Hello, i’m Marcus Graham, a Graphic Designer from Manchester, UK, now working from the beautiful tropics of Far North Queensland, Australia.
I’m now in my 30th year as a creative, starting from a Junior position helping to get a fledgling advertising and signage agency up and running, followed by 6 years at The Guardian, designing Manchester’s much celebrated City Life Magazine - a weekly 84 page lifestyle and listings magazine that boosted the careers of many local musicians, artists and comedians.
The closure of City Life Magazine prompted me to set up MGDS, to continue providing services to external clients that i’d developed a good working friendship, this included The Comedy Store, a joyful 25 year relationship working as brand consultant and marketing designer.
The most recent 12 years, I've worked with agencies specialising in branding and marketing for the property sector, providing successful creative solutions for major clients which include Avison Young, CBRE, Colliers International, Cushman & Wakefield, JLL, Knight Frank, and Savills.
In 2022, the family made a big move from the UK to Cairns, Australia, living the dream!
