Home / Loughborough
Loughborough is twenty minutes up the A6 from the studio, and there is Steve's work in the town you can go and stand in front of — the Rhondama sign on the trading estate, and the literature in Francis & Gaye Jewellers on the High Street.

Proof, not promises
Real names, real towns. Every one of these is work Steve did himself, and several are written up in full on the case studies page.
Loughborough in particular
Most designers ask you to take their portfolio on trust. In Loughborough you can go and check. The Rhondama sign is on the front of their unit, and the aftercare literature in Francis & Gaye on the High Street came off the same desk.

The difference
Most agencies put an account manager between you and the person doing the work. There isn't one here, because there is only Steve.
The person who takes your brief is the person setting the type three weeks later. Nothing gets handed down to a junior at the point it gets interesting.
Bleed, trim, spot versus process, and which idea dies on an uncoated stock. Files land at your printer right the first time.
Twenty minutes up the A6, which makes a site visit for signage or a press check entirely normal. You can meet him, and he answers his own phone when you ring about it.
In their words
“Steve took the brief and produced a set of designs across all marketing formats, from socials to print materials, that exceeded all expectations. He's a pleasure to work with but more importantly, he produces high quality work.”
“He worked with us to understand the scope, offered advice, utilised our colours and branding and produced work that showcased our company fantastically — leading to both enquiries and sales.”
