Gareth Robertson

I'm Gareth, I am a designer at PHd.

I have been employed here since 2005 after leaving University. I'm primarily based in the studio coming up with concepts and ideas to job briefs and then creating digital artwork that eventually goes to print. I work closely with Neil in the 'engine room' at PHd, I enjoy the creative atmosphere and banter in the studio which our customers also find relaxing when they come to visit.

Outside of work, I can be found charging around a rugby pitch like a crazed lunatic at weekends during the winter months and in the gym during the summer - these things keep me off the streets and out of trouble!
