David Charles Cliff is a freelance graphic designer in York with more than 15 years of experience. He works with small and medium-sized businesses across Yorkshire, providing design for branding, packaging, Squarespace websites, print, signage and interior graphics. His work focuses on clarity, practicality and creating designs that communicate real value rather than decoration for its own sake.

David began his career as a journalist, which shaped his approach to visual communication. That background taught him how to tell a story clearly using both words and images, a skill that now informs everything from brand identities to website layouts. He believes good design should be honest, useful and easy to understand.

He now works independently from The Catalyst in York, collaborating directly with business owners, marketing teams and other creative freelancers. David chooses projects carefully so he can give each one proper attention, focusing on work he enjoys and where he can make a genuine difference.
