Hi, Mark here – self-taught designer and the founder of a graphic design agency called Superfried. As the name and my background suggest, Superfried is anything but conventional. So I seek forward-thinking organisations, that are seeking unconventional ideas and design solutions.

Launched from a London bedroom in 2007, Superfried now delivers award-winning brand strategy from sunny Manchester. I collaborate with external specialists to provide bespoke solutions for domestic and international clients. I believe this approach delivers the most versatile and cost-effective results.

As a graduate of environmental science, I provide a distinct perspective that aligns seamlessly with the ethos of sustainability-led organisations. A principle shared by Superfried as a proud member of 1% for the Planet.

To deliver effective strategies and creative solutions, client collaboration is key throughout the design process. This is achieved via research, a lot of questions, and even more listening. Only then, can I begin to fully understand and resolve your challenges.

In addition to editorial recognition both online and in print, Superfried has won multiple awards for graphic design, branding, and typography. However, my greatest accolade are the verified reviews from happy clients, without whom this bold Superfried venture would not be possible.

If like Superfried, you want to be different, book a call to discuss how I can help you realise your ambitions. It will be great to chat with you over tea or WiFi.

Having a logo that’s both professional and whimsical, but also distinctive and artistic was a tall order, but Superfried were really patient, and they understood what was required to achieve those.

As always with Superfried, the quality of the design, particularly the typography is amazing. I have been in the advertising business for 30 years, working on big brands in big agencies. As a design typographer, Superfried is easily in the top three that I have ever worked with.

Mark’s beautiful, multi-faceted artwork perfectly captures the Dsposal brand, highlights the complexities of waste and teases the idea of the circular economy. He was a pleasure to work with and a great designer. We will happily use him again.

We were impressed with the clean and dynamic designs Superfried produced as well as the persistence to push the design without complaint. We weren't an easy client in terms of being unsure about making a decision, but Superfried were open to trying new angles and playing around with ideas we had.
