Meet our Team

Ian Ladley

Creative Director

I set up my business in 1998, with the goal of running a design agency which produces outstanding work with no nonsense.

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, or walking the dogs followed by a smooth pint of bitter.

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

Web Developer

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

Graphic Designer

I’m a graphic and animation designer with a borderline obsession for all things design (I get funny looks when asking people on the bus about fonts). When I’m not designing, I enjoy running and recently completed London Marathon! And have a new found love for bouldering.
