A little about us...
Meet Ian Woodley, Creative Director of Astound, and discover what drives him to deliver fresh creative thinking for clients.
A passion for good design
I always wanted to be a designer. For me, it's the power of efficient communication, the satisfaction of a well-designed product (nothing annoys me more than something that does not work well!), and the engagement of grabbing attention with words or images. After thirty years of running creative studios, the passion is still there – and leads me to constantly find new avenues to explore.

Let's go!
