Sophie O’Connor is an award-winning designer and certified brand strategist based in Manchester, UK.
Meet the Founder
Over the past 20 years, I’ve worked with creative powerhouses like Landor, Saatchi & Saatchi, Mother London, the BBC, and Boots—all known for big budgets and even bigger expectations. That experience wired me for design that’s anything but ordinary.
The work that lights me up? The brands that stand for something, the ones that have meaning.
Now, I partner with risk-takers and innovators to build branding that’s confident, impactful and built to last. It’s not just about looking good—it’s clarity with precision, simplicity with substance and a deep respect for the story behind every brand. I’m for brands that don’t need to shout. I craft quiet intensity that draws you in.
When I’m not deep in client work, you’ll find me dancing in the kitchen with my kids to Disco and Drum & Bass, or crafting typographic posters that hit with the same euphoric punch. Go check them out in my shop.
