The Studio Simple
Creative Directory
The place to find trusted creative support for your business
This isn’t a directory of random freelancers.
It’s a curated network of creatives who work from, or are closely connected to, our space. People we know, collaborate with, and trust to deliver.
If you need help with how your business looks, sounds, or shows up, you don’t need to trawl the internet or take a gamble. You can tap into a local network of designers, developers, marketers, writers, photographers and more, all vetted, all working in the real world, not hiding behind profiles.
These are the people sitting across the table, not across the globe.
You can meet them at our events, ask questions, sense-check ideas, and build relationships before you commit. No guesswork. Just solid creative support from people who are part of a growing creative community.
We keep the directory curated and up to date, and we actively connect businesses with the right creatives when they need them.
You will find collaborations and referrals are already rife amongst our members because helping each other helps businesses do better.
If you are a creative looking for support connection or space to get your work done then this is just one of the many benefits of choosing Studio Simple as you go to co-working space and creative community. Join us to see how it can positively impact you and your business.
To be apart of the the directory you must be a either a regular desk user or monthly desk member and or a regular attendee of our design friends meet-ups.

Edd Radcliffe Media
Strategic Media Consultant, helping complex organisations bridge the gap between technical brilliance and human engagement.
I work with organisations in technology, engineering and life sciences where rigorous thinking often fails to reach the audiences it needs to move. Using the proprietary Technarrate™️ framework — a structured five-step methodology — the work spans strategic diagnosis, media strategy, creative direction, and production through to team enablement and self-sufficiency.
