It wasn't as I planned stuff to be honest.

In fact I still have no idea how I got to this point - it all seems a bit of a blur! Yet three and a half years after I set up as a sole trader under the self titled 'Simon Bell Design' I find myself setting up a new business.

Back when I started out on my own we were heavily set in the worst recession in decades and I had just one client. Between that moment and now things have gone okay. I've worked with and created award winning brands. My design work has improved but more importantly I have moved in to different areas whilst still retaining design at the core of what I like to do.

These days I'm very passionate about making meaningful emotional connects, through my work, with the consumer. Eventually I've moved from 'graphic designer' interpenetrating a design brief to providing complete brand solutions either in terms of visual brand ID or product marketing campaigns and advertising. It's been an incredible journey that's had some massive ups but occasionally equally massive low points.

I think that being a creative person is like that; experiencing big ups and downs in business have defiantly helped me to become more empathetic to clients and their requirements in business. It also keeps my feet firmly on the ground.

On the 18th June 2013, my new company, Sensation Creative Limited begins trading. This time around I already have a wide client base and a proven track record of success in the not to distant past and yet for everything I have learned the nerves are just the same!
