We support businesses that care

Houghton.Works is a design agency that specialises in well planned, clear and effective design right from conception through to go-live or publication. We help start-ups to find their feet and well-established brands find a fresh and innovative perspective. We are both experienced and enthusiastic and work closely with our clients to produce visually impactful content that is always backed by scrupulous market research and careful reasoning.

Based in Surrey, we are composed of a core team of designers. Whenever the project requires it, we collaborate with a curated circle of tried and tested specialist partners ­­— web developers, copywriters, illustrators and videographers to name a few. This agile approach enables us to meet a broad range of client requirements whilst keeping overheads low.

We’ve worked with brands that are local, national and international, so wherever you are based, we would love to hear more about your plans and ambitions.

Award winning designers

Will Houghton

Will is an experienced creative director, who is passionate about creating first grade experiences that are as high performing as they are visually appealing.

He is familiar working within and also leading design teams, as well as liaising directly with Product Managers and other stakeholders. Whether that’s to deliver MVP’s at speed or complex design systems, Will is confident working at early discovery stages through design workshops and wireframing, right through to testing an established product with prototyping for A/B testing.

Jay Way

Jay is a graphic designer and creative communicator whose approach is research-led; his aim is always to get under the skin of the brief and create empathy with the subject matter and audience.

Design should not simply ‘look nice’; it must have relevance, purpose and substance, and ideally it should connect with its audience on an emotional as well as a rational level.

He is proud to be a member of the International Society of Typographic Designers, having achieved a Commendation in the ISTD Assessment.

Oli Shone

Oli is a highly motivated creative designer. He specialises in product design, but with a more classic graphic design background, his skills are multi-disciplined and he is as comfortable laying out screens of a mobile app, as he is forming a set of brand guidelines.

Strategy and logic are at the core of everything Oli produces, as he takes digital products from journey mapping to elegant user interactions or establishes brand stories.
