A passion for the aesthetic. A drive for connection, justice and happiness.

Somerset Bean: graphic designer, doodler, painter, sculptor

Graphic design that makes things grow

Design for change. Design that connects.

Bringing over 35 years of experience in graphic design to causes, communities and initiatives that matter — from social justice and press freedom to ecological and community-led action.

My focus is on creating visuals that inform, engage, and mobilise.

Rooted in a background of campaign work, including over a decade with the global Free Assange movement, this practice blends craft, clarity and context to support projects with purpose.

Working closely with non-profits, independent media, advocacy groups and small businesses, each project is approached with care and flexibility — from infographics to identities, flyers to booklets, banners to billboards — ensuring the result speaks clearly and powerfully to your intended audience.

Art that grows hearts

Wear it. Paint it. Build it.

My art is a space for play, colour, commentary and connection.

From hand-drawn, wearable pieces to bold large-scale murals and experimental public sculpture, my artistic work explores visual language in less expected ways.

Some of it speaks directly to the world we live in — other pieces invite you to bring your own meaning.

Murals and sculpture are new projects I’m currently growing. Each is an extension of the same impulse: to make something meaningful, shareable, and often surprising.
