Dean Hayden

At 3ev we have long been in awe of Dean’s design skills. Dean has been responsible for the design output of 3ev for the past 3 years, working on projects for clients from The Chemical Brothers to Glyndebourne and from TNT Post to Twinings. Dean marries a rare yet delightful combination in design: expertise in usability, a flare for exciting and engaging visuals with a detailed understanding of front end technologies.

You can imagine our delight when in early 2010 Dean made the jump from running his own agency, Aespec, to join us as our full time design chief. Dean is awesome – a true design ninja!
