Darren Firth, the original founder of Wearitwithpride (now known as WIWP) has managed the Brand and all its associated activities since its launch in 2003; from collaborative projects and promotions to full scale exhibitions and shows. Aside from these duties, Darren works as a Designer/Illustrator; and in his role as Snr Designer at Un.titled, has worked closely with brands such as Ben Sherman, Puma, Nike, Boxfresh, Lee Cooper and Clarks Originals.

Darrens personal work (under the name Keepsmesane) is an eclectic mix of preferred styles, and has been featured in numerous international publications and exhibitions.

He is a member and Co-Founder of the collective 'Sambuki Social', part of the Graphics team at the Royal Magazine and a regular contributor to Computer Arts and Lounge72.

A little addition by Stereohype:
Darren Firth is the button badge master himself – as we secretly call him when nobody watches – simply because he and his wearitwithpride project were one of the first to generate a global new wave of popularity of the humble button badge in this very new century. He is also co-editor/curator of the travelling exhibition and book 'Two Faced – The Changing Face of Portraiture' which was published by IdN in January 2007.
