35 years of experience...
(and counting...)
I’ve been working as a professional graphic designer since the successful completion of a degree in Information Graphics.
Hello. I'm Mike Higgs. Throughout my career, I’ve navigated significant changes in the design industry, embracing new technologies to streamline and enhance the graphic design workflow. This approach has enabled me to deliver more efficient, high quality solutions that drive value for clients and agencies alike, keeping the creative processes agile and aligned with evolving market demands.

I bring flexibility and enthusiasm to every project, whether developing a full design concept from initial presentation to print-ready final artwork, or seamlessly refining a fellow designer’s vision. My experience also extends to creating impactful digital assets, website elements, or full-blown Webflow projects ensuring brand consistency and elevating marketing initiatives across all channels.
I work in a dedicated studio space, constructed in 2010 utilising Sketchup to design each component, before making many (many!) trips to the DIY store to build it from the ground up.
It was a three month labour of love and has proved to be an very effective workspace ever since.
Lucky me!
Gold Institute of Sales Promotion Award for Renault UK.
Gold Creative and Innovations Award for National Blood donor recruitment campaign.
Silver Direct Marketing Award for BSkyB direct mail campaign.
D&AD Silver for British Telecoms’ ‘It’ magazine.
The final output looked fantastic and crucially, was easy to implement across multiple locations. That operational practicality was key to the success of both projects and Mike nailed it.
