Freelance Graphic Designer & Illustrator [Identities, Campaigns, Posters - Music & Arts Focus]
Originally born in Swindon, England, Dale eventually fled down the M4 to London. In 2022 he vanished somewhere near the Eurostar terminal at King’s Cross and is reportedly now operating from Amsterdam, NL.
He graduated from the London College of Communication with First Class Honours in Illustration & Visual Media with a focus on experimental practice, then began creating illustration and graphic campaigns and identities for arts, music and culture organisations. He joined 59 Studio (then 59 Productions) out of university and immediately fell in love with video and the world of live productions, immersive and exhibitions.
He works from Amsterdam but travels for on-site work as required, and will otherwise be found swimming, cycling, running, shooting 35mm, listening to history podcasts, behind the decks or jamming with a synthesiser.
Music is a huge part of his life and in 2023 he created his project, Spectral, that brings DIY, analogue driven video design and projection together with underground dance music.
