Joe Phelan
Design & Inquiry

London-based designer working across visual communication and research, with a practice spanning brand identity, digital design and print in cultural, commercial and civic contexts.

Attentive to both substance and form, my independent pursuits explore myth, memory and the making of knowledge. These interests find expression through design and moving image, often intersecting with and informing my professional practice.

Otherwise, somewhere between films and tangents.
