Frequently Asked Questions
-
Yes. Digital product design is one of the studio's core disciplines. Vivier Studio works across the full journey from information architecture and user experience through to interface design and prototype development. Recent work includes designing client portals, integrating AI tool functionality, compliance-led UX, and development-ready Figma outputs. Whether you need a standalone product design engagement or design support as part of a broader brand build, the studio can help.
-
Yes. Vivier Studio regularly works with founders and early-stage businesses who are building something from the ground up and need strategic creative thinking alongside executional quality. The studio's Launch Kit engagement is specifically designed for this moment, helping founders establish a strong brand foundation, clear positioning, and a visual identity system before scaling. If you are pre-launch or in the early stages of growth, this is exactly the kind of work the studio was built for.
-
Vivier Studio is a London/UK-based creative studio working with clients across London and beyond. The studio operates remotely and has delivered work for UK, European, and international clients. Location is rarely a barrier. If you are based in London or elsewhere in the UK and are looking for a studio that combines strategic thinking with high-quality creative execution, we would love to hear from you.
-
The best starting point is a conversation. You can reach the studio directly through the contact page or by emailing stuart@vivierstudio.com.
From there, Stuart will get back to you quickly to arrange a short discovery call where you can talk through what you are trying to achieve and whether the studio is the right fit. Vivier Studio takes on a selective number of projects and partnerships each year to ensure every client gets the attention and quality of thinking they deserve. -
Vivier Studio operates across brand strategy, visual identity, digital product design, motion and video production, and ongoing creative partnership.
Core engagements include the Launch Kit, a structured three-phase brand identity programme for founders and growing businesses, and Creative Partnerships, a flexible retainer model for organisations that need consistent creative support without the overhead of an in-house team. The studio also takes on focused project work across design, content, and campaign activation. If you are unsure which engagement is right for you, get in touch and we can talk it through. -
The Launch Kit is Vivier Studio's flagship brand identity engagement, designed for founders and businesses that are ready to build a serious brand from the ground up. It runs across three structured phases covering strategy and positioning, visual identity design, and brand system delivery. The result is a complete, considered brand foundation including logo, colour, typography, visual language, and guidelines that give you everything you need to show up consistently and confidently. It is not a quick logo project. It is the strategic and creative infrastructure your business builds on.
-
Timelines vary depending on the scope and complexity of the engagement. A focused brand identity project typically runs across six to ten weeks from kick-off to final delivery. A digital product design engagement will depend on the number of screens, iterations, and stakeholder review cycles involved. Retainer partnerships are ongoing by nature. During your discovery call, Stuart will give you a realistic timeline based on your specific brief and any fixed deadlines you are working towards.
-
Vivier Studio works with founders, growing businesses, and internal teams at larger organisations who want strategic creative thinking rather than just execution. Clients tend to be at an inflection point, launching something new, repositioning an existing brand, or building a digital product that needs to work hard commercially. The studio is not the right fit for clients looking for the cheapest option. It is the right fit for clients who understand that design and strategy done well is one of the highest-return investments a business can make.
-
Yes. Creative Partnerships are a core part of how the studio works. This is a monthly retainer model where Vivier Studio functions as your outsourced creative department, providing consistent design, content, and creative direction support without the cost and commitment of hiring in-house. Retainers are structured around a defined monthly scope with clear deliverables, giving you predictability on both sides. If you have recurring creative needs and want a studio that knows your brand inside out, a Creative Partnership is worth exploring.
-
Brand strategy at Vivier Studio starts with understanding the business, not just the brief. That means getting under the skin of what you are building, who it is for, what makes it different, and what it needs to communicate to the people who matter most. From there, the studio develops a strategic foundation covering positioning, audience definition, tone of voice, and creative direction before a single visual decision is made. This ensures that everything that gets designed has a clear reason behind it rather than being driven by personal preference or trend.
-
Yes. Motion and video production is part of the studio's core offer. Vivier Studio produces brand films, social content, and campaign assets for clients who need high-quality video without the overhead of a full production agency. Work is approached with the same strategic lens as design, ensuring that every piece of content serves a clear purpose and sits coherently within the broader brand. If you need content that looks considered and performs well, this is something worth discussing.
-
Both. While much of the studio's project work is with founders and growing businesses, Vivier Studio also works directly with internal teams at larger organisations who need a trusted external creative partner on specific engagements. This includes regulated industries such as healthcare and pharmaceuticals where design rigour, compliance awareness, and stakeholder management are as important as visual quality. If you are an internal team looking for a studio that can operate professionally within a complex environment, the studio has direct experience of exactly that.
-
Project work is priced on a fixed-fee basis so you know exactly what you are committing to before work begins. Retainer partnerships are priced as a monthly fee invoiced in arrears. Pricing reflects the strategic and creative value of the output rather than being calculated purely on hours. Every engagement begins with a discovery conversation to make sure the scope is clearly defined and the investment is appropriate for what you need. Payment terms are typically fifty percent on commencement and fifty percent on completion for project work.
-
Yes. Stuart leads every engagement personally. Vivier Studio is deliberately structured so that the person you speak to in the discovery conversation is the same person doing the thinking and the work. There are no account managers or junior teams passing work down a chain. When specialist skills are required, such as illustration or specific production capabilities, Stuart will bring in trusted collaborators, but creative direction and strategic oversight remain with him throughout.
-
You do not need a fully formed brief to get in touch. A general sense of what you are trying to achieve and why is enough to start a conversation. The discovery call is designed to help you articulate the brief more clearly and for Stuart to understand whether the studio is the right fit. If you have a brief already prepared, even better. Either way, the first step is simply reaching out and starting the conversation.
-
Yes. If your project involves confidential information, sensitive business strategy, or proprietary product details, the studio is happy to sign a mutual NDA before any detailed discussions take place. This is standard practice for engagements involving unreleased products, commercially sensitive positioning work, or regulated industries. Just flag it when you get in touch and it can be arranged before the discovery call.
-
A traditional agency adds layers between you and the work. Account managers, creative directors, junior designers, and production teams all sit between the brief and the output. Vivier Studio removes those layers entirely. You work directly with Stuart, which means faster decisions, cleaner communication, and creative thinking that stays consistent from strategy through to final delivery. The studio combines the strategic capability you would expect from a senior agency with the agility and personal attention that only a focused independent studio can offer.
