Alexander (Zander) is the founder of Daymark and our sister studio Designwell. Alexander has a passion for the intersection of business and design and loves helping businesses small and large to innovate using design strategy. Father to three creative girls and still attempting to play basketball every week you'll find him creative directing studio projects or scheming futuristic possibilities for our beloved clients.

Jackson has a deep understanding of strategic brand systems and their real-world applications. His knack for getting to know clients and understanding their ‘why’ enables him to produce refined designs that tell compelling stories. Jackson’s expertise in motion graphics brings extra life to our brand work, and his creative direction motivates and inspires our team. We’re thankful Jackson saw the light and returned home to help us design our ‘city of the future’, and his additional skills in brewing delicious craft beer make us like him just that little bit more...

Thomas is our silent assassin. With an intellectual approach to design he listens carefully to clients and thinks deeply about their needs. Don’t be fooled though, he’s not just a design square (although he does have a thing for right angles); what Thomas lacks in volume he more than makes up for with sharp wit and some serious zingers. Thomas has a knack for generating clever designs that relate to the right people and cut to the chase, efficiently communicating brand personality with quiet comedic value.
