What a treat to have Chris Sands of Totally Locally in the studio recently.

Placement designer, photographer, a strong history in graphic design in the music industry and an all round nice guy!

Local Scarborough folks will have seen his recent project work as part of This Is Scarborough and Coble Market

Helloooooo! 👋

Don’t worry, we’re still here - we’ve just been busy! Charlotte has been working on some great projects with the likes of Bell Structural, Anglo American, Cloudsands, Weston Hotel and Scarborough Fair to name a few.

David has been in full music photographer mode for the summer, covering events for Cuffe & Taylor, Live Nation, Forest Live and North Yorkshire Council. There’s been brand work, headshots and of course virtual tours to keep him on his toes.

We won’t leave it as long next time, promise!

Awkward selfie alert (honestly, you wouldn’t think David takes photos for a living)!

But anyway… It was great to have Geoff and Katie in the studio recently, both from Yorkshire Coast Connections HQ.

Geoff running his business Yorkshire Coast Accounting and Business Advisors Ltd, and Katie with KO Socials.

We love meeting and connecting with business owners and creatives alike 😃

Charlotte, what is a brand in under 14 seconds? It'd be less but David loves his coffee (and interrupting) ☕️

With threads like this he fits in perfectly to the space.

Cringe worthy videos incoming! 👀

Let’s talk books. We’ve got them. Lots of them!

We’ve collected many over the years, from vintage penguin (because we all love a Penguin crime book cover), to in-depth design, brand and photography. Discover DixonBaxi, Pentagram and more.

The studio is here to inspire and nurture creativity and the books play a huge part in that. If you’re addicted to the scroll, put the phone down and explore like we used to!

You got Charlotte Middleton Design to thank for almost all of these books. As a working graphic designer they’re frequently used and the grounding for any project research.
