A boutique creative design agency
For over 20 years we have been successfully delivering creative design agency services for niche luxury brands, ambitious start-ups and private clients worldwide. SO was founded in 2000 by Jo Stedman, whose passion for print design, high-quality materials and beautiful design naturally led SO into the realm of luxury brands.
Today, we offer carefully considered, bespoke marketing and luxury design solutions tailor-made to your needs. We strive to be strategic, smart and special. Working tirelessly to ensure exceptional quality of thought goes into everything we do, we take great pride in challenging both ourselves and the language of the design industry to produce work that consistently stands out.
Our creative design agency team has always been small – and that’s the way we want it. We only work with people we gel with and on projects we like, making for an open, more rewarding process and ultimately better results. It is this down-to-earth honesty and unpretentious approach that our clients love – and is the reason why 90% of our work comes from referrals.
SO’s creativity has been tapped into by royalty, UHNWI and family businesses across the world. But you don’t have to have a title, feel free to drop Jo an email to discuss your brand’s needs.
Small team, big talent
