Design experience.
A personal approach.

I'm Steve Goodwin, the designer behind SGSS Design.

I've spent my career helping businesses and organisations communicate through good design — from traditional graphic design and printed literature to branding and WordPress websites.

I believe good design starts with understanding what you're trying to achieve, who you want to reach and what you need to communicate.

01 / BACKGROUND

A background in graphic design.

My career began in graphic design, working with the typography, imagery, layout and production processes involved in creating effective visual communications.

That background continues to influence everything I do.

Whether I'm designing a logo, developing a brochure or building a website, I approach the work with the same attention to detail and appreciation of how design can make information clearer and more engaging.

As technology and the needs of clients have evolved, my work has expanded to include WordPress website design and development, combining traditional design skills with digital functionality.

02 / CONNECTED THINKING

More than one discipline.

One of the advantages of working with SGSS Design is that I can bring different areas of design together.

A new identity might need to work on a website, printed literature, signage or branded clothing. A website might need bespoke illustrations, diagrams or supporting marketing material.

Having experience across these different disciplines means I can consider the whole picture rather than treating each piece of design in isolation.

03 / PERSONAL SERVICE

Working directly with you.

When you contact SGSS Design, you'll be dealing with me throughout the project.

I enjoy getting to know the people behind the businesses and organisations I work with, understanding their ideas and helping them find the right way to present themselves.

Some clients come to me with a clearly defined brief. Others need help deciding where to begin.

Either way, I aim to make the process straightforward, collaborative and enjoyable.

04 / BEYOND CLIENT WORK

A creative life beyond client work.

Alongside my commercial design work, I'm also a motoring artist and printmaker, producing limited-edition relief prints through Inky Crow Art.

It's a different creative discipline, but one that draws on many of the same principles: composition, colour, typography and attention to detail.

I'm also a member of the Guild of Motoring Artists, for whom I produce the visual design of its quarterly Redline magazine as Art Editor.

That combination of commercial design and personal creative work keeps me continually interested in new ideas and different approaches.
