Happy New Year to you all! I hope you’ve enjoyed the holidays and are now back refreshed.
I had an amazing time in Egypt with my partner. We were in Luxor visiting the Valley of the Kings and guess what I saw deep inside the tomb of Ramses III? The Egypt Exploration Society logo that we designed many years ago – I was so excited and proud to see it on the board with other sponsors.
After Luxor, we went to Cairo and visited the newly opened Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM). I was inspired by the stunning architecture and, needless to say, the priceless artefacts on display. If you’re a museum lover like me, put GEM on your bucket list! Meanwhile in London, my colleague Miguel was taking it easy and enjoying the city’s festive vibes after a busy 2025. But now here we are, back fully energised to take on 2026 with vigour!
As we start this new year, I can’t help but to reflect on our work in 2025. We’re truly honoured to have collaborated with so many loyal and new clients in the UK and Europe. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for putting your trust in us. In 2026 we remain fully committed to delivering exceptional service and innovative design solutions for you.
Good graphic design should make a big impact on your publications. Well-structured, creative design helps tell your stories, explain key facts and figures, and communicate the humanity behind your organisation. Of course, this is only possible if your design agency takes the time to understand the purpose of your organisation. By getting to know you at the start of a project we can ensure we will communicate your key messages creatively and effectively. Here are three examples which demonstrate how we’ve supported our clients to bring their stories to life.
1. A clear narrative for Conciliation Resources
Conciliation Resources is committed to stopping violent conflict and building more peaceful communities, employing 80 people in 20 countries. For its 30th anniversary we were asked to create a report showing the full impact of the organisation over the last three decades.
To simplify this complex narrative we introduced a continuous timeline highlighting breakthroughs in the charity’s history. The content was structured by region to show geographical reach. We designed maps and charts to sit alongside bold photography to humanise these stories.
The client told us that they appreciated our flexibility and fresh ideas as well as our interpretation of their brief for this very important report.

2. Accessible infographics for ISCC
The International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC) supports businesses to transition to a circular economy by setting sustainability standards for a wide range of sectors.
ISCC is driving real, measurable impact on ecosystems, people and the planet and we were asked to demonstrate this in its 2025 Impact Report. We worked hard to make complex information accessible using infographics including charts, graphs, icons and maps.
As well as appreciating our creative approach, our client told us they valued our responsiveness and availability throughout the entire duration of the project.

3. Showing humanity for Spurgeons
Spurgeons is a charity which helps children, families and carers through a range of services including education, social care, maintenance, vocational training and financial assistance. We collaborated with the client to develop a design that fully captures the organisation’s empathy, enthusiasm and warmth. We addressed this through colour, typography and photography.
The annual report features a red ribbon that flows across every page to represent family ties, while action-based photography shows Spurgeons’ positive impact on the children and adults it supports.
Our client told us they particularly appreciated that we were able to guide them through the design process, turning what could have been a stressful experience into a smooth and enjoyable one.
