MAXIMISING SUCCESS THROUGH DESIGN & CREATIVITY

In the fiercely competitive sports industry, It’s important to standing apart from the competition. From editorial spreads and event posters to dynamic social campaigns, I create pieces that capture the spirit of the game and the stories behind every moment.

About me

I’m Tim Shute, a sports focused illustrator, graphic designer and visual storyteller based in Jersey, Channel Islands.

I work with sports brands, media platforms and organisations to create bold, character driven visuals that connect with audiences. My work spans illustration, campaign design and digital content, with a focus on clarity, energy and storytelling that feels rooted in sport culture.

Alongside creative concepting, I bring practical experience working within digital and social environments. I understand how design needs to perform across platforms, from social feeds and websites to print and merchandise, and I build work with that in mind from the start.

Skills & Experience

I have experience delivering creative across a wide range of formats and platforms, working both independently and in collaboration with wider marketing and content teams.

My skill set includes:

  • Illustration and visual storytelling for sport

  • Art direction and concept development

  • Campaign and poster design

  • Social media and digital content creation

  • Editorial and print design

  • Merchandise and apparel graphics

I work confidently across the Adobe Creative Suite, including Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign, creating assets that are ready for real world use.

I’ve collaborated with organisations across professional tennis and sport media, contributing to tournament campaigns, editorial features and social content designed to engage global audiences.

Visual Storytelling

Illustration doesn’t just capture a moment, it brings it to life. Versatile and adaptable, it’s perfectly suited to the fast-moving world of sport, where stories change in an instant and visuals need to keep pace.

Whether I’m developing conceptual art, visual narratives, or brand-forward graphics, my goal remains the same:

To make work that resonates, inspires, and feels distinctly human.

I’m currently based in Jersey (Channel Islands) and I’m always open to new collaborations and creative opportunities.

If you’re building a bold campaign, growing an audience, or launching something new, I’m ready.
