A small studio on a cold coast.
We started Cold Coast in 2019 after a decade in larger agencies, to work directly with the people who own the business.
There are two of us. One draws letters and marks; the other builds layouts and websites. Between us we handle a project from the first visit to the last proof, and bring in photographers, signwriters and printers we have worked with for years.
We take on six to eight projects a year. Most clients are within a ferry ride, though we happily work by post and video call.
We do not run advertising campaigns, manage social media or enter awards. We make the things a small business uses every day and try to make them last.
