All by hand – Finishing a 3 day shop sign repaint in Arsenal N London.
NGS

I’m Nick Garrett — a master sign painter, typographer, and graphic designer. With decades of hands-on craftsmanship, I shape brand identities that blend the soul of traditional lettering with the clarity of modern design thinking.

From bespoke logotypes and custom fonts to full visual systems, I help businesses tell their story with authenticity and impact — using the time-honored tools of a signwriter and the sharp eye of a strategist.

If you’re building a brand that deserves more than a template, let’s create something iconic.
