Brand Foundations: Simon Dixon

For the past 20 years I've been building a career in the creative industry. From studying art, graduating in design and then crafting my skills as graphic designer, I've always appreciated the marriage between art and design. Now, working as a brand strategist, I have even more appreciation for the role of crafted design and artistry in the branding process.

An agency that is leading the way in creating beautiful and brilliant brands is DixonBaxi, a global brand and communications agency based in London. I recently caught up with founder and Creative Director Simon Dixon. Simon refers to himself and his partner Aporva as commercial artists as art is still within the fabric of their work. Although they use design systems and create functional designs that their clients use for their communications, they are changemakers in the industry, pushing boundaries in the world of branding and design.
