Our ambition is simple; we want to create meaningful, effective design that is driven by passion and purpose – ours and yours.

In the studio

Driven by passion and purpose.

We care as much about your brand’s purpose and its reason for being, as its product or service. Really understanding your business, why it is different and why people want it, allows us to create considered, strategic design that not only looks fantastic but connects with your clients.

Every creative project starts with you telling us your story and then we’ll ask questions – lots of them! It is our job to find out what really makes you tick, to jump headfirst into your world and to understand your business goals and current challenges.


Tailored to you.

We don’t believe one size fits all. That’s why we don’t offer off-the-shelf design packages. We tailor our approach and process to suit you, creating a unique proposal that supports your business needs, timescales and budget.

Our experience covers brand strategy, brand identity, editorial design, digital design, campaigns, events, photography, art direction and more.

When needed, we work with the support of trusted collaborators, from photographers to animators, copywriters to developers. Collaborating with the right people at the right time gives the flexibility to deliver great work at great value for money.


Small by design.

We are small by design. Being small allows us to be more reactive, more collaborative and more available. We know it’s the little things that can make a big difference. We will work with you from the outset, to ensure we get the most out of your brief and build a meaningful relationship that lasts.

Meet the person.

Outset is creatively led by Sarah Knight, an award winning graphic designer with over 18 years’ experience shaping many well known brands here in the UK and globally. Strategic by nature and with an unwavering eye for detail, she will always bring deep thinking and a purpose led approach to every brief.
