Duncan Kerr

Duncan looked set on a career in marketing having completed an HND in Business Studies and a first job in marketing for an IT company. However, quickly his natural flair for design became apparent and his role changed to in-house designer for the same company. Realising he needed training and broader experience he moved to work in the production department of a successful London agency whose clients included Speedo, Berghaus, Kickers, Ben Sherman, Sky Sports, Renault, Symantec, SMC, US Robotics and Allied Telesyn.

He stayed with this agency for over 6 years working in both design and production eventually leaving in early 2000 to work in a freelance capacity.

Having worked with Joanne before they soon came up with the concept for Design Eclectic, launching the business in 2001.

Duncan's experience gave great insight into the ideal agency from a creative perspective. Having seen many creative people find it hard to work within the confines of a traditional agency and also struggle with working freelance directly through poor project management or client service skills, he believes that Design Eclectic's innovative approach provides the ideal solution as it allows the creative team to concentrate solely on what they are best at which results in consistently fresh and innovative work.
