A FLEXIBLE, CREATIVE
KIT OF PARTS
The right creative support,
assembled around the needs of your school.
Trusted by educators worldwide, I help international schools strengthen their brands, improve communications and create admissions, publications and campaign materials that engage prospective families and school communities. Below are case studies of just seven of the schools I have supported.
Swiss Group of International Schools (SGIS)
I created an infinitely flexible but easy-to-use system for stakeholders to create icons and promotional materials for SGIS events. The system uses a series of simple geometric shapes as a ‘construction set’, echoing the bold imagery of classic Swiss graphic design with a colour palette inspired by the flags of Swiss cantons and the beautiful natural Swiss scenery.
ICS Zurich
I created a bespoke new brand that is truly a product of the school.
Drawing inspiration from its long history in the local community, its physical buildings, and the voices and handwriting of its students and staff.

International School of Zug and Luzern
Working closely with Admissions and Communications departments to design and produce print and digital versions of the school’s magazine, annual report and High School course guide as well as posters and fundraising materials - keeping important information such as IB scores, student demographics and matriculation data feeling fresh for each new publication. I also created the tagline:
“WE ARE ALL ISZL” for the school’s mission, vision and inclusion communications.

Pechersk School International - Kyiv (PSI)
Implementation of flexible but easy-to-follow guidelines for using brand colours, photography and typography across social media posts, publications, presentations and other collateral. I created a new set of icons for departments and aspects of school life with a ‘user-editable’ system for creating new versions when needed.
International School of London - Qatar
Alongside the brand book updates, I designed and produced key infographics for IB results, social media posts, strategic documents, school brochures, school concert and drama production promotional materials, and over 800 large-format screen graphics for major graduation events throughout the school calendar.
Dwight School Hanoi
Using Dwight’s established brand book as a starting point, I developed a localised version, drawing from traditional Vietnamese imagery - the Đông Sơn drum and crane motif, a deeply revered symbol representing longevity, purity, nobility, and cosmic harmony.
International School of Brussels (ISB)
I completed over 200 individual projects across all of the school’s touchpoints - working for the most part remotely but with regular on-campus visits during the school year, including a 4-month placement when I lived and worked in Brussels and became a familiar face at the school, working closely with staff and faculty.
BUILDING PARTNERSHIPS
I cannot say enough about how brilliant and talented Dave is. We’ve been working on various projects at PSI Kyiv and are now finishing our brand book guidelines document. Dave’s professionalism, creativity, and care for the brand are simply unmatched. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to elevate their next project!
Nikita Vasyliev • Communications and Advancement Professional - PSI Kyiv
"Working with Dave has been an absolute game-changer for our team. From the start, he brought structure and clarity to our visual identity by establishing clear, brand guidelines that we now rely on every day.
Beyond his extraordinary talent, Dave is an absolute pleasure to work with. I cannot recommend him highly enough to anyone looking for a truly exceptional graphic designer."
