Wash Studio

Wash Studio is an independent creative strategy, branding and design practice that combines research, narrative thinking and design execution for organisations, places and brands. Its work spans brand positioning, visual identity, campaigns, digital experiences and communications designed to help clients articulate their purpose and connect with audiences.

The studio’s capabilities bring together strategy and making across multiple channels. Its work includes brand research and workshops, creative direction, identity systems and guidelines, website design and development, campaign development, digital and social content, and exhibition or environmental design. It also delivers destination and place branding, service design and co-design activity.

Through its dedicated film and motion unit, Wash Films, the team develops brand films, television commercials and documentary shorts. Film and motion services include production, photography, motion graphics, animation and 3D design, allowing moving-image work to sit alongside broader brand and campaign programmes.

Areas of work

Wash Studio works with clients across:

• Higher education, arts and culture, healthcare and non-profit organisations
• Automotive and mobility brands
• Public-sector and regional place-making initiatives
• Architecture, the built environment, food and beverage, and financial services

The studio collaborates with specialist makers, photographers, animators and architects when projects require a wider multidisciplinary team. This model supports work ranging from identity and digital collateral to spatial, experiential and film-led projects.

Selected work

Supported projects include Hyundai television advertising, undergraduate recruitment and testimonial campaigns for the University of Central Lancashire, the University of Sheffield’s “What if Sheffield?” campaign, and the values-led transformation of Manchester Museum undertaken with Artistry House Interiors. Other documented work includes brand development for Skyscanner and Dorset Tea; destination branding for Animate Preston and Worden Hall; and identity, publication and event work for the British Textile Biennial and Creative Lancashire.

Wash Studio also provides educational talks and participates in the Northern creative sector through industry gatherings and design-focused discussion.
