We get excited about your brand story.

Luminous Industries is here to create bespoke digital brand experiences, through an open and collaborative process, which aligns our creative flare with the needs of our clients.

What Luminous Industries produces varies according to our client's requirement but always has their audience and their business needs at the heart of the thinking process and creative solution.

We love to tell the story of the brands and businesses we work with. We do this through curiosity, technical ability and industry expertise. We also do this by staying agile and seamlessly working with experts in their fields, to deliver outstanding results that mean as much to us as to our clients.

We would love to be part of your story and for you to be part of our own.

about The Founder:

Over the course of my nearly 25 year career, I have had the pleasure of working with world class brands across multiple sectors including fashion & beauty, medical, fitness, attractions as well as for the public sector. Some of those clients, you might well recognise and use yourself.

Starting out as a traditionally thought of graphic designer and illustrator, I soon started to apply my craft to digital media. Today I am a Creative Director and highly experienced in the field of graphic design generally but with a focus on the user experience (UX) of digital media.

The world has a special name for what I do, UX&UI Design. This phrase describes a way of working that aims to smooth out the friction points that users experience while interacting with digital media, usually websites and apps. User Experience (UX) and User Interface (UI) design are very different disciplines where the former is concerned with research and discovery, which then informs the latter. Though different, they are closely linked and have the power to bring significant benefits to user needs and business goals; and to create a positive value loop between them.

My passion lies in creating digital experiences for websites and other emerging technologies, that are inclusive and accessible and that tell brand stories. I believe that technology needs to be better not people and I also believe in a fair, honest and authentic approach to the work I do.

Rob Fryer

Founder and Owner of BrandStorm

Rob is the Founder and Owner of BrandStorm and began his career over 20 years ago and his experience has evolved from professional graphic design into strategy and branding.

In the early stages of this journey, Rob was lucky enough to work alongside some well-known brands including Marks & Spencer, Maersk Shipping and GSK which gave him great insights into how brands operate and communicate. These insights are what Rob has built BrandStorm on and perhaps the biggest insight was that all these brands had 1 thing in common. Purpose - They all had a purpose they stood for and believed in and that is what guided every decision or activity.
