Jonathan Ford

Over 3 decades, my role has evolved from a graphic designer of packaging, to what I can best describe now as a designer of futures as I look to fulfil a broader role that inspires confidence for change and progress for people and the planet.

Day-to-day as Co-Founder and Group Creative Director, my role sees me nurture high level relationships with like-minded clients and senior creatives, sharing executive creative thinking above and beyond the needs of a specific project to make a broader impact.

Always pushing myself and others to stretch further, I’m proud to say we’ve built some of world’s best-known and loved brands including Cadbury Dairy Milk, Green & Black’s, Waitrose, Target, Wolfgang Puck, Jamie Oliver, Help Remedies, and Jim Beam – while gaining us countless Design Effectiveness Awards and a much coveted Gold Cannes Lion along the way.

I am a passionate advocate for the role great ideas and design play in adding value, igniting progress and making a positive impact on brands, industry and the world. From working with entrepreneurial brand founders to mentoring young talent, both within and outside of the business, I am committed to challenging and inspiring others to push the limits of creative potential.

My sustainable interests see me chair the Haller Foundation, a not-for-profit organization providing a model for ecological community development in Africa, and when totally offline am graduating towards garden design.
