We love our new Canons Wharf website! AD’s support throughout was friendly and approachable. He was always happy to jump on a call to talk things through which made the whole process really easy. We were keen to work with a local designer for the project and AD’s creative approach gave the website a true Bristol feel. The end result is exactly what we hoped for. Thank you!

We recently worked with Andrew at Styles studio to produce a fully interactive web based platform for Canons Wharf. He was an absolute pleasure to work with, delivered a fantastic platform, and nothing was ever too much trouble. Looking forward to continue working together on other projects.

Andrew has done a superb job for us with both our logo redesign and website. We wanted to work with someone who understood where we were at with our business and what we needed a new website and rebrand to do for us as we grow. Andrew got our ethos straight away and came up with some fantastic ideas. We’re delighted with the outcome and would recommend him highly.

AD has recently redesigned the logo for BDP’s Creative Communities project – an arts programme for people with lived experience of drugs and alcohol. Working with AD has been stress free and enjoyable and we absolutely love what he’s created! He’s a good listener, easy to work with, and crucially is respectful and able to take feedback from our service users. I would highly recommend working with AD on design projects. Thank you!

I was looking for a web designer who could give me a very creative, modern and clean looking composer website and AD delivered the brief impeccably! I have had the website now for about 8 years and AD has provided all the updates, hosting and support needed. Students from Leeds Conservatoire have informed me that my website is often used as an example to students of a well designed composer website.
