Who am I ?
Beach Monkey Design
Whether it's waves on the shore, or birds in the branches, close your eyes, breathe in and feel free.
Simple, clear, powerful and chaotic, let nature inspire your world.
Christopher Batey
Who am I ?
Father, Chef, Builder, Massage therapist, Graphic designer and all round nice guy.
“A jack of all trades, but I know masters of some.”
I like long walks in the country and staring at the stars on summer evenings, On my days off I like to throw the plastic rings from around beer cans in the ocean to be used as jewelry by marine life or preserving dog poo in little plastic bags and hanging them from tree branches.
Honestly, I love being outside and gain a lot of inspiration from nature. Having a laid back approach and always trying to see the funny side of life helps with my design process and I usually sketch up any situation or problem into a comic book strip as my way of thinking and visualizing the issue. Of course I am conscious of the environment as everyone should be, so I am always on the look out for new and more economical methods of practice.
What have I done?
From building conservatories to making garden ornaments and statues, qualified practice in a variety of holistic therapies or working kitchens as a sous chef my experience and industry knowledge is varied and spans multiple sectors.
As for design based experience, My BA(hons) Graphic Communications, has given me a working knowledge of print and digital formats but more importantly has shown me how design influences the people who interact with it.
What can I do?
If you work with me, I can tailor a package that fits exactly what you need and will help you with creating any design aspect of your business or identity.
