Mike Danford

Mike Danford

Creative Director

Mike leads projects with branding, design and usability – creating anything from a logo, an email template or a full website design. Working closely with our clients, he is responsible for all creative output and believes beauty in simplicity is the key to good design.

He’s a father of two lovely twins, a constant ideas person and holds a keen interest in typography. Rumour has it that he also loves to ride his bike, sometimes.

Phil Shackleton

Phil Shackleton

Digital Director

Phil oversees all technical aspects of a project and has over 11 years of industry experience specialising in user centred design. He has worked with clients including the NHS, the Department for Work and Pensions and The Learning and Skills Council. You really won’t believe how much he knows about every single part of project, from servers to accessibility.

Away from work he is a keen (some say obsessed) road bike rider and spends more on bikes and biking paraphernalia than most people do on cars and houses!

Aaron Thomas

Senior Front-End Designer & Developer

Aaron originally joined us as part of his studies at Leeds University – working two days a week to gain industry experience. However he soon proved what a great addition he would be to our team with his industry knowledge and well-thought out opinions and has been with us ever since. A master of the Google Maps API and HTML5 Geolocation.

He has a Loyalty Card with Costa Coffee and we’ve heard he is literally unbeatable at pub quizzes.

Jason Hobbs

Senior Front-End Designer & Developer

Jason ‘The Code Zombie’ Hobbs joins us after working for a Leeds-based agency for three years, originally graduating from Leeds University in 2009. He’s a bit of a perfectionist, one of the Summit Awesome folk and naturally, he is passionate about responsive web design. He also likes CSS animations ‘a bit too much’.

Away from the office he is a big gaming fan – RPGs and FPSs are his current passion. Mike might have to dust off his PS3 controller and challenge him to a Deathmatch in Call of Duty Modern Warfare II sometime soon then…
