Who are we?
Openshaw Design is a small independent studio founded around 2002 by Lionel Openshaw, a graduate of Goldsmiths design programme. He works together on various projects with his partner Meena Khatwa – and also employs others, enabling the company to tackle projects of any scale or specialism.

Our Vision
We strive for the most creative and characterful solutions that address clients’ needs, and communicate well with their audiences. We believe that simple and effective design needn’t be boring – personality helps your project get noticed. We’re also passionately attentive to detail, colour, image and type.

Design is a good idea

We love creating work packed with accessible ideas, narrative and wit – which is conceptually rich first and fashionable second. Where possible, we also enjoy developing the content of projects – such as copy writing and editing, or naming a new brand. This is under- pinned by a keen interest in language and the written word.
