Based in Manchester, England with a team headed up by Creative Director Chris Edmunds, United Creatives offer bespoke services for projects large and small in the fields of print, screen and spatial environment. Collaborating closely with our clients (hence our agency name) our work spans the micro to the macro ranging from carefully thought through drinks labels to brands for buildings and entire urban quarters. We work across the sectors of luxury, regeneration, food, drink, property, fashion, architecture and the arts.

In addition to our love for design for print, which encompasses a host of techniques such as vintage letterpress, large format, litho, flexo and silkscreen, we also work with a broader set of mediums that sees us go far beyond traditional paper and ink. 

Our work strives to challenge the role of graphic design within the public realm. We have invented a genre of design and a technique we call ‘environmental branding’ with past projects executed in a wide range of specialist materials including compressed concrete, kiln-fired vitreous enamel, machine etched brass, slate and sustainable timber. Large format murals, narratives in cast iron and laser-cut and illustrated corten steel are as much a part of our repertoire as a printed sheet.

Our design approach has been influenced by the early grounding in Dutch design of our Creative Director and the adoption of a non-compartmentalised approach to design which has given rise to more flexibility and creativity when compared to the English model. The translation of the English word 'designer' into the Dutch is 'vormgever’, this literally means 'giver of form', a term not assigned to any one medium.
