Tim began his career in traditional graphic design, but along the way began working with brands at a point where the big brand approach was being adapted from big global business and re-purposed for almost everyone. He realised early on that strategic thinking was something he was adept at, and the downstream business of doing graphic design was not where his ambitions lay.
He spent a lot of time in fashion, helping restructure existing brands and building new ones. He also spent a number of years at a global advertising agency, working on global consumer brands... then into brand and identity design where he made significant contributions to the restructuring of two of the UK's largest financial services companies.
Having worked for a number of years as a creative director, he became an illustrator and over five years he established a successful commercial studio on the harbour side in Hove with an enviable list of returning clients. Five years later though, it felt like a good time to return to a team based strategic thinking agency role.
He joined Space Doctors in early 2010 and provides culture and visual analysis, as well as wayfinding and inspiration. He also, on very rare occasions, treats everyone at Space Doctors to one his famous ‘delicious hot drinking beverages’ most commonly made from the leaves of the tea plant, or special granules created by grinding roasted coffee beans. These two basic beverage flavours can be customised in a variety of ways, most commonly by dissolving quantities of sugar into the liquid, or adding a variable amount of milk, or sometimes both of these things, combined into one beverage. In this way he is able to provide an almost limitless spectrum of beverage experiences.
He's wonderfully handsome, and terribly brave, and fantastically wealthy, and he writes his own biographies in the third person so convincingly that nobody ever suspects he was responsible for them.
