In her spare time she runs one of North London’s most competitive pub quiz teams, and goes on very long hikes in far flung places.
Daniel Keeffe is a designer hailing from Banbury town in Northern Oxfordshire. Since graduating from Kingston University in 2014, his design career has taken him from some of London’s top-ranking studios to a position in Saigon, Vietnam where he worked for five years.
While there he won design awards from the likes of Red Dot and Monotype, picked up conversational Vietnamese and acquired a refined taste for all things with a fish sauce base. He returned to the UK in 2021 with a broadened perspective on design (and life).
Daniel joined Johnson Banks in 2022 to apply his skills to causes, organisations and people he believes in, and has already played a key role in projects for the Anna Freud Centre and West Dean College.
Originally a student of architecture, Jonathan pursued an education in graphic design, graduating in 2018 from the Glasgow School of Art’s Communication Design programme. Before joining Johnson Banks, he worked in an advertising agency in Glasgow whilst pursuing projects that were important to him, either through his work with the Scottish teaching unions or a bio-tech start-up finding a cure to Parkinson’s.
Since joining Johnson Banks he has worked on projects for Brighton Festival and Imperial College London, and the landmark UNESCO World Heritage Site, Jodrell Bank.
In his spare time, he dabbles in speculative cartography, binge watches the X-files and dreams of joining a jazz band.
Lizzie began her career as a Research Assistant for the Rhodes Professor of Race Relations at St Anthony’s College, Oxford. She moved into advertising to work at Boase Massimi Pollitt and Doyle Dane Bernbach during the glory days of 1980s British advertising. She finally switched to the design industry, where she worked as an Account Director at Smith & Milton and Coley Porter Bell. Key clients at this stage included Cadbury’s, Dulux and Tate and Lyle.
She then worked with Williams Murray Banks (now Williams Murray Hamm) during its formative years before moving to Johnson Banks as finance director.
In her spare time, Lizzie is still working on her topspin forehand, volunteers for the Royal Trinity Hospice and founded one of South London’s longest-running book clubs.
