Great work starts with collaboration, we listen, shape and build together.
Stuart Lee Design is led by Stuart, a senior creative with over 25 years of experience.
Alongside him is a handpicked team of sharp-eyed creatives from diverse backgrounds, each bringing their own perspective and specialist skillset to the table.
Together, they have a knack for reading between the lines, uncovering the unexpected ideas, overlooked angles, and hidden gems that give your brand its edge.
We pair each project with the ideal designer, combining deep expertise and experience to deliver smart, effective solutions.

How we work
Our four step process ensures a clear brief and
well-planned process that meets your goals and budget.
Discovery
The discovery meeting is a key step where we get to know your business, brand, and goals. We’ll discuss what you’re looking to achieve, why now, and who you’re targeting, ensuring we fully understand the project.
We’ll meet at a time that suits you, either in person, online via Zoom, or at our Stroud office (the kettle’s always on!). After the meeting, we’ll send over a detailed quote covering all agreed costs, including any extras like photography or image licensing if needed.
Creation
Once the brief is finalsed, your designer crafts initial visuals with meticulous attention to detail.
This phase involves gathering information, exploring options, and presenting a selection that fits your needs, sometimes introducing fresh styles.
If you have existing brand guidelines, we’ll follow them; if not, we can help create a new look for your business.
Amends / Final Proofing
Once you have reviewed our initial proposals, we will provide a set of proofs for your careful consideration.
To ensure the final designs fully meet your expectations, we include one round of revisions within the project price. This allows you to request adjustments or refinements, giving you the opportunity to fine-tune the work until you are completely satisfied with the outcome.
Our goal is to deliver a final product that aligns perfectly with your vision and objectives.
Delivery
Once you’ve signed off the artwork, designs or images, we will supply either files for print or organise the print for you and arrange delivery to your chosen address.
If the project is an identity, we will supply all associated file types (.ia, .jpg, .eps) for use in all of your business requirements, from business cards to billboards, brochures to exhibition stands.
If your project requires a downloadable pdf or web graphic, we will hand over the file in a format necessary for the web upload.
Other things to consider
Here are some important considerations to
keep in mind for a successful project outcome.
Budgets
Print prices are always changing, but part of our role is to advise you on costs and come up with alternatives if the price is too high on printing. There will always be a number of options for weight of paper, varnishing and finish and our role includes this aspect of production.
Images and Usage
If there are particular stock images you are after we can try to source copyright free images, but if not there maybe a charge for these (range between £8.50 and £20). These images would then belong to you, and we don’t make money on their purchase (we’d use them in the capacity of design, but they are yours to use as you see fit).
Copyright
Images found online can help show your vision but are often copyrighted. If so, we’ll source alternatives you approve. There may be a licensing fee (e.g., Shutterstock), which we don’t profit from, we recommend you purchase the image for us to use under your direction.
Specific Font
If there is an unusual look and font that you’re after we will always try and source from a free site, but occasionally there is a charge. This is unusual though as there are many free fonts to choose from.
Additional Charges
Minimum 15 minute charge for additional amends – within your quote there will be allotted time for amends, but if this is exceeded there will be additional charges. You would always be informed if this was the case though, and given an estimate of time for the change to be made.
