DSD creates distinctive, effective logos and brand identities that stand out, deliver results for businesses today, and continue to perform long into the future. Every design is crafted to resonate with the client’s target audience and maximise the value of their investment.

The studio’s success is built on word of mouth, recommendations, and returning clients. Over the past five years, more than 70% of new design work has come from these trusted sources – something DSD is genuinely proud of.

Founded in 2009, DSD designs for clients across Essex and well beyond.

DSD’s founder, Dan Summers, is an independent graphic design professional who launched the agency in 2009 after five years working across several design studios. With over twenty years of experience, he remains hands-on with every project.

DSD offers a fully bespoke design service for start-ups through to established businesses. Dan builds strong, effective brands and believes high-quality design should be accessible without excessively high fees. Unlike many online services, his work is always tailored to each client.

His broad experience, from estate agents and insurance brokers to motorsport, leisure, and social media, allows him to turn clients’ ideas into clear, compelling visuals and memorable brands.
