Bonjour! I’m Dom Edwards, a British/French brand designer living and working in London. I currently freelance, combining both design and strategy, to help great people turn their ideas into brands that spark change in society.

As a believer in lifting as you climb, I founded creative community platform The Arena – which exists to bridge the gap between education and industry for emerging creatives. We do this via our mentoring programme and digital content.

Drop me a note if you’d like to work together, get involved with The Arena or just fancy a chat and a croissant 🥐

  • In 2018 I graduated from Portsmouth university (the same year G won the tour 🚴) where I studied graphic design and printmaking. I then went on to work at Ascend Studio, fusing my craft-led approach with the world of digital design and branding.

    In early 2021 I made the move to freelance life, taking everything I’d learnt to work more closely with passionate people.

    During my past three years in industry, I was simultaneously conjuring up what is now The Arena – interviewing some of the UK's most inspiring creatives, sharing knowledge to help others where I struggled and establishing a UK-wide mentoring programme. This has been one of the most fulfilling projects of my career so far.
