We are Frank.
We use our graphic design superpowers to help you tell your story and get things done.
Frank was founded in 2003 by Andy Hall and Rick Webb. After a decade working at agencies on international FMCG brands their move was prompted by a desire to broaden creative horizons, get more hands-on with the entrepreneurial spirit, and help a more diverse range of people do a more diverse range of things. Our core team was completed by Lizzy Barnes in 2012 who joined after several years working in publishing design.
Our work covers a wide range of industries and styles. Our belief is that whilst the specifics of a design solution may vary according to context, the core principles of good design are universal and that a broad perspective yields the best results. Our approach is to be as collaborative as possible. We work with you, knowing that you understand your business better than we ever will, but that our skills and experience can ensure your insights are expressed effectively.
From simple flyers and internal communications material to complete brand identity programmes encompassing websites, packaging, brochures and more, we consider your needs as a whole and deliver rational, effective, characterful design using whatever medium is right for your message. In addition to outstanding creative design we can also manage all aspects of production and the on-going rollout of campaign and brand material, with a can-do attitude, fast response times and excellent attention to detail.
We’re a small studio – owned, led, and run by designers. This means everything we do is from a designer’s perspective, with no loss through translation. We do most things in-house, but if needed we can draw upon an extended network of regular collaborators including illustrators, filmmakers, photographers, web developers, copy writers and 3D designers.
We’ve been based in London’s Spitalfields for more than fifteen years, and are proud of our association with the area – it’s a constant source of inspiration, and occasional bemusement, as we see the fashions ebb and flow. Our favourite spot for a debriefing at the end of the day is just around the corner at The Pride of Spitalfields – the classic East End pub. Come and join us for a beer and a chat about your project!
