The ethos that drives you
What should anyone reading this do?
They should get in touch with you so that they can discover how you can help them elevate their brand and business.
Creative direction for brands that need clarity, consistency and character.
I help organisations build distinctive brands through creative direction, brand development and effective design.
One creative partner from strategy to delivery.
I've spent more than twenty years helping organisations communicate more effectively through thoughtful creative direction and design.
I work with businesses, agencies and cultural organisations that value strategic thinking as much as visual execution.
I combine creative direction, art direction and graphic design into a single collaborative process, that delivers stronger ideas, fewer compromises and better results.
Good ideas can lose their power when they're handed from one person to another. Many creative projects pass through multiple hands – the strategist develops the idea, the art director interprets it, the designer executes it.
The original thinking often becomes diluted along the way.
I work differently.
From the first conversation to the finished piece, I execute every stage of the creative process. Strategy, creative direction, art direction and design remain connected, producing work that's more coherent, more effective and unmistakably yours.

• Faster decisions
• No information lost between stages
• Consistent quality
• Direct communication
• Greater accountability
Branding
First impressions really do matter, and when it comes to potential customers, the first impression is, more often than not, your brand. A brochure, a business card…
Decisions are quickly made at this point, opinions are formed and trust is gained. Or lost.
A strong, professional and appropriate brand is essential in ensuring these decisions are all positive.
I create professional, persuasive and effective brands which my customers’ customers trust, buy into and ultimately buy from.
I also create marketing collateral following already established brand guidelines ensuring every piece is consistent with the client’s vision.
Marketing collateral
Promoting a business requires that every touchpoint sings from the same hymn sheet. Every post, brochure, presentation.
Consistent application creates recognition and builds a cohesive, understandable and approachable brand that potential customers buy into and believe.
My extensive experience has provided me with the skills and knowledge to quickly create appropriate and compelling solutions for any marketing or design requirements; from simple posts, through advertising and reports, all the way to brochures and multi-faceted campaigns.
More… including Claude
We live in a multi-faceted visual world. The image rules, whether it’s static or dynamic.
My brand deployment skills extend into web design, photography, video editing and animation, creating impactful and compelling images that grab the viewers’ attention and then keep them watching.
I also create Claude design systems from existing and/or newly created brand elements. The latest AI technology allows clients to quickly create effective digital assets that follow their brand rules.

Testimonials
“Andi has been our secret weapon at Edison for over five years. Whether we're working on brochures, presentations, social content, or brand evolution, I can always rely on him to bring our vision to life.
Andi is not only incredibly skilled at design but also fantastic at video editing, audio editing (eg podcast production), animation and photography, but also remarkably quick and dependable. What I value most, though, is his collaborative approach and lack of ego. He is a joy to work with and I recommend him wholeheartedly to any business seeking a talented, versatile designer they can trust as a long-term partner.”
Sukie Thomson, Marketing Director, Edison Group
“After trying numerous London design agencies, none seemed to ‘get’ the brand I had in my head. Andi managed to coax the thoughts in my head onto paper which I was delighted with. How he does that, I don’t know… but it’s a true gift. And now, he’s done it twice!”
Craig Hartzel, CEO & founder, Hartz AI
“When it came to relaunching Route 39, the one thing we knew was that we wanted it doing properly, and that meant using Andi Rusyn. Beyond that, we really didn’t know what we wanted, and the brief was very vague. Somehow, Andi just got it. Straightaway. ‘Little Mark’, our brand character, is genius. It brings the whole business to life in a really fun and engaging way. We now have a brand that is perfect for our business. It’s difficult to express just how pleased we are. On top of that, the way the project progressed and the professionalism with which it was handled were exceptional.”
Steve Saul, MD, Route 39
“It’s been a real pleasure working with Andi Rusyn. Right from the word go he knew what I needed when I didn’t. I’ve been utterly impressed with his ideas and creativity throughout. As a photographer my business is beautiful images, and I now have a brand that reflects this perfectly in a truly unique way. It’s a brand I’m very proud of.”
