I work with founders and teams to translate complex ideas into actionable brand systems that drive engagement, bring clarity, and maintain coherence for growing products and organisations.

What I do.

Every brand has a story. I help you tell yours.

Strategy

I work with you and workshop exactly who your brand is for, what you stand for, and how we bridge the gap between those two things.

Tuesday mid-match, locking in a chinlock

I'm Tuesday. Designer, director, and former pro wrestler.

Wrestling taught me that a good story needs a clear hero, a better villain, and a finish the crowd believes in. Design is the same job with different tools: find the angle, pace the reveal, and know when to cut something.

These days I work across branding, motion, and product design, with a soft spot for tabletop games. I'm also making Heels&Faces, my own wrestling RPG, and I run a few tabletop games of my own.

I was known for wrestling barefoot. The boots metaphor was never going to work.

13 years of work, all through word of mouth.

There is no one I would trust more with my visual marketing than Tuesday. They created a trailer, marketing teasers and a brand that perfectly matched the Nordic Horror theme of the system and the environmental horror of the narrative I’d crafted. Tuesday is professional, engaging, enthusiastic, and a delight to work with.

Gabriel RMCreator, Dark Tides: Rising Waters

Tuesday is a brilliant designer who can adapt to different target audiences and they always surprise us with the results. They’re also a lovely person to work with, genuine and engaging, which makes them brilliant at managing pesky clients like me who keep wanting to add more and break things.

James HorspoolManaging Director, TX Ops

Cult of Vain’s transformation under Tuesday’s artistic vision was nothing short of phenomenal. Their expertise in promotional design and animated content elevated our brand, perfectly capturing the essence of accessible luxury and hedonism.

Lylia JaneProject manager, Cult of Vain

Tuesday’s skill as a designer is second only to their professionalism. I have worked with them on several projects now and have always appreciated the amount of back and forth we have throughout the process, not to mention loving the final outcome every time.

Ian E. MullerFounder, Gehenna Gaming

Tuesday has a real creative flair using digital technologies. They’ve designed our app UI, brand logos and website and done a brilliant job with all of it, always on the money in terms of the brief and turned round so quickly.

James HorspoolManaging Director, TX Ops

Their creativity, attention to detail, and user-centric approach have resulted in designs that always exceed our expectations. Their ability to understand our needs and translate them into compelling designs is unmatched.

Matt GibsonFinance & operations, Sauce Consultants

Working with Tuesday has been transformative for the visual story of our organisation. From dynamic videos to captivating brand visuals, they consistently deliver exceptional work with professionalism and precision.
