We’re excited to announce we’re working on another project with First Databank Europe, this time on one of their digital products.
Partnerships like this are exactly the kind of work we deliver, where we can put our health tech expertise to use on real-world propositions, and help ensure better patient care by delivering something that’s genuinely validated and tested with end users.
We’ll share more as the project progresses.
We’re proud to share that the Digital Playbook — the UK Government platform we design, build and manage for the Department for Business and Trade — has just launched a new AI offer and company directory, showcasing the UK’s leadership in healthcare AI and connecting international partners with the NHS trusts, academic institutions and companies driving it forward.
We’re proud to have three of our logo designs: Motics, Dedicate and Turtle Roll Rum featured in Patch:Work (1): Logo Archive, a beautiful new book from Offcuts. With so much conversation around digital and AI right now, there’s still something special about seeing your work in print, and this book is a genuinely stunning object. Thank you to Offcuts for including us, our clients for working with us and a big shout out to all the other brilliant studios and designers we’re proud to sit alongside.
We’re excited to share that Green Room, our digital concierge platform for sports organisers, was used by TEG Sports to manage matchday prep for the recent Arsenal v Betis fixture. Streamlining lineups, fixtures and communication to help bring greater efficiency to sports event operations.
We’re pleased to share that Studiomade has now completed our project with Confluence, a global leader in investment data management automation, delivering a communications engagement focused on improving efficiencies in collaboration within financial reporting.

We’re proud to share that we’ve just completed a project with Hunter Healthcare, designing Beacon, a new benchmarking platform planned to launch this year that helps healthcare organisations measure their performance against global peers and turn that insight into confident, coordinated action to improve patient care. Alongside creating important communities and global networks allowing knowledge share and improved efficiencies. See the case study here
We’ve just completed an exciting project with Aviva in the pension buy-out space, working across internal teams, trustees, Employee Benefit Consultants (EBCs) and administrators. A great project with real potential to bring forward transparency and efficiency across the sector.
We’re proud to share that we’ve just completed a project with First Databank (FDB), redesigning the clinical decision support experience within OptimiseRx — the prescribing guidance software used by GPs across the country — delivering a validated, scalable design system that helps clinicians act on critical guidance faster, with greater clarity and confidence.
We’re delighted to share that we’ve just completed Phase 2 of our ongoing work with Aviva, helping link members’ Defined Benefit and Defined Contribution pensions into one clear path to retirement. Building on our earlier Future State work, we delivered a fully validated prototype and design library, giving members a new way to see their pensions can work harder for them with, as Aviva’s Robert Pell put it, Studiomade continuing to “accelerate and improve the proposition design process.”
We’re pleased to share that our work with Broadridge on Investor Pulse has won a Nicsa NOVA Award for Industry Innovation in Technology.
The project reimagined a traditional PDF report as an interactive, data-rich digital experience. We transformed static investor data into dynamic visualisations and customisable analytics, enabling investors, asset managers and industry professionals to engage more deeply with insights and make better-informed decisions.

We have launched a new venture to market, Turtle Roll Rum – a unique d2c small-batch rum, with commercial strategy and investment from Unit 29 Ventures, and creative, brand and digital activation from Studiomade.

Our new article discusses why you need a design partner by your side: to support you with strategy, design, build, branding, launch and everything in between. Embarking on a new venture can be both exciting and daunting, and good design is needed at every step of the process. We can work with you from an early stage, taking an agile, iterative and collaborative approach, with frequent check-ins and milestones. People we work with (especially larger companies) are often surprised how fast, yet still thoroughly, progress can be made.
Broadridge is one of the world’s biggest fintech companies, with more than $6bn in revenues. It knew that asset managers were facing a complex range of challenges and wanted to create DistributionAI, a custom-made generative AI. Our work included UI, UX, support with logic and customer journey definition, and integration with Broadridge’s existing asset management platform. The result is an AI tool that gives leadership, strategy, product and sales teams the intelligence and insights they need to compete in a fast-paced, changing environment. Read the case study.
How can digital healthcare better serve older people? How can we go above and beyond accessibility guidelines? Our new report is packed with ideas and insights. Discover how optimising digital health tools for our ageing demographic can elevate society, the economy and your healthcare venture – and relieve pressure on the NHS.

Congratulations to GIG for its listing on the Euronext Amsterdam stock exchange today. It’s great to see this energy initiative growing its business. Interconnectors (big transmission cables that move energy between neighbouring countries) and interconnected grids are a key component in global energy strategies. They enable excess power, e.g. from wind and solar farms, to be traded and shared between countries so that renewable energy isn’t wasted and the power system is greener and more efficient. They can help to lower electricity supply prices for consumers. We provided the design support GIG needed to achieve the listing, creating the branding and designing and building its new digital presence.
“The digital template we’ve created is good for fund investors and compliant with the rules and is just one part of the end-to-end solution which provides the scale and automation companies are seeking.”

We are excited to announce that one of our most recent projects ‘Hearing Birdsong’ is going to be exhibited as part of the Design Museum’s ‘Future of Ageing’ exhibition.
‘Hearing Birdsong’ is a digital product designed for people to screen themselves for hearing loss in the comfort of their own homes and is a concept created by Tom Woods, co-founder of Kennedy Woods, a practice that creates positive social impact through user-centred design & architecture. The project is being funded by the Design Age Institute.
Our role in this project has been creative and digital partner – designing, illustrating and developing the working digital prototype that will be active as part of ongoing user testing, and showcased at the ‘Future of Ageing’ exhibition.
Practitioners, researchers, engineers, designers and people with hearing loss have all helped to get Hearing Birdsong to a stage of delivering a working prototype which we are all very excited about.

The global population is continuing to age, with the pace of ageing increasing rapidly. In 2019, the United Nations’ World Population Prospects report projected that by 2030, the number of people aged 60 and over will rise by 38 per cent, from 1 billion to 1.4 billion. Globally, this age group will outnumber youth, and the increase will be greatest and fastest in the developing world – a very hot topic, and one that is a priority for countries across the globe.
We are proud to have launched a thought leadership campaign on behalf of Healthcare UK and the government that frames this global issue and discovers points of action. Read more in the case study.
Continuing our partnership work with both Edelman and Nissan, our colour-centric motion campaign has been released across EMEA. View the press release or read more in-depth information in our case study.
