Design(ed) for good.

The design community has become increasingly focused on sustainability in recent years. At Ridgeline we take this thoughtful approach throughout our design process.

We don’t just create solutions to the brief, but actively seek out ways to make our designs and processes kinder to people and the planet.

About us

A brand, print & digital design studio.

Designer, Matthew Stone, and developer, Karl Shaddick established the partnership having successfully collaborated on several projects.

Working alongside trusted associates, they strive to create appealing and meaningful brands, coupled with purposeful print and digital communications.

Both Matt and Karl have been working in their own fields as independent designers or alongside creative agencies across the world.

Ridgeline Studio was created as a way to support the organisations and businesses working tirelessly to help others during the challenging time of Spring 2020, and to continue supporting those doing good into the future.

We operate as a satellite studio, enabling excellent value for money for our clients with a service second to none. Without costly overheads, we can provide brand strategy, design for print and website development, that can suit a range of budgets and briefs.

We have a conscience as designers to make the world a better place and bring about positive change, for both people and the planet.

Meet the Team

A happy partnership

Being a small agency, doing the right things, the right way; we more than deliver with our solutions to the brief.

I’ve worked with Matt at Ridgeline on numerous ShelterBox projects over the years and it’s always been a pleasure. He employs a great process (thoughtful, considered and attentive to your needs) to get you to the outcome you need. Cheers Matt, looking forward to our next project together.

We are beyond impressed with our beautifully illustrated postcards of Scilly’s special species, complete with carefully crafted poetry, which will be indispensable tools in our education and engagement programmes.

As well as being on-call volunteers with the team, Matt and Karl have done amazing things with the rebranding of every aspect of the search and rescue group. From web presence and social media to promotional materials and vehicle livery, the whole design concept has been developed from start to finish. With a solid plan to work to, the charity's trustees had a clear vision of where the project was heading and when the outputs would be delivered, all pro-bono. Thanks to them both we now have a slick, professional new brand that really supports the work we do.

It was a pleasure working with Ridgeline Studio. We appreciated the time spent beforehand listening to our needs and understanding the nature of our Community Interest Company and how we operate. The creativity that followed was excellent, meeting all our needs, beyond our expectations. The design and workmanship were excellent and feedback from everyone who accesses our service has been complimentary. Both were quick to respond to our needs and queries in a timely and professional manner, always on hand to support us. They followed through on all their promises and we have no hesitation in recommending both Matt and Karl.
