A design studio in Bath, working with ambitious companies across the UK and beyond.
Bodkin is a brand and digital design studio based near Bath. We work across identity, websites, and digital products, with a way of working shaped by clarity, craft, and close collaboration.
We are a small, senior team, so the people you first speak to are the people who stay close to the work.
Who this is for
For local businesses who want design done properly, and wider teams who value a close working relationship.
Some of our clients are based in Bath, Bristol, and the South West. Others are further afield. What they tend to have in common is that they care about the quality of the work, and want more than a transactional agency relationship.
We work across brand, websites, and digital products for teams who see design as part of the business, not something added at the end.
Common problems
Where businesses often get stuck.
1
The current brand or website no longer reflects the quality of the company.
2
Internal teams are stretched, and the bigger creative decisions keep being pushed back.
3
The work has been split across too many people, so nothing feels properly joined up.
4
Previous agency support has felt either too lightweight or too distant.
What we do
Brand, websites, and digital products, developed with care and rigour.
Bodkin is deliberately small. You work directly with the people shaping the thinking and making the work. That keeps decisions sharper, communication clearer, and the end result more coherent.
