What’s a Rich Text element?

This is a subheading and where it goes in the document flow

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.

“Kyn worked with us to redesign our logo and brand identity. Creative, responsive, reactive - he truly listens. He managed to interpret all the ideas spinning around our heads and present them to us in a comprehensible format! The whole process was an absolute pleasure and we will continue to work with him as our brand develops further.”

“We had an idea for our business and Kyn brought it to life, creating our logo, brand identity and website. The whole process was so smooth and enjoyable. With every element Kyn provided multiple options, suggestions and always listened to our ideas. Being in the fashion industry we needed the design aspect and logo to be on point, the website to be simplistic, engaging and easy for us to maintain. We couldn’t be happier with the result. Kyn’s experience and understanding approach and passion for his work are why we will always continue to collaborate with him on future projects.”

Once Upon a Town (or OUT for short) is a bimonthly magazine I founded and produced with my brother Cai when we ran a design agency together in Epsom. It’s a new type of free local magazine that provides readers with top quality design, editorial and production values more commonly seen in high-end newsstand publications.

I just wanted to say ‘well done’, and sorry, I’m not passing on to a friend, I am keeping for myself!”

Take Note Collaboration Toolkit

Take Note is an innovative initiative set up by two pioneering social entrepreneurs with a mission to help small arts organisations collaborate to produce extraordinary work that would otherwise be impossible.

I started working with Take Note whilst they were still in the funding stage and in need of a brand identity that would appeal to investors, fit into the arts world and express the core theme at the heart of their mission: facilitating collaboration.

“Kyn is a fantastic creative partner and collaborator. He really takes time to fully understand the concepts and ideas for which we need design support and responds to them in a way that adds dynamism, clarity, visual interest and accessibility. It's always exciting to work with Kyn and to see our ideas take on a vibrant visual identity which we could never have come up with ourselves.”

I worked on the creation and design of an internal magazine for UK tech giants, Arm. With a focus on creativity and visualising Arm’s distinctive personality, the magazine had a look and feel more akin to newsstand publications than a piece of internal comms.

About

About me

Over a 20+ year career I’ve designed award-winning brand identity systems, exhibitions, signage, corporate communications, websites and books, for multinational companies through to budding start-up businesses.

It all began at Interbrand Newell & Sorrell, where I learnt from some of the best brand designers in the business. I went on to work at leading boutique design agencies before setting up my own studio Cai and Kyn in 2007 along with my brother, Cai.

The last 14 years have seen me work on a huge variety of different design projects for clients such as Arm, Booths, Bristol Old Vic, Clerkenwell Design Week, Henley Festival, Marks & Spencer, Kodak, and many more.

Now I’m offering my extensive experience and expertise as a freelancer, and am looking to work with people and businesses that believe good design can make a difference, and who want to make a positive impact on the world.
