Colin Phelps
The Story

Creative depth built over three decades

I'm Colin Phelps — a London-based multimedia designer with over 30 years of professional experience. I started in print and graphic design, then expanded naturally into digital, video production and web as the industry evolved around me. The result is a genuinely cross-disciplinary skillset that's rare to find in one person.

My career has taken me from designing album artwork and music catalogues for Demon Music Group — one of the UK's leading independent labels — to creating campaigns for global brands like Amazon, Dell, Citroën and Suzuki. That range is something I'm proud of. I can shift register between a corporate brand identity and a record sleeve, and I bring the same rigour to both.

Music has been a constant thread. I'm a music lover first, designer second — which is what makes music industry work feel natural rather than just professional. I currently host a weekly radio show on Rock Radio UK, which keeps me connected to the scene I care most about.

I work freelance, which means clients get direct access to the person doing the work — not a junior passed the brief. If a project needs me, I'm on it.
