Aeroplane

Aeroplane was founded by Frosyni Bairaktari and Gareth Higham, two creatives who share the same commitment and values in design.

The Aeroplane journey started as an idea many years before taking physical form in a studio space in Hope Mill, a 200 year old listed Cotton Mill in the Ancoats district of Manchester.

Relationships-first has always been at the core of the business. The partners decided to start the client roster from scratch, in order to build a client base from mutual understanding. This worked well as the business still works with many of the original clients.

Work and time has given Aeroplane the experience to aim for excellence, stay relaxed in communications, while owning responsibility in delivering every project.

Frosyni Bairaktari
Partner

After studying Graphic Design at the Technological Educational Institute of Athens and working in the Greek capital, Frosyni decided to move to Manchester to pursue further studies. She achieved an MA in Design and Art Direction with interest and research on City Branding.

She has over 15 years of experience working with a variety of clients across the board and collaborates predominantly with the educational and hospitality sectors in the UK.

Frosyni’s main inspirations come from everyday life experiences, travels, arts and culture; which influence her creative thinking and approach.

Gareth Higham
Partner

Gareth graduated from the Liverpool School of Art & Design in 2024, laying the foundation for a dynamic 20-year career.

He has worked with a diverse range of clients, be it branding global hotel chains to creating digital projects for the National Health Service.

His passion for design, typography, and visual communication was sparked during his early travels to European cities and continues to be a significant influence on his work today.
