Painting an unloved Essex basketball court to transform it into a colourful, engaging work of art; promoting basketball, creating an inspiring space for people to connect, play and learn new skills
I’m Gareth Roberts, an advocate of the power of simplicity and the positive effects of colour on the human soul. I appreciate the big Ideas, and the little details. I graduated in Design from the Norwich School of Art & Design (now NUA) in 2004. I’m a native of the Midlands but I’ve lived and worked in both London and Essex since then. I have worked professionally in some of the UK’s biggest ans most respected design agencies with globally recognised brands such as Coca-Cola,Cadbury’s/Kraft, Beisdorf, Bacardi and Tesco up to and including Design Director level, This combined with a continued life-long love affair with basketball (which I played at an International youth level), alongside the simple desire to put a smile on people’s faces, This project: In-the-Paint is where my love for both the beautiful game of basketball and design converge, and is brought to realisation.
