Paul Simpson

Paul is a multi-disciplinary graphic designer, joining the Oxford HR team in May 2022. He holds a BA (Hons) in Graphic Design from The University of Edinburgh and is passionate about all things design and technology, exploring how these can be used as a force for good. His main areas of interest lie in climate action and sustainability.

Paul brings a rich and playful design process with him to Oxford HR, creating effective and meaningful solutions that thrive across digital and print. He has spent the past few years working as a freelancer alongside his academic studies, designing for a diverse range of clients and working across specialisms like art/creative direction, branding & identity, digital design, motion graphics, print design, typography and web design.

”Oxford HR's presence within the for-purpose sector offers a brilliant opportunity for a newcomer like myself to learn more about the important work of charities and NGOs around the globe, and how design can contribute to making a real difference for real people.

”Working with OXygen was an extremely enjoyable and productive experience. The team took the time to understand our needs and utilised a wide range of skills to get us the result we needed - from organisational development and tone of voice to great design and technical ability.

”I highly recommend OXygen to companies looking to work with creative, well-integrated teams willing to go the extra mile. OXygen’s writer delved into a mountain of content and did a beautiful job surfacing the most important points, that she then wove it together into a compelling narrative. The designer – well – the attractiveness and clarity of the final product speakers for itself! And the project management was superb, ensuring that we hit our deadlines and functioned like a cohesive, well-oiled machine, under tight deadlines.

Fiona MacaulayFounder/CEO, The WILD Network

”We have been working with OXygen for around 5 months now and we’ve been blown away with their creativity, input and overall responsiveness. They genuinely have felt like an extension of our own organisation and the quality of work has been very high. They seem to have mastered the balance of how much communication we as an external partner needed. Ultimately this partnership has exceeded my expectations, providing an output that I am sure matches what we might have hired someone to do as part of the staff team, at a fraction of the cost.

Nick BillinghamManaging Director, Charity People

”I was absolutely delighted with the brilliant design work which OXygen produced for Action for Trustee Racial Diversity’s groundbreaking Guide on recruiting Black and Asian charity trustees. The final result exceeded all my expectations. OXygen’s designers showed a high level of understanding, creativity, professionalism and, particularly, patience in interpreting our customer needs and adapting to them as they changed during the process, and even at the last moment. Feedback from our partners and supporters is that it's a fantastic piece of work.
