I’m Chris. I help organisations find their story and build brands people actually believe in.
Over 20 years working with agencies, blue-chip companies and purpose-led organisations have taught me one thing. The best brand work means nothing if the story inside doesn’t match the story outside. So that’s where I start. With what’s real. The Bakers Dozen exists because good design should do more than look good. It should move people. Available now for new projects, big or small.
For hands-on brand and design delivery, you’re in the right place; for board-level culture and leadership work, that’s chrisdowdall.com
The Bakers Dozen stands for always going the extra mile to deliver more than expected. Being curious in our approach and creating something that delights you and your customers, leaving everyone hungry for more.

Design for GOOD
Each year I take on a small number of pro bono or reduced-rate projects for charities and social enterprises that have real impact and operate on tight budgets. Get in touch and we’ll see if it’s a fit.
Outside client work I mentor university students and coach my son’s football team on Saturday mornings. I’ve also mentored young people through MCR Pathways. It all connects. You can’t talk about culture and leadership without living it a wee bit yourself.
