Welcome to our sketchbook
Here you can find our thoughts, works-in-progess, and what is happening behind the scenes at Noble Studio.
Join us on our journey of working and learning as a studio.
What the heck is a WAP?! (Wellness Action Plan)
Being a small team of six, we are in the unique position to be able to regularly support our team both in a team sense but also as individuals too. We’ve been implementing Wellness Action Plans and here are some of our learnings…
Noble Studio’s Workshops: A Closer Look
At Noble Studio we have had years of experience running workshops, many of which have taken on different shapes and forms, and achieved different goals. But we want to tell you more about how workshops could help you…
Depicting Diversity - Resources for Learning and Awareness
Sharing our EDI learning, and how to be more inclusive and representative in our illustration work. We share a personal design project which allowed us to practice illustrating a diverse set of characters. We also share links and resources from our research.

DEI - 5 Realisations
At Noble Studio, we regularly discuss and consider challenges of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in our work. It’s not always easy to get things the right first time, but it doesn’t mean it’s not worth trying. So we’ve noted 5 Realisations in our EDI journey so far…
Wellbeing At Work
When we talk about Care being a core value at Noble Studio, we reference several types of care - care for the quality of our design work, care for our clients, and care for our team.
Learning about Radical Candor & our first 360 studio review
Earlier this year we embarked on our first 360 review, and so feedback is in the air. Aware of how toxic 360 reviews can be, we wanted to approach this in a collaborative and sensitive way. Here is where Radical Candor came in.
Why Process is Everything
We’re big believers in the fact that a smooth project process, where everyone is on the same page throughout, helps to dodge mishaps, avoid misunderstandings and swerve overspends. (Trust us, we speak from experience.)
Coming in Hot… Heat Pumps, We’re Big Fans!
As the drive towards sustainable and more affordable ways to heat our homes becomes increasingly urgent, we’ve noticed a rise in comms and campaigns promoting the Heat Pumps.
When Words Meet Pictures: The Value of Copy in Design
Chatting to experienced copywriter Jess Turner who we have been lucky to work with over the last year or so, and finding out from her why copy is so important!
Our Co-Design Journey Part 1: Impressions of Lambeth
We’ve been supporting our friends at Lambeth Council in the rebranding and relaunching of its Housing Repairs Services. But we didn’t want the transformation to be all about us, or even all about Lambeth. We wanted it to be rooted in the community it serves and the people who rely on it the most.
