NOW THEN I'M PAUL

I’m the founder of Now Then Design, a branding studio built on 20 years of experience turning ideas into brands that stand out and stick.

Over the years, I’ve helped everyone from global names to ambitious start-ups. I’ve launched in-store campaigns for Foot Locker, created new silicone ranges for GE, and delivered a full rebrand for Ferens Art Gallery that helped put it on the world stage.

I’ve also worked with a mix of independent brands, from beer and coffee to spices and vitamins, helping them find their look, voice, and place in the market.

Different industries, same goal: build brands that feel right and perform better.
