2016-Prior
Freelance Graphic Designer & Illustrator [Identities, Campaigns, Posters - Music & Arts Focus]
Originally born in Swindon, England, Dale set his design foundations in London befre moving to Amsterdam, NL.
Graduating from the London College of Communication with First Class Honours in Illustration & Visual Media with a focus on experimental practice, he began his journey 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 travels internationally for on-site work as required, and will otherwise be found swimming, cycling, running, shooting 35mm, listening to history podcasts, behind the decks or working 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.
