Simon Doble BA (Hons)
Creative Designer
I studied Graphic Design at Central Saint Martins, London, where I earned
my BA (Hons) and began my career at Stranger and Stranger, a renowned
London-based agency. My initial work there involved advertising campaigns
for major clients such as Dell Computers and Mikimoto. In the later years
at Stranger, I had the privilege of working closely with Kevin Shaw, honing
my skills in packaging design and wine label creation.
Following my time at Stranger, I joined Sonicon, where I worked with leading clients like EMI, Parlophone and Capitol Records. After two years, I took the lead on the EMI Records International account, where I had the opportunity
to collaborate on iconic designs for legendary artists such as Pink Floyd
(in partnership with Storm Thorgerson), Duran Duran, Eternal, and
Crowded House.
My passion for creativity then led me to freelance, where I partnered with
various design and advertising firms on a diverse range of projects.
These included designing the Ego Boost lingerie line for Marks and Spencer
(through Saatchi) and creating brochures for The Elton John AIDS Foundation.
In 2001, I founded Nude Creative Ltd. My first client was Heal’s & Son Ltd,
and my success with them paved the way for innovative work with prestigious
clients such as The Victoria & Albert Museum, Liberty, and Sen Healthcare.
Over time, I expanded my clientele to include the legal and financial sectors,
with campaigns such as the launch of Gordon Ramsay’s kitchen range
at Heal’s and numerous projects for William Hill.
Throughout my career, I have always brought a consumer’s point of view to
my creative work, ensuring that every piece is outstanding, relevant,
and ultimately, sells.
