I’m Tom and I’m a Co-Founder and Creative Director at Green Chameleon. I’ve always loved design so starting my own agency was a long time coming. Some say when you find a job you love you’ll never work another day in your life, I couldn’t agree with this more! I studied Industrial design, but the progression to digital design was a natural one for me. The skills I’ve learnt are highly transferable, and my logical user orientated thinking gives me a unique edge when applied to marketing strategy, user experience and interface design.
I’m Nathan, co-founder and design director at Green Chameleon. I’ve always had an eye for design and after creating my first website at the age of 14 I got hooked on the idea of designing on-screen and the speed at which ideas come to life. After taking on several freelance projects whilst studying, I realised pretty early on that I wanted to make a career out of this and so starting an agency was always a goal of mine. I now enjoy crafting beautiful websites and brands for our clients.
I am Rollo, co-founder at green chameleon. Businesses I’ve run in the past have taught me the importance of integrating effective marketing material into communication strategies. I am now fortunate to work with talented creatives and technical experts developing and delivering creative strategies for exciting businesses on a daily basis. My role in green chameleon is client facing, I love generating ideas and working with creatives to deliver great results for our clients. Building this company has become a real passion and I am excited to see what the future holds.
Green Chameleon was founded by a group of talented creatives and marketeers in 2010. We are a creative solutions agency based in the center of Bristol, specialising in a number of design and technical disciplines, as we’re sure you have already discovered. If not have a quick peek at our expertise.
Here at Green Chameleon we share a mutual love for design and all things related! We can’t help ourselves but to talk about it so check our insights if you want to delve a bit deeper into the collective mind of Green Chameleon. This passion for design is reflected in our work where we create exciting and engaging designs for all our valued clients. At the heart of our company we believe in looking after the environment and supporting charitable organisations wherever possible, be it using recycled paper for print or cycling across nations to raise money in the name of a good cause.
Research is the foundation of every great design. Before we put a single pencil to paper we bend over backwards make sure that we truly get it! Every business is different and we don’t assume to know more about yours than you. We begin every project by learning the ins and outs of your business and brand. We conduct extensive research into relevant markets, delve into the minds of existing and potential consumers as well as analyse and critique your competition. From this we create a detailed road map which forms the backbone of your project. Discovery inspires and that is where design begins.
When it comes to design, our aim is to not only exceed the expectations of our clients but to push the boundaries of whatever discipline we are working in. We don’t believe in confining our work and style within guidelines set by others in our industry. We pride ourselves on providing a unique service, creating tailored and stand out solutions that raise the bar every time. We don’t do half measures, if you’re looking for creative solutions that leave your competition in the dust, we’d love to start working with you!
The development stage is, in all honestly, one of the hardest to describe due to huge scope of tasks involved. As a team we believe that development is intrinsically linked to the design stage and often, we go round in cycles between the two, constantly testing, evaluating and improving the product we are working on. The quote above really sums up this process, a design cannot be validated until a real user has interacted with it in some way, this is a stage that we really like to involve the client in so we can explain exactly the reasoning behind the designs we have created.
Delivery of the finished product is arguably the single most important stage of the process, the last hurdle in the project that if not carried out correctly can render the previous stages useless. We’re suckers for details, we go through several stages of vigorous testing to ensure we are happy with the solution before even thinking about the delivery. Once both the client and our team are confident that the final product meets all the requirements and is ready for launching, we deliver a neat package in the correct formats and help you to deploy the product successfully. Whether it’s taking your website live, delivering your brand guidelines or taking a design to manufacture, this is the stage at which it all comes to life and the real excitement begins.
