Owen joined The Northern School of Art after working in multiple industry roles for almost 5 years. Owen is currently working across both the Graphic Design and Digital Design & Advertising programmes.

Owen works with a social consciousness – using creativity in order to create real-world change. Prior roles in industry have allowed Owen to explore commercial graphic design with an ethical and social focus for Newcastle-based Sail Creative. Sail’s focus was to work with clients that are on the forefront of change and collaborate with those who recognise the value of creativity and partnerships to elevate their impact.

During his time at Sail, they were recognised in Creative Boom’s top 15 places to work as a graphic designer in the UK, alongside the likes of Accept and Proceed, Spotify and DixonBaxi.

Owen is the co-founder of [blank spacecraft], an experimental creative studio. Works include graphic collections, experimental typographic image making through creative destruction and also developments into 3D and motion. He has also researched the meanings of limited edition and ways in which the design process can be challenged beyond the concept of a final outcome.
