Nine disciplines, six hundred-odd projects, twelve years of building brand, web, print and packaging for ambitious teams. The shortlist starts below; the deep cuts live one click in.
Each page below is a real portfolio of recent work in that discipline, with the phase-by-phase process, typical turnaround, and an honest read on what's included. Most projects combine two or three of these.
Identity, marketing site and a 32-page prospectus for an architecture practice rebuilding its position from sole practitioner to mid-size studio.
Read the case study →Full brand identity, marketing site and a stationery suite for an independent estate agency repositioning around prime regional property.
Read the case study →Distillery brand, bottle and carton system, plus trade collateral — designed for the deli shelf first, the website second.
Read the case study →Café brand from logo to bag — identity, packaging, in-store collateral, and a launch campaign for Instagram that ran for six months unsupervised.
Read the case study →Identity and marketing site for an applied-research lab — geometric mark, content-led IA, and a 48-page annual report that doubled as a recruitment piece.
Read the case study →Imprint identity plus a six-title literary series — front, spine and back together, paperback, hardback and ebook variants for the whole season.
Read the case study →Saint Nicolas is a principal-led studio. You speak to the same designer in the kickoff, the presentation, the press-check and the launch — across every discipline above. The work doesn't pass through a junior pool, an offshore production line, or a "creative director" you'll never meet.
We've taken three separate projects to Nicolas over four years — a brand identity, then a website, then a packaging system as the business expanded. Every time, the work has landed at the level we needed and the conversation has stayed honest. The work itself is excellent. The lack of agency theatre is what made us come back.
Eight quick reads on how we work, who we work with, and what to expect. If yours isn't here, drop us a note at projects@saint-nicolas.co.uk and we'll come back the same working day.
We work across nine disciplines: logo and brand mark design, website design and build, packaging, brochures and booklets, stationery suites, flyers and posters, book covers, album covers, and Instagram and social design systems. Each has its own portfolio page on this site.
Most of our projects combine two or three of these — a logo paired with a website, a brand identity paired with a packaging system, a book cover paired with a series template. Start with whichever discipline matches your most pressing need and we'll be honest if the brief would be better split, sequenced, or bundled.
Every project is quoted bespoke against scope, complexity and turnaround. After a short discovery call you'll get a written estimate covering deliverables, milestones and timeline — all agreed before we start.
We don't publish day rates or package prices because every brief is genuinely different. A fair quote needs context, not a tariff. Send us a brief or just a couple of paragraphs about what you're trying to do and we'll come back with a written response within one working day.
It depends on the discipline. Roughly:
Stationery suites turn around in 2–4 weeks. Logos and flyers in 3–4 weeks. Brochures, book covers and album covers in 3–5 weeks. Packaging in 6–10 weeks, depending on print complexity. Websites in 8–12 weeks, end to end.
Each portfolio page above has a phase-by-phase breakdown for that specific discipline — when work is shown, when feedback is gathered, what's handed over at the end.
Yes — most of our work is for clients well outside Nuneaton. The studio is based here and we love the local work, but our recent projects have shipped to Birmingham, Coventry, London, Exeter, Bristol, Milan and beyond.
Discovery, presentations, refinement and handover all run smoothly over video for any client outside a comfortable drive. We'll happily travel for a kickoff or a press-check if it's useful — costs are quoted transparently, never marked up.
Yes. Around half of our projects are single-discipline — a logo on its own, a book cover on its own, a flyer on its own. The other half combine two or three disciplines into one bundled project.
The right shape depends on what you actually need, not what we'd prefer to sell. If a brief would be better split into two stages, or scaled back to what's essential right now, we'll say so.
We don't have a hard minimum. We take on standalone flyers, single-card stationery jobs and one-off cover commissions regularly — and we enjoy them.
The honest filter is whether we can do good work inside your budget. For very small briefs we'll sometimes recommend a template-led approach, or point you toward someone better suited, rather than do a half-job ourselves. We'd rather lose the project than ship work we don't stand behind.
Design always; production by negotiation.
For print work we supply press-ready artwork (PDF/X, native InDesign) to your printer and attend press-checks or proof rounds. We're happy to recommend trusted printers if you don't already have one. For websites we build on Webflow, WordPress or Astro by default, or hand off design files to your developer if you have one.
For specialist production we don't handle in-house — book printing, vinyl pressing, hot-foil finishes — we'll recommend trusted suppliers and stay involved through proofing and sign-off.
Yes. Every portfolio category page above has 6+ recent projects, and selected ones link out to full case studies with the brief, the constraint, the working files and the outcome.
If you'd like to see work in a specific sector that isn't represented here — food and drink, healthcare, real estate, publishing, hospitality, B2B SaaS — email us and we'll send relevant examples, including projects not posted publicly under NDA.
