Design studio for brands, packaging & the web

Ebbridge, UK

Brand by Mara.Web by Kit.

Mara Renshaw · identity & packaging

Logos, labels and print that can survive a muddy field, a crowded shelf and a fifth reprint.

Kit Rowan · websites & words

Sites that load fast and sentences that sound like you on a good day. Built by hand, edited twice.

Two partners, one desk, no account managers. You talk to the people drawing and writing your work.

One studio where two disciplines meet in the middle.

“I want the mark to work at the size of a wristband.” — Mara

“And I want the button to say what it does.” — Kit

Most projects start with both of us at the table. Mara leads anything you can hold; Kit leads anything you can click or read. The bit in the middle, where a brand turns into a website, is where we argue most and where your work gets better.

Four things we do well, priced before we start.

Every project gets a written scope, a fixed fee and a named lead partner. The other partner reviews every stage.

Three stages, both partners at every review.

  1. A long first chat

    An hour on a call or at the studio. We leave with a one-page brief you sign off.

  2. Two routes, one table

    Mara and Kit each bring a route. You see the reasoning, not just the pictures.

  3. Built, printed, handed over

    Files, guidelines and a site you can run. We stay on call for a month.

“Mara fixed the logo in an afternoon; Kit fixed our website in a week. Having both in one room meant nothing got lost between them.”Priya Lund, director, Off Beat festival
