MICHAEL BULLAMORE
FOUNDER, DESIGNER & EVERYTHING ELSE
Holding a BA (Hons) in Graphic Design with a background in hospitality and the experience of building a business from the ground up, Michael understands what's actually at stake when a brand needs to work. Over seven years in branding and design, he has worked with startups finding their feet and established businesses ready to move forward. With trends and buzzwords constantly flying around the industry, Michael takes a more grounded approach, keeping simplicity and clarity at the forefront of every project to deliver impact where it actually matters.
COLLABORATORS
& INDUSTRY PROFESSIONALS
When a project calls for it, Michael brings in a trusted network of specialists including photographers, copywriters, web developers and more, expanding the capability of the studio without ever expanding the distance between client and creative. Regardless of who is involved, Michael leads and directs every project from start to finish. You will always deal directly with him, never handed off to someone who wasn't part of the conversation from the beginning.

> TESTIMONIALS
Michael has been absolutely fantastic! He really helped to create beautiful designs for our healthcare-based conference from the roller banners to the conference flyers and brochures. Everything has been done to an incredibly high standard and I honestly can't fault anything.
SANDRA NGU, SOCIETY OF RADIOLOGISTS
Michael has been absolutely fantastic to work with on my branding for my new dog walking business, the whole experience has far exceeded all my expectations. After launching my business only a few days ago, I've already had new clients sign up and have had so many positive comments about the branding and logo.
SARAH LONDESBOROUGH, THE WAGGY WALKERS CLUB
I have no hesitation in recommending Bullamore. Michael has been key to creating my business brand that I’m super proud to show off! The whole experience has been professional and personable from start to finish.
JOANNE NOTON, JN FITNESS
I can’t recommend Michael and this company highly enough. He did the branding/ logo for my new Holiday let and B&B company. He guided me through every step and made sure that I understood and was happy at each stage. The result was more than I could have hoped for. I love my branding!
