MY PHILOSOPHY &
RECENT
PROJECTS

Matthew le Maistre Smith [aka Joined Up Thinking] is an award winning designer.

I create, design and deliver creative services to both large & multi-national companies,  advertising & design agencies through to and equally important SMEs, individuals & new start ups.

I deliver consistent innovation at the highest level and I design so that whoever I design for I’ll position you, your product, service, app, website or company correctly and with a design and strategic logic to last you for many years.

Having been lucky enough to work around the world for many years, I also have a network of experts in their field, be it photographers, copywriters, other brand experts, developers and print experts, etc. So, should a project require extra human resources, I’m well placed to pull in whatever is needed to get the job done. If you wanted a photoshoot (for instance) done in Singapore, London or Miami (all of which I’ve done in the past) – I’ll deliver both for you and your client.

That is the USP of Joined up Thinking: Great design – fully thought through – that will stand the test of time.
