Mark Holland-Hicken - the designer... 

I have successfully run my design consultancy for the last 6 years. My product, graphic and brand design work is seen in many worldwide markets and bears the brand names of many "blue chip" clients.

Whereas my paintings revolve around "sensuality" my design work focuses on "elegance"...

..I have put together 4 portfolios for you to look at - the work isn't seperated into the different design disciplines simply laid out for you to enjoy and appreciate. Some of the work is purely conceptual, some illustrative and some is of manufactured product...
