Ashgrove Studio (sample) has made identities, websites and campaigns for independent companies in Springfield and beyond since 2014.
We started as two designers sharing a desk at the print works on Foundry Yard. We still work above it, and we still check every job on paper before it goes out (sample).
Nine people is big enough to design, write and build a whole brand, and small enough that the person you meet is the person doing the work.
Four habits that shape every job, whatever its size.
We design on the bag, the sign and the phone screen, not on a white board with a logo floating in the middle.
The person who takes your brief presents every proof and hands over the files.
Every job and every change outside the brief gets a written estimate first.
You get every source file, and fonts and photos are licensed in your name.

We are on the first floor of an old print works by the canal, five minutes from the tram. Come in for a first meeting; the coffee is from a client.
Send a short brief: what you make, who it is for and when you need it. We reply within two working days (sample).
