Micaela joined the Design Matters team in 2004 while studying Visual Communications at the Art College, Belfast. Micaela has a keen eye for Graphic Design, which shows in her work and, in particular, her Bespoke Wedding Stationery.

Away from her role at Design Matters, Micaela spends some quality time with her beautiful family. She also has a huge love of music – and makes us all listen to the “next big thing” whether we want to or not! Headphones are a great invention.

Aaron specialises in making promotional videos that include camera work, drone filming complete with stills, video editing and motion graphics. His “birds eye view” has given our Clients a new perspective and opened their eyes to new possibilities – the sky’s the limit!

You could find Aaron anywhere in his spare time. He could be climbing mountains, bouldering through rivers, kayaking through lakes or jumping off (small) cliffs – all with his GoPro in hand to capture the action.

What We Do

?ta gnirats uoy era tahw

The single most important aspect of any visual communication is to grab the attention of your target audience. So from our point of view, if you are still reading this, so far, so good.

We are a multi-disciplinary design company with a confirmed reputation for generating original effective design solutions across the wide spectrum of visual communications including branding, advertisements, brochures, logos, posters, packaging, signs, print and social media... in fact the list is endless.

Beware of the Bull


Design effectiveness is not achieved through clichéd philosophies and observations. It comes through a high level of creativity brought about by innovative thinking, careful, strategic planning and inspired management.

We believe that paying for design effectiveness in all visual communication should be considered as an investment to increase sales. It doesn't have all the answers but has a special role to play in getting your message across to your target audience and create those opportunities to sell.
