Ahoy!

You've just discovered a new world.

A think tank with heart, a design consultancy creating intelligent eye candy for the mind, body and soul.

We are proud to be a multi-disciplinary, boutique studio, rooted in Suffolk, with an eye on the horizon.

From our Steamboat studios sur la mer, we welcome all design challenges, big or small.

As the premiere creative agency based in Felixstowe, we are passionate about breathing life into our client's stories in beautiful, unique and wonderous ways. Even if you're not sure what you're after or where to go with your project, we'd love to help you discover it's potential. Whatever your project may be, there is always a story to tell and we will handcraft that tale for you.

Every project we undertake is as individual as you, and as such demands a unique solution.

There are three things we will never compromise on;

quality

There is a pearl, sometimes buried deep, but present within every client's story. It's what can help stand you ahead of others, makes you unique and your story compelling. It is there to be discovered, yet is so often missed, sometimes by those inside the story, often by those looking in. This is usually due to people looking for their pearl where they think they put it. Makes sense! However, it is not always in the hiding place we expect to find it.

We listen closely to understand your story, then we dive deep to find exactly what it is that makes your message shine with a different quality. We then build something simple, spongeable and understandable around it...

integrity

..But don't be deceived, crystallising the complex into something simple is not an art everyone can achieve or make you want to care about. Did we mention..we can? In fact it is our super hero power.

We're a decent bunch. There are no catches, we deliver what we say we will and our natural state is to go above and beyond for our clients. We pride ourselves on the quality of our work and the honesty of our process. We don't use fancy, fluffy 'designer' language. We use real words that actually mean something to people. We believe in intelligent design from the inside out - not just doing a nice styling job, which misses the brief and doesn't work well in everyday use. 

joy

Whatever you spend hours each day doing should be rather joyous. As such, we endeavour to make every interaction and project fun and fulfilling. Brace yourself to become part of a hard-working but happy partnership that will never become a chore.

Whilst we are dandy working on our own, we do like to involve you throughout the process, keeping you updated and ensuring no joy withdrawal. This way you can stay chirpy and confident that we're on the right track and we get the very best inside information on the job.

Of course all these are just words. Anyone can make a website that claims such things. But the proof is in the pudding. And we love pudding. If you'd like to try one of ours, please drop us a line - we'll have tea and crumble and a jolly good chat about how we might help you!

what makes Steamboat different?

We humanise our work, imbuing each detail with emotion, heart, connection and engagement.
We deliver messages that are not only loud and clear, but sung by angels.

To do our job to a superior standard, it takes thought, care, empathy, hard work and brains, not just an eye for the yummy. We don't just style a solution, we solve problems from the ground up and design out failure. Styling comes later. We exceed your challenge, adding cherries on the top you never even knew you were hungry for.

who are we?

As designers we call on over 20 years of experience, including industries such as film, games, research & development, advertising and furniture & product design. We think this gives us an advantage - with the benefit of more perspective, comes informed clarity, unique ideation and fresh vision. And ultimately, this benefits you!

what makes us happy?

We are happiest creating the perfect answer to a challenging brief and then celebrating it with tea, cake and a seaside promenade. How spiffing! We also believe that laughter is the best medicine - unless you have a particularly stubborn ear infection..

what do we love?

We love all things arty and musical, our treehouse, and nature in all its glory - where we take much inspiration. Developing new relationships with super cool clients is also rather marvellous, where we can all have fun and produce something wonderful together.
