about
At first, there were two. Sarah and Tricia were a couple of creatives, both sharing a common design hub space. This opened the door for collaborations on numerous projects, sometimes with a joint goal, sometimes as client and designer. Fast forward 10 years to today when they join forces again, but this time bringing finely developed new skills to a brand new collaborative table. And better still, they've invited other carefully picked like-minded individuals to join their table to form an inspired collective. It's a combination that works. Very well.
"I had a creative background and good instincts."
With a career that included 15 years in arts management working for the likes of the Royal Academy and the Saatchi Gallery, Sarah also started and ran a successful jewellery design business before taking time out to do an MBA in 2013. Now she combines her natural entrepreneurial instincts and understanding of the arts with sound business principals to find creative solutions for arts and heritage organisations. Most recently her roles have included business development at St Paul's Hammersmith and supporting the Grade I* restoration project at St Mary Magdalene in Paddington.
"I've dipped my brush into all sorts of graphic palettes...
... from packaging and brand identity to brochures and all forms of digital marketing." For Tricia, it all started with her first job as junior designer at Loewys in South Kensington. This was the London office of the renowned Raymond Loewy, known for many iconic brands such as Lucky Strike, Coca Cola and Shell, plus in the early days of jet travel, Loewy developed branding for TWA and United Airlines. Having her own design business was always the goal - she quickly achieved that 3 years later and hasn't looked back, creating designs for a variety of clients over the years, including a small international airline... tipping her hat back to Raymond Loewy.
