Our story
A studio for brands that refuse to blend in
Brand design
Thirteen years, told in three numbers
Years designing brands, products and sites from our studio in Bristol.
Projects launched for bold brands across the UK, Europe and North America.
Design awards won, each shared with a client who went bold.
We are 22 people working as one senior team per client. Fewer projects at a time means more attention on each, and it shows: 92% of our clients come back to us for a second project.
About Kitebound
A small studio, a long reach
Based in Bristol, building brands for teams across the UK, Europe and North America.
Our values
What we stand by
Unmistakable
If a logo, a screen or a campaign could belong to anyone, it isn't finished. We keep pushing until the work could only ever be yours.
Build to measure
We design things to be built, shipped and tested. After launch we read the numbers with your team and keep improving what real people actually use.
Senior hands
The people you meet on the first call are the people who make the work. No handovers to a junior team, no faces you only see at the final presentation.
Say it straight
Clear timelines and clear costs from the first proposal. Plain words in every session, so you always know where the project stands and why.
In their words
What partners say after launch
Priya Nair
Founder, Halo wireless headphones
“We were a small team with a good product. Kitebound made us look like the category leader, and pre-orders landed at three times our target.”
Marcus Bell
Head of Product, Verdant Bank
“No grand unveiling, just a working session every week. By launch our savers were calling the app calm, which was the whole brief.”
Sam Adeyemi
Co-founder, Pulse Run Club
“The motion kit turned every weekly run into an event. Our app finally felt alive, and the club doubled its membership in a single season.”
