A few projects we love…

Hannah Tallant

Karl Jaques

> Job title: Head of Design

> Work we love: This project had me at ‘comic-book super powers’. It was a licence to have fun and everyone at Twist really threw themselves into it, which clearly comes out in the photography and animation. A lovely way to celebrate skills in a fresh light.

Louise Seastron

> Job title: Senior Client Manager

> Work we love: I love reading the people stories in the Standard – the colleagues who go above and beyond their roles to help customers and each other. As a monthly publication, there’s a constant stream of good news stories.
