About
SHEERAN CREATIVE
A multi-disciplinary creative with decades of experience across design, photography and visual storytelling, working with clients across the UK and internationally.
My journey spans the Manchester creative scene through to building my own independent practice since 2015, supporting brands, startups and organisations with everything from creative artworking to direction and photography.
I’m always ready to solve all creative challenges directly, or I can lighten the load in a studio by offering session support in design, creative artworking or photography.
Work
MY PERSONAL FAVOURITES…
Over the years, I have had the chance to witness some truly amazing sights and collaborate on some fascinating projects.
My career has taken me all over the world, and living in Manchester gave me a rich history and culture to draw inspiration from, which really shaped my creativity.
Below I’ve chosen some of my favourite pieces of work to demonstrate some of the graphic design, photography and logo design, along with just some of the companies I’ve been proud to work with.

AVAILABLE FOR YOU
GRAPHIC DESIGN
It begins with understanding the brief and developing a strong concept. Guided by strategy, design principles and creativity, ideas are brought to life.
While technology continues to evolve, the fundamentals remain timeless. The design process will always be the key to solving creative problems. I can help with:
- Logo design & visual identity
- Marketing and Sales Support: Creating engaging marketing materials such as brochures, posters, stationery, packaging, ads, and flyers to boost engagement
- Social media and web graphics
- Problem-solving: Translating a creative brief into effective visual solutions that meet client goals.
- Signs and livery: From shopfronts to helpful directions, and from vans to trams. Creating designs that can elevate you from your competitors and can also arrange production and installation.
CREATIVE ARTWORKING
The technical and creative process of taking design concepts and preparing them for final production.
- Finalising & Formatting Designs: Taking initial creative concepts and refining them, which includes adjusting colours, fixing typography, and preparing layout files for print or digital output.
- Quality Control & Precision: Ensuring all work is at a high standard, error-free, and print-ready by checking spelling, size, layout, and image quality before production.
PHOTOGRAPHY
- Product Photography: Showcasing items for e-commerce and marketing.
- Advertising Photography: Creating conceptual, highly styled images for campaigns.
- Corporate/Business Photography: Capturing professional headshots offices and team environments.

I’ll make sure your brand shines.
Why me?
WHAT’S DIFFERENT?
Everyone says the same thing.
They too will have the sector experience and awards, so, what is it that sets us apart?
The ability to read a brief and already know what the client actually wants versus what they’ve written down.
The calm to walk into a crisis and look for the solution rather than panic about the problem.
Every piece of work you’ll see here has either been designed or photographed, with the passion and love, for what I do.
So, if you like what you see and want a bit of that same magic, let’s chat!
I’m here to help whenever you need me.
