Tinstar Design is a small, reliable, creative graphic and website design studio based in the centre of Lymington, Hampshire — probably the best Georgian sailing town to be found due south of the New Forest National Park. Founded in 1997, Tinstar took a small group of clients, nurtured and cared for them and, in doing so, developed a solid reputation for creativity, imagination and trustworthiness — as well as a much bigger client list. Owner and Creative Director, Nick Beresford-Davies, first worked in the creative industry in 1988 as a paste-up-artist, hand-making pages for the free classified paper, Friday Ad in Uckfield, East Sussex. Working at a drawing board with nothing but Cow Gum, a scalpel and a fully staffed darkroom at his disposal, Nick was hooked from Day One. Fast forward six years. One History degree and several interesting decisions later, Nick began work with Plum Creative, a New Forest graphic design and book packaging studio. Whilst with Plum, Nick’s graphic design arsenal was complemented by the opportunity to delve into the brand spanking new world of website design.
