Honest Studio
We are Honest Studio. An independent design studio crafting good honest ideas.
We are inspired by the idea of honesty, commitment and authenticity, something we can all believe in. Something that our clients can feel has truth in it. Work that has a joy to it, where the people creating it are doing it with love and putting their hearts into it.
We don’t choose style over substance. Or cool over useful. No fashionable nonsense. Instead, design made with craft and care. Ideas fuelled by open-hearted engagement.
Our experience has taken us on exciting journeys with clients across the cultural, heritage, education, charity and development sectors. Engaging audiences through branding, campaigns, exhibitions, editorial design, signage, websites… you name it and we’ve done it.
We believe in design, its beauty and its power to inspire change. Work that has a sense of purpose.
