About me
My name is Tony Eftihiou and I’m a Studio Manager and Senior Creative Artworker with a career spanning more than 35 years. During that time I have amassed a wealth of studio knowledge and insight, and been lucky enough to work with so many talented people, great agencies and prestigious clients – an invaluable and inspiring experience.
As a Studio Manager I’m comfortable with every facet of day-to-day studio operation and with all production requirements, from the simplest task to creating a brand new studio from the ground up. As a Creative Artworker I’ve worked across just about every sector and discipline (with automotive being a particular specialism), designing, artworking and retouching for both print and digital. And not forgetting those traditional studio skills when it’s a tangible pack or brochure mock-up that’s needed.
Central to everything is my love of design, attention to detail and enthusiasm. I am organised and conscientious, calm and level-headed. A genuine team player who thrives in the busy collaborative environment of the studio. I’m based in Leighton Buzzard and willing to travel across Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and London, working on-site, hybrid or fully remote.
Thank you for taking the time to view this snapshot of projects that I’ve been involved with. Please feel free to contact me if you’d like to see my full CV or to talk anything and everything studio.
“A superb studio manager with proven design and production skills, Tony embodies the best of both with a calm manner, and organised approach, incredible flexibility and killer creativity. Having had the pleasure of working alongside Tony for over two years I’ve come to have complete trust in his work and learned a lot from watching his approach. He has an unerring ability to translate the briefest of briefs into a fully-fledged plan and consistently delivers flawless work with great attention to detail and copy sensitivity. Confident in his abilities, Tony is always ready and able to justify his design decisions to both internal stakeholders and external clients and is a fantastic all-rounder, willing to learn and grow in pursuit of the perfect result. I cannot recommend him enough as a creative force to be reckoned with, a trusted colleague and friend.”
“Tony is a highly skilled, methodical and creative artworker with great design flair. He’s a darn good Studio Manager too! I have worked with him for many years and he’s never failed to impress – he has a fastidious attention to detail and works to exceptionally high standards. His design work is award winning and always beautifully crafted, his creative ability and approach combine to produce fantastic work for multiple clients. Tony is also very adept at interpreting CI guidelines to ensure work always meets the standards it should. He’s honest, trustworthy and his standard of work is quite simply, top notch. He will often (actually, nearly always) spot something others have missed.”
