Creative Thinking.

Practical Application.

Freelance Flexibility.

I work with individuals, companies and creative agencies to help launch and develop businesses who wish to create real change and growth. I love working with clients that are driven by real purpose.

Process

I favour regular check-ins.

For honest collaboration, I prioritise listening carefully and always making intelligent creative recommendations based on the individual circumstances of each client I work with.

My approach is grounded in the belief that knowledge and curiosity are the building blocks of purposeful change. I try gain a deep understanding of a clients’ ambitions, concerns and challenges, which ultimately leads us to a future-proof foundation.

01 - Discover

At the start of any project, I try to look at the world in a fresh way, notice new things and gather insights into your business.

02 - Define

Here, I try to make sense all possibilities and develop a clear creative brief that frames the fundamental design challenge.

03 - Develop

A period of development where solutions or concepts are created, tested and iterated.

04 - Deliver

The delivery stage, where the resulting project (a product, service or environment, for example) is finalised, produced and launched

Services

I work in a number of different capacities from designer to brand consultant. No two projects are ever the same and so require different skill sets. I encourage collaboration at every stage and will bring in specialist consultants to advise and assist in providing you with a service tailored to your needs.

This is about more than just making money, it’s about defining who you are and what sets you apart from your competitors. I will help develop strategies for achieving and sustaining success

Whether it’s a new brand launch or a refresh, I’ll lead you through the process of defining what makes you unique and then express this through a distinct and engaging visual identity.

I collaborate with some amazing copywriters and marketers to help you to create a clear and effective verbal identity so that the right messages are reaching all the right audiences.

Digital platforms are where your brand comes to life. I am an experienced digital designer who can seamlessly translate your brand across all of your digital touch points.

Your product is at the centre of your brand. I’ll work with trusted print partners to design and produce beautiful, unique print and packaging solutions that will help you make an impact.

Bring your brand to life with filmmaking and video production through use of animation and visual effects. I can create short films, videos, animated text, and web-based animations and apps.

Bob's work for Iterum has been nothing short of exceptional. Bob started his work for us with our logo design and branding which we believe significantly contributed to our initial investment and early success.

I have used Bob Patten’s design services for many years. Bob is an excellent designer and a great person to work with, he is methodical and creative. Bob’s designs have been the cornerstones of several successful businesses and books of mine. Thank you Bob.

Bob has done a really good job of understanding our business and our identity. He helped out with some great advice and challenged us to create something that will really help us communicate going forward.

If you're looking for a talented professional who delivers excellent results, is highly communicative and iterative in their approach and who goes above and beyond, then Bob is someone you can trust to get the job done.
