About us

We are a Manchester-based graphic design studio with a focus on design for cultural heritage, architecture, exhibition design and narrative-led experiences. We work alongside architects, exhibition designers, artists, illustrators and content producers to create meaningful and original spaces and places. 

In all our work we seek to find inventive and engaging ways of communicating messages and experiences. We believe content and form are intrinsically linked and that the very best designs are borne out of collaborative partnerships sharing common goals and aspirations.
