Design Hoist strikes a balance between independent focus and studio-level capability. We bring the flexibility of a freelancer without the 'take any project on' mindset—and the strategy of a small agency without the overhead.

Our core services reflect the skills and experience of Kev Price, but saying 'we' is deliberate. Some projects may involve trusted partners and collaborators, and we see clients as part of that team too. After all, no one knows your business better than you—which is why your input is central to everything we create together. So, we consider your involvement, and your insight in that 'we' also.

Guildford, in the heart of the Surrey Hills. Design Hoist proudly operates from a home studio, because great design comes from ideas, not office space. Clients have never minded—in fact, it simply means unnecessary overheads aren’t built into our pricing.

We primarily work with clients across the UK but occasionally further afield. We work work mainly with small to medium businesses who have a passion for what they do (alongside occassional collaborations with bigger agencies). Design Hoist has helped independent consultants to multi-million pound businesses. If you are passionate about your brand presence as we are about design, get in touch!

The work shown here is just a sample—some past projects can’t be shared (due to confidentiality). When it comes to brand identity design, we can create for anyone. Great creative work is grounded in research and a careful balance of being both appropriate and distinctive. We’ll study your competitors and craft a brand identity that stands out, resonates with your audience, and elevates you above the rest.

A strong brand starts with its visuals — and to succeed, you need to make the right impression. That’s where we come in. From distinctive brand identities to client-focused websites, marketing assets, and interactive eBooks, we create designs that not only look great but deliver real results.

We work on many one-off projects, but what we really like is building relationships where we can make the most impact over time. For clients we've helped with branding and/or a website, we love to continue supporting the growth and health of their brand over time (we're still working with one client some 10+ years later).

Absolutely! We can refresh your current site while improving its design, functionality, and performance.

Once an agreement is in place, early stages usually start within a few weeks. Most brand and website projects can take 1–3 months. Every project gets the focus it deserves. We always love hearing about new exciting projects.

Simply fill out our form or send over an email! We’ll discuss your needs, see if we're a good fit and create a plan to work on your project.
