Saint Nicolas is a family-led creative studio based in Nuneaton, Warwickshire. Since 2012, we’ve partnered with ambitious brands to create thoughtful identities, engaging websites and motion-led experiences across the Midlands, throughout the UK, and beyond.
Saint Nicolas is a small family design studio. We work with and for businesses of all shapes and sizes from bedroom start-ups to large global businesses.
We've been at it since 2012. In that time we've designed logos, packaging, websites, brochures, books, album covers, stationery suites and the print and digital work in between for businesses in Nuneaton, across the Midlands, around the UK, and into over 20 countries.
The projects vary wildly. The way we approach them doesn't. Every project gets the same four phases, the same written scope, the same level of attention. Big brand or small flyer, the bar holds.
I'm Nicolas. I've been designing for businesses, small, large, local, international for over two decades. Saint Nicolas is the studio I started in 2012 through building up an array of great local and worldwide clients that relied on me to produce their graphics and digital requirements.
Before Saint Nicolas I worked in-house at various design and marketing departments for some of the UK's largest businesses, where I learned to craft my skills.
The Saint Nicolas studio is built a concept of friendly & approachable design services taking my clients on the design journey together. If you brief Saint Nicolas, you're briefing me. If you give feedback, I'm reading it. Let's work together.
Whatever you bring us, six things stay constant across every project.
One designer makes every meaningful decision. Whatever is delivered, I made it.
The scope, deliverables, timeline and revision rounds are all in writing before any work starts. The estimate is the brief.
We test designs in the contexts they'll actually live in — favicon, signage, social, dieline — not in isolation on a screen.
We present two genuinely different routes — not three safe variations of one. The decision matters.
If the work isn't landing, we say so and reset. If we're not the right studio for the project, we say that too and try to point you somewhere better.
A design that doesn't survive its first print run, deploy or post-launch month isn't finished. The 30-day support window covers it.
The studio's in Nuneaton. The birthplace of George Eliot, halfway between Coventry and Leicester, a 90-minute train from London and twenty minutes from Birmingham. It's a deliberately unfashionable place to run a design studio from, which is part of why we like it.
We work in person with clients across the Midlands — Coventry, Birmingham, Leicester, Solihull, Rugby, Tamworth. And remotely with clients across the UK and internationally past projects have shipped into 20 countries.
We do online meet-ups and can schedule visits to your premises to discuss projects.
A small slice of recent and past clients — local Nuneaton businesses, growing UK teams, a couple of international names.
