Design Swansea: Cropped

Showcasing the amazing creative work in Swansea and beyond

We have a great line-up of creatives who will be showing off their recent creative work in quick 10-minute lightning slots, ranging from design, web design, videography, typography, illustration, photography and more!

Dafydd Wilson - Designer

Dafydd, a profoundly deaf designer who works under the name Silent Design, will deliver a talk about a book he created for his degree show which combines graphic design with traditional printmaking techniques. Drawing on his practice of blending digital and hands-on processes, the project explores the relationship between contemporary visual communication and tactile craft. It was recognised with a Silver Award from Creative Conscience for its concept and execution.

Zofia Barcz - Photographer, Zofia Photography

We welcome back Zofia, the creative behind Zofia Photography, who will reflect on the progress she has made over the past year and the evolving mindset of a creative practitioner. Drawing on her experiences behind the lens, she will explore personal and professional growth.

Also showcasing are:

Jac Elsey - Designer, Swansea City F.C.

Jodi Moss - Co-Founder, Green Scene Swansea

Craig Gaymer - Videographer

Morgan Johnson - Designer, Cart

Dale Sinoia - Artist and Filmmaker
