Established in 1999, Hands-on associates is a design consultancy offering a wide range of services embracing print-based and digital media. Based in Surrey, 35 miles from London, we have worked with clients in Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire, Liverpool, London, Staffordshire and Worcestershire.

We aim to help our clients communicate clearly through appropriate, cost effective design. By partnering them, to better understand their culture and needs, we aim to deliver work that:
embodies their corporate values
meets their business objectives
is sensitive to the intended audience’s needs
results in high quality information and marketing material.

Our portfolio demonstrates how we can help formulate the brief, develop the design proposals, manage production, oversee quality control, and coordinate delivery.

Occasionally, when we are not working on commercial work, we provide support for arts projects. The most recent was the City of Signs postgraduate research project at London College of Printing, which culminated in an exhibition in Istanbul.
