Studio of Dave is built around a direct, one-to-one way of working. In most cases, you’ll work with me personally throughout the project, benefiting from consistent creative direction and a close collaborative partnership. Based in Brighton, I work with businesses throughout Sussex, Surrey, across the UK and beyond, operating remotely as easily as in person. For larger projects, I collaborate with a trusted network of specialist partners, carefully assembled to provide the right expertise while keeping communication clear, collaboration close and accountability in one place.
With more than two decades of experience in branding, graphic design and visual communications, I’ve helped businesses define who they are, how they communicate and how they connect with their audiences. My work spans everything from brand strategy and visual identity design to website design and development, campaign development and creative consultancy. Over the course of my career I’ve worked across hospitality, retail, lifestyle, leisure, property and international consumer brands, helping businesses of all sizes develop clearer, more consistent brand experiences.
What matters most is creating work that is both creatively distinctive and commercially effective. Every project begins by understanding the challenge, defining what matters and developing an approach that feels clear, consistent and purposeful. Through close collaboration and thoughtful design, the goal is always the same: to create brands that connect with people and stand the test of time.

Good branding begins with understanding. Whether you’re launching a new business or evolving an existing one, the workbook is designed to help you ask better questions and make more confident branding decisions.
It’s the same starting point I use at the beginning of every Studio of Dave project. Through a series of guided exercises, it helps you clarify your purpose, define your positioning and build stronger foundations before moving into design.

Transparent by design
Clear communication is an important part of every project. Before work begins, every project is broken down into a defined scope, estimated time requirements and a realistic schedule, so you know what’s being delivered, how long it’s likely to take and how costs have been calculated.
Where third-party services are involved — such as website hosting, printing, photography, software subscriptions or media spend — those costs are charged directly by the supplier wherever possible, giving you full visibility of where your budget is being invested. The focus is always on recommending the right solution for the project, not creating unnecessary layers of cost.
Whether you’re investing in a logo, a website or a complete brand strategy, the process remains the same: clear communication, transparent pricing and realistic expectations from day one.
Studio of Dave is built on the belief that the best creative work comes from clear thinking, close collaboration and a genuine understanding of the people behind the business. If that sounds like the kind of partnership you’re looking for, I’d love to hear your story.
