The studio
Ashgrove Studio (sample) has made identities, websites and campaigns for independent companies in Springfield and beyond since 2014.
Small on purpose
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.
What we believe
Four habits that shape every job, whatever its size.
Start with the real thing
We design on the bag, the sign and the phone screen, not on a white board with a logo floating in the middle.
One lead, start to finish
The person who takes your brief presents every proof and hands over the files.
Prices before work
Every job and every change outside the brief gets a written estimate first.
Files you own
You get every source file, and fonts and photos are licensed in your name.
