Chris Poulton

Chris studied at Falmouth School of Art, England, graduating in Graphic Design in 1993.  He joined FOUR IV Design Consultants the same year working with an array of Clients, including Rothschild, Lonrho, South West Trains, and Jones Lang LaSalle.

In 1997 he joined 20-20 Design Consultants working with Clients including Bhs, BT, Bass Brewery, Mothercare and Sainsbury’s.

In 2000, Chris joined Start Creative as a Senior Designer to work with large corporate and retail Clients, like Virgin, Royal Mail and Shell. 

In 2003 Chris formed Niche Design Consultants, a multi-disciplinary consultancy, which in 2006 then merged with Gregor Partnership.

Chris is now a Shareholder and Creative Director of gpstudio along with championing wider management responsibilities- Chris enjoys working with both Clients and nurturing the design team- successfully and significantly ensuring projects run to brief, schedule and budget.

"I enjoy the combination of thorough research, team spirit and hard graft, to develop creative excellence, strong design solutions and problem solving through design."

When not immersed in brand building, Chris can be found running the touch-line with his football-mad son Koby, playing with Star Wars lego, or cooking Italian meals (much to the delight of his partners’ Italian roots!)
