A curious and playful creative collective, using design to accelerate positive change for people and the planet.
We believe in amplifying social and environmental causes through considered design, using play and collaboration with our clients to create impactful visuals. Our clients trust us to be bold in our approach to conveying their vital data and messaging, often joining us on a journey of considered risk-taking that leads to new and dynamic solutions.
We’re super passionate about supporting impact-driven organisations at every level from grassroots change-makers and fledgling social startups, to larger third sector bodies, think tanks and research institutes.
Our Ethos
Our strong values shape everything we do; whether that’s how we communicate with our clients or how we look after each other as a team. And we seem to be doing something right, because our collaborative, playful and reflective way of working has brought many happy clients back to us again and again, while our creative and caring culture means our lovely team sticks together and sticks around.

What Our Clients Say
“Noble Studio were (and are, as we keep on using them!) a dream to work with. From helping us to think through what we needed, all the way through to the beautiful final results, the team are warm, professional, creative and responsive. Having a clear visual identity for the NetZero2050 series brought us far-reaching benefits in terms of helping to unify work from different parts of the organization - and the fact that the ‘look’ was so appealing definitely helped. We’d recommend them without hesitation!”
Erica Hope, European Climate Foundation
“We worked with Lindsay to rebrand our organization and what Noble Studios delivered was just what we needed. They gave us a brand that kept continuity with the past but allowed our purpose, impact and new direction to shine through. Their experience in the social impact space made them the ideal partners. The creative and strategic nature of the studio really is unparalleled. “
Shannon Hopkins, RootedGood
“Lindsay and the team at Noble Studio have been extraordinarily creative, ferociously organised, and unfailingly patient with us whilst we’ve worked together on a new visual identity and a website to match. It isn’t easy to understand the personality of a social enterprise like The Curiosity Society, but Noble Studio made it seem easy and turned it into a visual language that says who we are. This is the kind of insight that is rare, and worth holding on to when you find it. We won’t be going anywhere else.”
Chris Wood, The Curiosity Society
“Once again I asked Noble Studio to design something for me and once again they have aced it.”
Nathan Oxley, STEPS
“The team at Noble are remarkable, and we feel very grateful to have had them as a partner on several projects over the last few years. They have brought our research to life and made it more accessible and engaging. We have particularly appreciated their passion and expertise for understanding and communicating complex and sensitive human rights and child labour issues in way that meets the needs of multiple stakeholders including investors, companies, civil society and other partners we work with. They have consistently gone above and beyond to make each project a success, and we have found their workshops and consistent communication particularly helpful. “
Quintin Lake - CEO & Co-Founder Fifty Eight
“I have found working with Noble Studio to be a pleasure and a revelation. A pleasure as client relations and project management are excellent, from always being treated with respect and courtesy, to having all outcomes delivered to deadline. A revelation as the products always reflect us but are surprising in that they do so better than we could imagine. Noble Studio not only expresses us better than we could ourselves, but has also given us an identity that is holistic, direct and straightforward, which clearly communicates both what we do and why we do it.”
Rebecca Shaw, Just Housing Group
“We loved working with you all and this whole process has been a blast, thank you so much for all your enthusiasm, patience, and dedication once again.”
Ana Oliveira, Zero Waste Europe
What Our Team Say
“Having been with the studio for almost 8 years, I sometimes get asked whether I’m fed up or bored of staying in the same place for so long. The honest answer is the combination of a warm, welcoming family of a team, and constantly varied and interesting projects would make me a fool to leave. Learning new skills along the way to help expand the capabilities of the studio only increases the intrigue of meeting a new client. Plus the rest of the team love cake, so I’m right where I want to be.”
Rob
“I love being a part of the Noble team, because it feels like one big supportive family where big ideas and aspirations are encouraged, and everyone shares the core value that design should be used to make the world a happier and healthier place.”
Immy
“While the projects we do at Noble Studio are positively change-making, so too is our intentional working culture. It’s radical and refreshing to be part of.”
