Kristian Shepherd

I’m a Shepherd, not a sheep – A Mancunian designer who loves a big idea that comes with a smile. I’ve been practicing design for over 16 years of my life, but I feel like I’m just getting started. Design is the thing that gets me up in the morning and stops me from sleeping at night.

I’ve experience working with some of the world’s biggest brands alongside some of the smaller ones too, spending time designing at agencies such as Turner Duckworth, B&B, & JKR. Throughout my time I’ve got my name against several awards and strive to be better than yesterday, every day.

I train in martial arts to help me switch off and live a healthy lifestyle to maintain a mental balance that influences all aspects of my life. I believe the hardest thing you do is the hardest thing you do.

I’m currently taking a bite out of the big apple working at the wonderful Pearlfisher as a seasoned senior designer, working my way through the ranks and getting outside as much as possible. I love people and telling stories, what a great place to do it.

I’m also a co-host of the “What Does Your Mum Think?” podcast where we have conversations with creatives about their hustle and what inspires them to keep hustling, which you can listen to on YouTube & Spotify. Let’s hook up!
