Shoreditch Design

What Shoreditch Design does

Shoreditch Design (legal entity Shoreditch Design Studio Ltd.) is a privately held, founder-led creative agency founded in 2019 and headquartered in Shoreditch, London, with regional offices in Santa Monica and Melbourne. The firm delivers a full-stack creative offering across nine service lines: AI Design, Animated Video Production, Branding, Digital Product Design, Graphic Design, UI/UX, Web Design, Web Development, and ongoing Retainer support. Its technology stack combines standard creative tooling (Adobe Creative Cloud, Sketch, Figma, Webflow, WordPress, Shopify) with front-end frameworks (React, React Native, Angular) and back-end languages (Python, Java), while generative AI tooling (MidJourney, Firefly, Runway) is embedded into the AI Design service line for 3D asset creation, visual content, and campaign work. The agency's go-to-market is sales-led direct engagement (HubSpot-scheduled intro calls, email, phone), and revenue is generated through three pricing structures: per-project fixed-fee engagements, per-designer day rates (7.5 hours), and monthly subscription retainers for ongoing design support; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Shoreditch serves a hybrid customer base spanning early-stage startups, growth-stage companies, and enterprises such as Aviva, BrewDog, Oxford Properties, Protectivity, and NHS Virtually across verticals including fintech, healthcare, sports, SaaS, e-commerce, insurance, and AI/technology. No external funding rounds or parent ownership have been disclosed; the firm operates independently under Founder & CEO Andrew Burton with a team in the 11-50 employee band.
