our people

Meet Sarah and Jonathan, your dedicated designers and project managers, and find out how we got into our careers in graphic and digital design.

Jonathan Smith

Jonathan is an enthusiastic, focused and detail-orientated video producer and web designer.

A graduate in Multimedia Technology from Leeds Metropolitan University, Jonathan was employed directly from his degree show in 2004, joining the award-winning online video department of a Yorkshire-based digital agency.

In 2007 he was given full responsibility for the creation of promotional videos, a role for which he managed all filming projects and gained commercial experience with national clients including Business Link, The National Trust, Gladedale Homes, Voucher Express, The Great Yorkshire Show and Tennants Auctioneers.

In September 2009 Jonathan joined Creative State and, as well as managing the online video arm of the business, supports Sarah in the delivery of website design projects.

Jonathan has a passion for all things digital. When he’s not designing websites or producing online videos for clients, he can be found buying gadgets and checking out tech events and conferences.

In his spare time he enjoys playing 5-a-side football and is a big rugby league fan.
