That Said Studio.

Tomas Ireland MISTD
GRAPHIC DESIGNER
I'm an award-winning multidisciplinary graphic designer from west Belfast, in the north of Ireland. I studied Graphic Design at DJCAD (Duncan of Jordanstone) and specialise in editorial design, investigative journalism, brand identity, animation, film, and social media campaigns.

With a deep love for typography and the nuances of invisible design, I focus on the details that often go unnoticed, but make all the difference.
