Who are we?

In 1992 my partner and I, both honours degree graduates in graphic design, returned from London after five years working at leading design agencies. Having worked on prestigious projects for international companies such as Marks & Spencer, National Power, British Airways, and The Ford Motor Co. we left for Devon with the skills and experience to set up our own design business - Thorn Tree Design in Sidmouth (my home town).


What do we offer?

Thorn Tree Design can offer elegant design solutions which address a range of marketing and communication challenges for organisations both large and small - design solutions that not only look good, but have also been proven to work effectively, meet our customers’ goals and help them grow and prosper.

We offer a full range of design services, including:

• Corporate identity
• Brochures
• Leaflets
• Posters
• Folders
• Advertising
• Direct mail
• Newsletters
• Exhibition, Banners and Displays
• Packaging
• Labels and stickers
• Web site design


How do we operate?

Thorn Tree Design can take responsibility for every stage of your project through to delivery of the finished article. Typically starting with an initial meeting, specification suggestions and cost estimates, followed by rough ideas for discussion, and then finished visuals for approval. We then produce final artwork, and commission from a pool of proven freelance talent for specialist areas of work such as photography, copy writing, and illustration as required. For printed products, carefully selected suppliers are commissioned to obtain optimum results, ensuring attention to detail throughout. Where appropriate, we will be pleased to liaise with the customer’s own preferred suppliers.


Why choose us?

Thorn Tree Design has many years of experience solving customers marketing challenges for clients from all spheres of service and industry. Because we are small, overheads are low and fees can be kept realistic. Customers deal directly with the designer so a clear understanding of their business and a close personal working relationship can develop. We can also help in defining your objectives, and advise on the best way to achieve them within your budget.

We take pride in providing a reliable, highly professional and efficient service - and once a customer has experienced working with us they invariably remain with us over the long-term, returning again to meet their changing design and communication needs as their organisation develops.
