Sophie O’Connor is an award-winning designer and certified brand strategist based in Manchester, UK.






Biography
I’ve spent 20 years working with global agencies and brands from Landor to Mother London, the BBC and Virgin Media, honing my craft to make design thoughtful, intentional and anything but ordinary.

Now, I help risk takers and innovators cut through the noise with branding that is confident, impactful and built to last. Bringing clarity, precision and a deep respect for the story behind every brand.

When I’m not deep in client work, you’ll find me dancing in the kitchen with my kids to Disco and Drum n Bass, or crafting typographic posters that pack the same euphoric punch. Go check them out in my shop.
