An independent design studio
Matt and Wendy are the designers and directors of Stride Studio, a UK-based creative powerhouse.
A husband and wife team with over twenty years of shared experience, they craft creative projects for brands across diverse sectors, including arts and culture, the built environment and hospitality.
Their clients value strong ideas, exceptional quality, and a design-driven aesthetic.
Two years ago I was introduced to the Stride team and have never looked back. From our initial branding to menu design to producing our shiny new website! Everyone is so easy to deal with and nothing is too much trouble.
