Hello. My name’s Damian Smith. I’m a designer and art director who has helped to sell all sorts from houses and holidays to vans, cars and model planes. I’ve designed the lot from web and email, to ads and direct mail, turning ideas into imagery in chilly studios and under blazing foreign suns. Funny things amuse me, good music moves me, films and telly thrill me, friends and family soothe me. And that’s me.

Give me a call on 07734922426 or email me at djs1138@hotmail.co.uk
