We craft brands and websites that connect people and organisations.
Our close knit team of designers and developers turns bold ideas into reality.We’re Design Thing, an independent creative studio with over 30 years of experience. Our process has been refined through years of experience, learning, and pushing boundaries. With a growing team of talented creatives, we’ve tackled projects both big and small, across all industries and mediums. We craft work that is eye-catching, strategic, and tailored to each client. Every project is an opportunity to push limits, make an impact, and create design that doesn’t just exist—it commands attention. Our work isn’t just about looking good; it moves people, sparks thought, and helps brands carve out their place in the world.
Inside the studio
Stuart Rodwell
DirectorStu focuses on guiding the team, shaping strategy and making sure great ideas make it over the line. As one of the company directors, he spends his time in meetings, on calls and steering projects from a strategic level, keeping everything running smoothly behind the scenes. A creative at heart, he still finds time outside of work for photography, filmmaking and YouTube.
Sam Bishop
DirectorWith over 15 years in the industry, Sam focuses on guiding the team and making sure the technical side of things runs smoothly. Once deep in development and marketing, he now spends his time quoting, planning and keeping the ball rolling. Outside of work, you’ll usually find him out on a run or spending time with his dog, recharging for whatever comes next.
Alex Vickers
Lead DeveloperBringing designs to life. Alex was the first team member at Design Thing and, over ten years later, is now our Lead Frontend Developer. He works closely with designers and clients alike, turning ideas into beautiful, functional websites that work as smoothly as they look. Outside the studio, he’s either lacing up for a long run or tinkering with code and new tools to keep his skills sharp.
Oliver Smith
Senior DesignerGetting inside the minds of clients and turning their ideas into striking logos, websites and brochures, Oliver brings care to every project, breathing life into even the most tired of brands. With a dry sense of humour that has the team in stitches, he’s a natural fit for the office. Outside the studio, he spends his time making music, exploring the outdoors, and keeping up with his two kids.
Jack Keys
Senior DesignerDesigning brands with character and purpose. From identities and websites to social media. He’s at his happiest when things are clean, considered and built to last. When Jack's not designing, he’s usually hopping on a plane, roaming the countryside or chasing a sunset. Based in Folkestone, Kent (far from the team’s Essex studio), he proves great design knows no county lines.
Lisa Prewer
AccountsKeeping the numbers and websites in check. Lisa heads up our accounts department, making sure we all get paid on time… which is why we try to stay on her good side. She also manages hosting and domain renewals for clients, keeping their websites running smoothly. Outside work, she’s usually spending time with her dog or keeping life organized at home.
