enhances his communication skills – both essential attributes in the design field.

Billy says:

“My time at Touch has been great, I’ve been here almost five years now and feel very at home, with all the team helping me settle into a new city.

“I love working with the team, we’re a small, tight-knit group, and I’m very proud of the work we produce. I’ve enjoyed getting the opportunity to work across a variety of clients, and to work on campaigns that are important to me on issues such as environmental sustainability.

“I’ve been able to learn and develop new skills in areas like animation and website design, and to develop effective campaigns for clients in both the public and private sectors.

“My new role as lead designer will mean working a bit closer with clients, and being more involved in the briefing and planning stages of projects, and going forward, will involve the management and development of future new hires.

“It’s a great time to be at Touch, the team shares my passion for clean, minimalistic design, guided by the principle that simplicity often leads to the most effective solutions, so I feel I fit in very well. It’s an exciting time too as the business continues to expand and works with a succession of new clients.”
