Grow Creative is a one person design studio in London, running since 2005. Websites mostly, and they are the thing I am best at, but also identity, digital design, and working out what a business should be saying before anyone opens a design tool. 21 years, no account managers.

No agency, no studio floor, no team of people you never meet. Just me, and I have been doing this for 21 years.
I design things. A lot of them are websites, and websites are the deepest thing I do, but the job has never really been "make a website". It has been working out what someone is trying to say, deciding what form that should take, and then making the thing properly.
Being one person means the same head does the strategy, the design and the build. Nothing gets lost in a handover, because there is not one. It also means I am honest about capacity, and I will tell you when something is outside what I should be doing.
Custom WordPress built from scratch, then hosted and looked after afterwards. The jewel in the crown, and the reason most people call.
Identity, interface, social and email assets, digital artwork. The screen based work that is not a website.
Copy, art direction, and deciding what the thing should say in the first place. Usually the part that saves the most money.

Websites are the part I have gone deepest on, so they get their own section with proper detail and published prices. I work almost exclusively in WordPress, which is a deliberate choice: knowing one thing thoroughly beats knowing six adequately, particularly at two in the morning when a plugin update has taken a site down.

A partial directory listing. Some of these are still live, some have been rebuilt since, and a couple belong to businesses that no longer exist, which is what happens over 21 years.

No ticket system. No call centre. No hold music. You email me and I reply, usually the same working day, and it is me replying rather than someone reading from a script.
Whether it is a whole website, an identity that has drifted, or just a nagging sense that the thing you have is not saying what you mean, tell me what you have got. I will tell you honestly whether it is worth doing and whether I am the right person to do it.
