Hull, working with clients everywhere

I’m Paul, the designer behind Now Then Design. I help businesses turn what makes them different into a brand people can understand, recognise and connect with. From the first conversation to the final artwork, you work directly with me.

My work brings identity, packaging and digital together. I like finding a clear idea, exploring it properly, then making it work across the things a business actually needs. A thoughtful process, open conversations and care for the details keep the work moving.
