Creative events agency WONDER London has recruited David Crease in the newly-created role of Design Director.

Reporting directly into Creative Director Chris Helliwell, Crease will be leading the agency’s design studio on a day-to-day basis, working to ensure all work adheres to the original creative intent of each project. He will also be mentoring the existing team and recruiting new members.

A multi-award-winning designer with 15 years events industry experience, including large scale automotive events and 3D projection mapping, Crease joins WONDER London after a six-year stint at Stagestruck, where he held positions including Head of 3D and Head of Creative. An industrial design graduate, his past clients include Bentley, BP, Carlsberg, Barclays, Marks and Spencer and Bloomberg.
