who is tallhatDesign?
Chris is passionate about design, graduating with a first-class BA (Hons) degree in Graphic Design. He has since built up a wealth of real-world experience in design and marketing, working for large clients (Orange, HSBC, Guinness) at a London digital marketing agency, as well as startups, SMEs and small businesses.
“I love the mix of projects that comes from working directly with small business owners and blue-chip clients.”
Chris straddles the design and development gap, providing a full-service for smaller clients, but continues to provide specialist design services to the agency market.

Chris is always quick and responsive to our business needs. We felt sure we’d be closed down due to the coronavirus. But we drew up an idea for a takeaway service and Chris rearranged the website tastefully and carefully within hours. We began trading as a takeaway service the next day. It’s still thriving!”
Rosy Hall, The Bathwick Boatman RestaurantChris was a pleasure to work with. He took the time to fully understand what we were trying to achieve before starting work and was always willing to go the extra mile to ensure we ended up exactly where we needed to be. Would happily recommend tallhatDesign to anyone!”
