Who on Earth am I?


Well I'm Callum Lonsdale, just your average designer in his early 20's. You'll either know me for my hatred against white text on black background websites, or that one guy who puts his fingers in a fair few pies.
After university I found myself in the usual pool of thousands upon thousands of graduates looking for a design job, and after a lot of rejections I decided to develop myself as a designer and more importantly a person and went travelling for just under a year.
Thanks to that travelling experience I found an American startup company that allowed me to work remotely and develop all sorts of skills I never knew I'd need. I primarily worked on the design of the website and any custom packaging that came our way, but I also helped with important business decisions, graphics for a convention we attended as a company and a whole lot of marketing.
I'm always interested in new projects, and even just meeting new people, so if you want to drop me an email I'll let you click below for my details.

Interests & Hobbies
Other than being a designer, I am a human being, so I do have personal interests and hobbies that sometimes don't align with design.


Like any normal gen z man, I have a YouTube channel. I primarily animated/draw over some story narrations, and occasionally I'll do some group content with friends.

Travelling
This is my favourite thing to do in my downtime, I've been to as of 2025, 26 countries and I'm forever expanding that list. I love to share my pictures and experiences on the page below, please take a look :)

Music & Concerts
Most of my personality revolves around music in some form, I'm a big rock/metal listener. I am trying to learn the electric guitar but finding time proves to be difficult, to combat that issue I use a concept I have for when I lose effort to design. I place whatever needs designing in an open space, prepared and ready to allow me to just get straight stuck in and for it to get stuck in my head.
