D-S-Design Wins Creative Design Studio of the Year 🎉

‍
I’m incredibly proud to share that D-S-Design has been awarded Creative Design Studio of the Year for the South West at the 2025/26 Prestige Awards — a huge honour that recognises creativity, consistency, and community impact across the region.

From a One-Person Studio to Regional Recognition

When I first launched D-S-Design, it was just me, my laptop, and a big dream. What began as a small creative venture run from home — alongside my part-time role at The Grosvenor Arms in Shaftesbury — has grown into a trusted design studio serving businesses, artists, and organisations across Dorset, Somerset, and Wiltshire.

Over the years, D-S-Design has delivered bespoke websites, crafted memorable branding and print design, and supported countless local businesses through graphic design, SEO setup, and social media management. Every project is a collaboration — combining creativity, strategy, and craftsmanship to help businesses grow confidently online.
