A cosmopolitan
family
We believe the best work results from a partnership of equals, so Equus operates more like a family, where nobody is considered more important than anyone else. But being equal doesn’t mean being the same. The Equus team is a cosmopolitan crowd with a cultural diversity which broadens our outlook, enriches our work, and generally makes life more interesting.
Andrew Thomas Creative Director
With more than 30 years of experience in the branding and design industry, Andrew is the founding partner and creative director of Equus.
He has developed hard-won expertise in brand consulting, identity creation, and communications design, working with clients across Europe and South East Asia. His award-winning creative leadership has put Equus on the global design industry map.
His alter ego is as a nostalgia freak, restoring classics back to their retro glory, be they old cars, bikes or houses. His latest project is a 1960s Vespa.
