Ellis Butler

Visual identity, digital content and urban photography.

I create clear, characterful work across branding, public-facing communication and visual storytelling.

Clear, useful content for public-facing audiences.

I’m a multidisciplinary creative working across visual identity, public-facing communication and photography. My work combines practical design with a strong interest in architecture, transport and the character of everyday places.

What I do

Branding & Identity

Visual identities, logos, colour systems and brand guidelines that feel coherent across print and digital.

Public-facing Communication

Clear, accessible information for real environments - including campaigns, notices, signage and digital content.

Photography

Urban, architectural and transport photography focused on atmosphere, structure and often overlooked details.

Design informed

by real places.

My background in railway operations, public communication, and community-focused work shapes the way I approach creative projects; clearly, practically and with attention to how people actually experience information and space.
