Mark Haygarth
I'm an Executive Creative Director and branding and packaging designer with 30+ years of experience creating award-winning brands across London and Sydney. Throughout my career I've partnered with leading consumer brands, specialising in branding, packaging design and brand identity, predominantly within the food, beverage and FMCG sectors.
Before founding Denver Design, I established and led my own packaging design agency for more than 13 years, helping grow it into one of Australia's leading independent packaging design studios.
I'm a passionate problem solver who enjoys uncovering smart, strategic solutions. One of the most rewarding parts of my work is immersing myself in new categories, challenging conventional thinking and finding opportunities others might overlook.
I approach every project with a commercial mindset, ensuring that every brand identity and packaging solution is not only beautifully crafted but also designed to achieve real business outcomes.
For me, the best creative work comes from collaboration. I'm not afraid to challenge a brief when it leads to a better solution, and I believe honest partnerships produce stronger work.
