Background

About Marcus Walters

Helping brands and organisations communicate with clarity, creativity and optimism. Hi, I’m Marcus, an experienced art director, illustrator and designer based in the UK. I run Marcus Walters Studio, where I work across brand, illustration, and creative direction for clients ranging from cultural institutions to ethical brands, independent businesses, and national retailers. My work is rooted in bold, hand-crafted visual thinking, combining clean design systems with tactile, colourful illustration. Whether it’s brand identity, hand cut typography and illustrations, creative direction for a product range, I aim to deliver work that’s creative, enduring, and precise. Areas of focus • Brand & visual identity • Illustration (editorial, packaging, retail, publishing) • Design for campaigns, print & digital • Wayfinding & signage systems • Surface pattern & product design • Art direction & brand guardianship I’ve worked with organisations including Tate, BBC, V&A, Innocent, Westmorland, Coca-Cola, and many others - both independently and in collaboration with studios, agencies, and in-house teams. I’m keen to hear from people who are passionate about thoughtful, creative communication — whether that’s a brand with a story to tell, a publisher with a new idea, or an organisation looking to build something lasting. I’m currently open to freelance, part-time, or project-based collaborations. DM me or visit marcuswalters.com to see more of my work.
