A fusion of creative thinking and technical expertise

We blend creative thinking with technical expertise to design websites, brands and digital products that help businesses grow. Whether we’re partnering with ambitious startups, established SMEs or supporting busy in-house marketing teams, we create thoughtful work that’s designed to make a lasting impact.

How we work

Chemical Design has remained intentionally lean since 2002. Rather than building a large agency, we’ve built a trusted network of experienced collaborators. For every project, we assemble the right team—from developers and UX designers to animators and specialists we’ve worked with for years. It means you benefit from the expertise of a full creative team without the overheads of a traditional agency. Lower running costs for us mean better value for you, without compromising on quality.

We’re based at Fareham Innovation Centre, working alongside a community of ambitious startups and established SMEs. It’s an environment built on collaboration, where ideas, knowledge and experience are shared every day. Before founding Chemical Design, our creative director worked at a leading London design agency, delivering work for major brands where expectations—and standards—were exceptionally high. Those principles continue to shape how we approach every project today.

Giving back

Supporting our local community has always been part of who we are. Over the years we’ve contributed our time and expertise to a range of community projects, while also offering internships to students from local schools and universities.

Rather than working on hypothetical briefs, our interns gain hands-on experience contributing to real client projects. Our commitment to developing emerging talent was recognised by Southampton University with its Greatest Preparation for Graduate Employment award.

Who we help

Most of our clients fall into one of two groups. We work with startups and SMEs that need websites, branding or digital products designed to solve real business challenges – not simply look good. We also support in-house marketing teams that need experienced creative and technical expertise without increasing headcount. Whether it’s design, development or ongoing digital support, we become an extension of your team. It’s an approach that’s led to long-term partnerships with clients including MCS and Verto Cloud.

Whether you’re launching something new or looking for extra support for your marketing team, we’d love to hear about your project.
