Who we are
↪
We are Studio Glass, an independent creative agency on the Dorset coast. We traded the hustle and bustle of London for the dream of starting a seaside design studio. Here, we dedicate more time to fewer projects, ensuring each one drives creative, commercial and cultural impact. Our goal is to be a disruptor, partnering with people, products and places that share our same vision.

Nicola Carass
CEO, The New Forest
We commissioned a rebrand and redesign of our Discover Guide based on the brilliant work we have seen in the Pier Journal. I couldn't rate Studio Glass more highly and would recommend to any business owner who wants to work with conscientious people who are committed to over delivering on the brief.

Our approach
↪
We extend beyond creating a strong design aesthetic; we define your brand's purpose. Through in-depth strategy and impactful design, we communicate complex ideas with clarity.
01 Discover
Every project begins with a workshop to gain a clear understanding of your goals, challenges and context. We combine these insights with sector and cultural research, and summarise the findings into a focused document that guides the rest of the process.
02 Define
Grounded in research, we develop a strategic direction that informs the design. This includes narrative frameworks, mood boards and reference materials that explore tone, personality and visual language–laying the foundation for all future creative work.
03 Design
With a clear direction in place, we begin to design. Whether building a brand identity, packaging system or digital experience, this stage brings ideas to life across real-world applications and digital experiences.
04 Deliver
Once the creative is finalised, we produce all deliverables and supporting guidelines to ensure consistency and flexibility. The result is work that’s built to last and ready to evolve with your business.
