I’m Gav, or Gavin Stretch to use my full name. I design comprehensive solutions for digital and print that help my clients achieve their goals.
Over my career I’ve worked with household names such as EMI, Dreams Beds, The Post Office, Puma, Payzone, Together, Aviva and more. In addition to large organisations, I’ve worked with many startups and SMEs, helping to build their brand and businesses.
In 2012 I founded Mode=Create with my wife. We work and live in the beautiful countryside of the Peak District, half an hours train ride from Manchester. We’re trusted by startups, SMEs and larger organisations. Our digital and print expertise cover B2C and B2B across a wide variety of sectors.
Prior to founding Mode=Create, I led the design studio of a leading Manchester digital agency for 8 years.
I aim to work with like minded clients who operate ethically and are passionate about achieving their goals through design.
A mix of methodical, playful and explorative design, ensuring I uncover opportunities that help our clients achieve their goals and more.
It was a genuine pleasure to work with Gavin. He is organised, responsive and clearly very talented when it comes to design. He held our hand through the entire journey, answering any questions we had along the way and working brilliantly with our web developer. We are extremely happy with our new logo, web design, social media imagery and product imagery and will certainly be contacting Gavin for our future design requirements.
Working with Gavin for nearly 6 years has been an absolute pleasure. In that 6 years there wasn’t a single design challenge or brief Gavin didn’t deliver on. His experience, creativity, skill and positive attitude means he can and will always find the best outcome for any client.
As a client I have been able to rely his collaborative, advisory and professional approach and I know that the work I get will always be of a high standard. Gavin really cares about what he does and that’s evident is every piece of design work he produces, from taking the brief to delivering final artwork.
