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 a consistent creative vision and a close collaborative partnership. 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 across branding, digital 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 identity design to websites, campaigns and content, across sectors including hospitality, leisure, retail and lifestyle, among others.
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 building a solution 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.
Free brand discovery workbook
Good branding begins with understanding.
This practical workbook is 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.
Whether you’re launching a new business or evolving an existing one, it’s designed to help you ask better questions and make more confident branding decisions.
Transparent by design
Clear communication is an important part of every project. Before work begins, projects are 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.
Every project is different, but the aim is always the same: clear advice, transparent pricing and a straightforward working relationship from start to finish.
