The Crayon Dealer
I’m Gareth Robertson and I’m a graphic designer, a visual storyteller, content creator, podcaster and commercially creative businessman.
I founded Design Pit in 2012 after a career working at some of the best independent design studios across the Midlands. After some changes in our family lives, my wife and I decided to relocate our family to Salisbury in the summer of 2020. After successful 8 years in north Birmingham, Design Pit’s brand and reputation was strong enough to allow us to make the move but retain strong links with the region; and we still work as closely as ever with our Midlands clients albeit more remotely nowadays.
Since the move, Design Pit has gone from strength to strength, carrying on building and adding to a reputation for inspirational creativity and award-winning customer service. I’m incredibly proud of Design Pit and brands that we’ve built for clients over the years and look forward to growing our powerful graphic design portfolio from our new base on the south coast.
Meet the extended team…
Design Pit is an agile collaborative creative company. And over the years, we’ve built strong working relationships with creative professionals across the globe who help us service our clients to the highest standards.
The Web Guy
David has worked with Design Pit since 2013 and is our web development specialist. What he doesn’t know about the web, isn’t worth knowing! We’ve created many websites together over the years and also took part in the Three Peaks Challenge during 2019; click here to see the movie!
The Wordsmith
They say that the pen is mightier than the sword. If that is the case then Ross is a dangerous guy. A copywriter from Derbyshire, married to a Canadian and living in Berlin. And planning to move back to Ilkeston… or Vancouver. Listen to his podcast interview here, a blooming marvelous listen!
John Shoots People
No genuinely, he does! But he tends to use a fancy digital camera these days. John is our go-to guy for amazingly composed, beautifully edited photographs that elevate designs to the next level. John is a keen “rugby-ist” and featured in a special edition episode of our podcast; listen here.
Makes things wiggle
James is our master of motion image and makes our designs wiggle and move. Not only is he a dab hand with animation, he’s also a brilliant videographer and a fully qualified drone pilot. See some of James amazing videography work here.

Richard Lloyd – Business Consultant and Exit Strategist
“Often creative thinkers can find their minds wandering when business talk gets serious. But Gareth is a better businessman than even he realises and you can see his ‘end goal focus’ in Design Pit’s client work. Looking great is one thing but design must deliver. We called it a ‘creative reality’ when we worked together’ a sales focussed approach to creativity.”
