About
The Creative Canopy is an independent design studio based in Whitchurch, right on the North Shropshire and Cheshire borders.
We create branding, websites, print, and creative work for businesses that want to look professional while still feeling like themselves.
Most projects start with a conversation, a rough idea, or a business that’s outgrown where it started. Our role is helping shape that into something thoughtful, practical, and properly put together.
We mainly work with small businesses, independent brands, founders, and local businesses across Shropshire, Cheshire, the wider UK, and sometimes a bit further afield.
The studio
Independent studio. Collaborative by nature.
Cat
Director of Doodles & Deadlines
Founder, designer, and the person usually juggling branding, websites, print, social graphics, and about fourteen open tabs at once. Cat leads the creative side of the studio, turning ideas into thoughtful, practical design that still feels human and actually fits the business behind it.
Paul
Technical Wizard & AI Fanatic
Paul handles the technical side of the studio, from bespoke development and website functionality through to solving the bits that make everybody else quietly close their laptops and walk away. Calm, methodical, and usually the person fixing things while Cat opens another tab.
Maybel
Chief Barketing Officer
Maybel handles studio security, snack inspections, morale support, and loudly alerting the entire house to the dangerous arrival of delivery drivers. Usually found supervising from the nearest blanket or strategically positioned directly in the way.
How We work
We like to keep things clear, collaborative, and easy to follow. No confusing jargon, endless meetings, or wondering what’s happening next.
01
No getting passed between departments or stuck talking to someone who’s never actually touched the project.
02
Good design starts with understanding. We take time to properly understand your business before jumping straight in.
03
You’ll always know where things stand, what’s happening next, and when we need something from you along the way.
04
We care about work looking good, but it also needs to function properly, communicate clearly, and actually work for the business behind it.
The studio
Working with local businesses, independent brands, and good people both nearby and further afield.
