Ian Ladley

Creative Director

I founded Skinny Design in 2010, with the goal of running a design agency which produces great work with no nonsense. Since then, we've grown to a small, tight-knit team of professionals with a long list of loyal clients that sing our praises.

When I'm not in the studio, I like long cycling trips, perusing loud shirts in town and sampling the many beer offerings of the Harrogate District and beyond.

Ben Constable

Senior Graphic Designer

I'm Skinny's longest-serving designer, having joined Ian back in 2014. I live down in Crewe, where I work from my home studio. 
Outside work, I enjoy lifting weights and listening to trance music.

Phoebe Whitehead

Graphic Designer

The Harrogate outsider, usually found in York. Outside of the office you’ll find me binging the latest TV shows and movies, exploiting the use of sit-down exercise machinery, or talking to my live-in co-worker Mayonnaise the cat (she also takes phone calls).

James Hall

Graphic Designer

When I'm not designing for Skinny, I like spending time in the Great Outdoors, drawing, playing guitar and complaining about the state of music today (which I often do whilst designing for Skinny: it's part of my creative process).

Will Cotton

Junior Graphic Designer

Being the newest recruit to the Skinny Team, I make sure to deliver a hot and fresh coffee to everyone's desks before the day starts. The skills and enjoyment I have gained from working at Skinny design have been immeasurable. While away from work, I enjoy spending time with friends and family, if that be inside on a video game or outside exploring!
