Ed Hatfield — WTM Mentor

Please note that Ed is currently travelling and will be available again in mid March

Hey! I'm Ed, a freelance Brand Designer and previously Senior Designer and Design Lead at London-based design studio OMSE, where I became captivated by brands with a story to tell and a good cause at their heart. Now freelancing directly with brands and agencies such as Koto Studio, with a focus on crafting brands that deliver purpose, challenge convention and ignite conversation.

I'm now woking remotely, but have been based in London since I graduated from Winchester School of Art in 2016. I learnt my craft as a graphic designer at a few agencies, growing as a designer and storyteller one step at a time.

"The most important thing I learnt was to let the ideas in your work do the talking. For me, great work balances a clear idea with a clever execution." 

⭐ This is how I can Mentor you:

"Hey Makers! Here's an opportunity for an hour-long one-on-one with me. Ideal for portfolio reviews, chatting through your creative process, career development or even to just fire questions!"

Portfolio review: If you're just graduating and looking for internships or thinking about how to progress into a more senior role. We'll discuss storytelling, project presentation and how to make a portfolio stand out. No matter what stage you're at or what you think of your work, I'm here to help and guide you to where you want to be.

Creative Process: It's important to tell your client's story through the work you're creating. Thinking about how you take your client on that journey is key to selling in your ideas and creating a coherent brand story. In this call, we'll go through my creative process, from brief to execution. From 0–100. But don't forget, each client and each brief is uniquely different.
