Jake Normandin
Operations Director

Luke Rideout
Digital Lead
Collaborating with global teams to deliver effective communication and creative strategy, Luke translates complexity into tangible forms. He holds a first-class degree in Graphic Design from Ravensbourne London and a Master's in the Design of Experiences from The Sandberg Instituut, Amsterdam. Until recently he lived in Seoul, where he worked as a Design Technologist at an AgTech startup. Luke is at home in a fab lab, behind a pair of turntables or walking through the forest.
Nic Mitchell
Creative Lead
Off the train from Norfolk, Nic specialised in publishing design before getting hooked on branding after graduating in 2015. They get their kicks from creating effective design that enables communication and brings people, community and businesses together. As a hiking fan, Nic says it is a fact that the most delicious sandwich is eaten at the top of a hill.
Luca Portik
Creative Lead
Over the past seven years, Luca has designed visual identities for start-ups, global brands, and everything in between. From branding and packaging to campaigns and motion, he has helped build intuitive design systems that share one thing in common: a comprehensive brand story. Originally from Romania, Luca was born just an hour away from Dracula's Castle — but swears he's not a vampire.
Liv Bacon
Senior Account Manager
Originally from Nottingham, Liv has spent the past five years managing brand and marketing projects, acting as the link between clients and creative teams. With a Law degree from University of Leeds, and a talent for bringing order to fast-paced environments, she leads work with clarity, warmth and a strategic focus. Outside of projects, she’s our resident Real Housewives expert — a title she accepts proudly.
Estere Litvinska
Account Manager
Originally from Riga, Latvia, Estere studied film at University of the Arts London and brings an eclectic set of credentials to And—Now. She's been foraging for mushrooms since childhood, once met Queen Elizabeth who asked about her painting (age 11), and is working towards her long-term goal of becoming a homesteader with a flock of ducks. She's also proved herself to be a seriously good Account Manager.
Sam Knott
Senior Designer
Sam is a senior designer with a sharp eye for typography and a determination to craft beautiful things. This is his second stint with the studio. He first worked with Andy & and Eleanor some seven years earlier, back when we were called Energy Design Studio. Returning now brings a certain full-circle quality. Reassuringly, some things have remained intact: a lasting love of typography and a slightly misplaced loyalty to Arsenal.
Kaiz Nawsath
Middleweight Designer
A firm believer of ‘form following function’, Kaiz is a class of ’21 graduate from the University for the Creative Arts in Graphic Design. He feels that the best solutions come from grasping the problem, and so values research highly -- while also understanding the importance of being experimental and playful in approach.
Krystell Bringas
Middleweight Designer
Krystell enjoys bringing positivity and colour to the world through design. She graduated with a degree in Graphic Branding and Identity from LCC in 2021. In her downtime, you can find her badly singing stupid jingles she's made about her dog or baking giant cookies.
Caitlin Powell-Page
Middleweight Designer
Originally from Brighton but now based in Dalston, Caitlin graduated from Central Saint Martins in 2023. She has a passion for all things research and creative strategy, and values conceptual thinking alongside exploring playful methods of design within her creative practice. You can often find Caitlin at her desk in the studio accompanied by a jar of pickles or wearing an excessively large bright scrunchie.
Tania Rodrigues
Junior Designer
Tania has hopped from Kenya, to Goa, to Glasgow, to London, to finally land here at And—Now, as a Junior Designer. She enjoys running quirky zines and making sauces from scratch. You can find her in the studio designing with a cup of chai in hand.
Dan Ball
Social Media Manager
Joining the studio to help the team stay focused on what they do best – crafting exceptional design – Dan works mostly behind the scenes, but plays a key role in keeping things on our social channels running smoothly.
