If I was as famous as the brands I’ve worked for, I’d be a household name!

Steve Rowland
Graphic Designer | Art Director
Hello. I am an award winning graphic designer and creative director who has worked with some of the worlds best known private and public sector brands and charities.
With a portfolio that spans three decades and a range of industry sectors, I have a proven track record in providing dynamic creative design and digital work across a wide range of projects for prominent clients at both a regional and national level.
With a wealth of experience and knowledge and a reputation for delivering outstanding creative results for clients and their audiences, my work predominately covers brand identities, information design, advertising, direct mail, exhibitions, signage, packaging, digital and web.
ROWL&CO is a new creative studio in Norwich. I work in the knowledge that great design and creativity cannot happen without passion, intelligence and, above all, personal commitment, which I know, a business like yours deserves.
The story so far
After leaving Art College in 1986 I worked in-house for a variety of companies and design agencies as a graphic designer. And, almost a decade on, in 1995 joined The Russell Organisation Ltd (TRO), working for a range of blue chip clients including BMW (GB), Mercedes Benz, Volvo (UK), Renault UK and Carrat Media.
In 1997 I was invited to join the founding team of Shorthose and Russell in the newly created sister company to TRO, Shorthose Russell Ltd (SRL), specialists in marketing and design, as their lead creative.
I continued to work with clients for the automotive sector under the TRO banner adding MINI, Volvo (UK), Honda (UK), Vauxhall Cars, Jaguar Cars, and blue chip client Lloyds TSB to the client list.
The work encompassed brand identities, direct mail, face-to-face communications, information design, point-of-sale, digital, websites, exhibitions and packaging design.
The same year I helped secure their founding blue chip client the National Trust, designing print collateral for the East of England and later nationally.
As the company grew, I was pivotal in winning new clients across a range of different sectors, designing for Norwich Castle Museum, Mills & Reeve, Holkham Hall Estate, TaxAssist Accountants, ProQuip, Lovewell Blake, AviForm, MuscleForm, RenEnergy and many more.
Looking for new creative challenges, in 2020 I founded ROWL&CO.
