Hello

I'm a
creative leader &
brand specialist &
storyteller.
And I'm plant-based too.
So I'm good for the planet.
Peace, plants, and design.

I arrived here via Hong Kong, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and my own episode of Richard in Paris. Coucou! I’ve also signed the Official Secrets Act. Shhh!

Richard Monk

Head of Air Command Design at the Royal Air Force

I worked for nearly a decade in the advertising industry, working closely with clients to deliver successful campaigns based on insightful media strategies for brands such as Puma, Lexus, and Dove.

 

I was always interested in the beauty of design and how to use visuals to tell more powerful stories, so I enrolled at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design where I studied Graphic Design. I emerged full of ideas and with a love of design, and beauty, and all things visual, taking inspiration from the world of art to the world of the everyday and everything in between.

 

Now, as a creative leader, designer and brand specialist, I’m redefining the way that the Royal Air Force thinks about communication through design and storytelling. I am the head of the RAF's in-house design studio and the RAF's brand guardian.

 

I have led high-profile campaigns that are world-class examples of the RAF brand at its best, including my work with the Red Arrows. This kind of impact can take a leap of faith, but I’m persuading non-believers to believe, one soul at a time.

Certified Brand Specialist and Strategist

I am a Level C graduate, having been trained and certified personally by world-renowned branding expert Marty Neumeier.
