We combine design, strategy and storytelling to build meaningful and memorable brands.
ABOUT US
How we do it
Our strategic approach involves collaborating closely with you to unlock what makes your brand exceptional and why it deserves attention. Our carefully considered solutions are designed to attract your ideal customer, tell your story effectively, and ultimately, grow your business.
We take a bespoke approach to each project with simplicity and attention to detail at the heart of what we do. We’re a small, independant studio, with a big network of industry experts, creatives and suppliers to collaborate with us when needed.
We create brands that are built to last. Whilst we love to keep up with the latest trends, our solutions are timeless and transformational.
Founder Story
For as long as I can remember, I've had a passion for both design and problem solving. If I wasn’t obsessing over print finishes, I could be found with my head in a logic problems book.
Fast forward, and it’s no surprise I combined my two passions to become a graphic designer. I started my career in branding and advertising before joining the design team at international drinks company, Halewood Artisanal Spirits.
Here I worked my way up to Head of Design, gaining invaluable insights into what it takes to create and grow a successful brand along the way. Brands I’ve worked with can be found on retail shelves and back bars worldwide.
In 2020, I founded Sip Studio. A creative studio on a mission to transform businesses with beautiful and meaningful branding and packaging.
I’ve seen first-hand the positive effect carefully considered branding can have on business growth and I now use my wealth of knowledge and expertise to help people like you create successful brands.
Beyond my love for design, I'm passionate about business development. As a business owner myself, I understand the challenges of running a successful business.
I love the freedom, balance and purpose having my own business brings to my life and I thrive off helping others grow their businesses.
Sustainability
I’ve always been a big hater of waste and I’m passionate about the protection of our planet. This ethos carries over into my work at Sip Studio, where we are dedicated to helping our clients make sustainable choices. Whether that’s helping you find the perfect recycled paper stock, low-impact bottle, or eco-friendly printers. We are committed to keeping up with the latest sustainable practices. As a business, we strive to eliminate waste, choose low-impact options, and use recycled materials whenever possible.
OUR VALUES
Simplicity
We love to keep things simple in everything we do, from our processes to the brands we create. Embracing simplicity means focusing on what truly matters and stripping away unnecessary elements. We streamline workflows and eliminate unnecessary steps to create your brand in the most simple, efficient and enjoyable way.
Respect
We believe in treating others the way we want to be treated. No BS. No egos. We approach every interaction with openness and honesty, fostering an environment where everyone's voice is heard and valued. Whether it’s collaborating with clients or engaging with partners, we believe mutual respect is key to meaningful relationships.
Transparency
We aim to be transparent about all areas of our business from our processes to our pricing. We aim to build valued and trusting relationships with our clients and believe that being transparent supports this.
Excellence
Excellence is at the heart of everything we do at Sip Studio. From the initial consultation to the final presentation, excellence defines our approach to crafting brands that stand out and make a lasting impact. We're committed to delivering nothing short of excellence in every project we undertake.
Empowerment
We’re all about building people up and helping them succeed. We love how having a brand that’s a true reflection of your business empowers you to show up with confidence, with pride and desperate to show it off.
“Kirsty is an absolute dream to work with. That might sound over the top but it’s true. Creating a brand is a really daunting prospect for a startup - the stakes are so incredibly high - you’re trusting someone with your money to create arguably the most important aspect of your business.”
