Dom Edwards
Co-founder of The Arena
Dom is a designer of many things. So many things he often loses track, which makes writing bios a nightmare. He mostly works on brand identity and packaging projects and has done so at some of the UK’s leading creative agencies and global sports brands. You can also find him doing lots of motion design and printmaking. He will probably end up doing something totally different by the time you’ve read this, so good luck keeping up.
In 2018 and post-graduation, he dreamt up the idea for The Arena. Experiencing the struggles of getting your foot in the door first-hand, he became determined to help as many people as possible pursue a creative career. Now eight years in, he balances his own independent practice whilst running The Arena on the side.
