Come on in, we’ll get the kettle on.

We create beautiful websites, printed material, brands, videos and (most importantly) coffee.

Ink & Water is a full-service design studio, specialising in branding, website development, print design and video production.

We’re a team of eight (if you count the dog) and call Sheffield our home – Kelham Island to be specific. We also run an independent coffee shop just up the hill, in West One.

We’re a pretty down-to-earth bunch. We don’t do pretentious and we don’t do esoteric; just great design at a fair price, from friendly, hard working people.

Our clients are a mixed bag of charities, musicians, universities, local businesses, PLCs and public sector organisations. Anyone and everyone is welcome. In particular, we love working with clients over the long term – helping them develop their brand over time as trends change, new markets open up and fresh challenges arise. You can take a look at some of our work here.

In a previous life, Simon has served coffee at Starbucks, auditioned for Busted and sported a shock of long hair. Times have changed, but at least there’s still coffee.

Being a co-founder of Ink & Water, Rob has been around for a while. Unlike his car, which seems to change every six months due to misfortune or misadventure.

Rumour has it that Tom is made up of 84% Yorkshire Tea. When he’s not sipping on another brew, our in-house philosopher can be found knee-deep in responsive design.

After a long day coding amazing websites, Paul likes to relax by watching grown men knock seven bells out of each other on an ice rink. Don’t mess.

We’re pretty sure that Bess is the only bookkeeper ever to have supported Justin Beiber on an arena tour. Our resident number cruncher and part time superstar.

As well as keeping a beady eye on any food sources in the studio, Dylan is always eager to say hello and make any visitors feel welcome. Free hugs all round.
