I love...
What attracted me to the tree?
I started out at the tree as a couch surfing freelancer, and after 2 months of hard work I was lucky enough to join the team full time. No two days have been the same, and it’s been an absolute pleasure since heading south of the border. Plus, it’s nice to get away from the drizzle.
My experience
After 4 brutal years of an engineering degree, I decided to hang up the calculator and pursue my love for graphic design. 3 years later and I’ve never looked back, savouring spending my days hopping between design disciplines. Starting my career in house with Good Technology, a large tech company, then a stint with Northbound, a small Leicester based design agency, led me to joining the team in the tree house.
It’s a refreshing change working in such a creative and productive team, having real (generally positive) influence over the outcome of each and every project that comes through the door.

The tree is a place where friendships are made, as well as some pretty awesome campaigns.
the family feel genuinely exists here at the tree.
