Who we are...
From our studio based in Chelmsford, Essex, all communication from initial project briefing right through to delivering the completed artwork is carried out by Dan himself to ensure continuity and the highest standard of personal service.
The Designer...
Truly bespoke graphic design services
DSD’s founder, Dan Summers, is an independent graphic design professional. After five years of developing his diverse skill set with several design agencies, Dan decided to set up his own agency and DSD was formed in 2009. Even with over twenty years experience, it’s still a case of who you see is who you actually get!
DSD provides a bespoke design service to all clients, from small start-ups to well-established businesses. Dan creates strong brands that will get your organisation noticed and your marketing messages communicated. He treats all clients fairly and believes they should be able to benefit from well-designed artwork and marketing support materials without paying excessively high fees. Unlike many online design services, Dan’s creative output for his clients is well and truly made-to-measure!
Dan is as happy designing for estate agents, insurance brokers and natural therapies as he is designing for motorsport, leisure & entertainment and social media. With this breadth of design experience, Dan often brings the intangible to life and hence his ability to visualise clients’ ideas and concepts and turn them into real and desirable images and brands.
Where we are…
Studio-based graphic design services
Based in Chelmsford, awarded City status in 2012 and county town of Essex, DSD is perfectly located for clients to visit to discuss new projects, work on existing items or just pop in for a catch-up over a coffee in the fascinating surroundings of our creative design studio. DSD is within a stone’s throw of the iconic Essex County Cricket Ground with its lofty presence piercing the local skyline.
The current space is the third in the firm’s history and benefits from a City-centre location on the town side of New London Road within easy walking distance of the main car parks and Chelmsford’s vibrant shopping thoroughfares and diverse choice of eateries! With an eclectic mix of retro design items, a Manhattan-inspired feature wall and the clipboard Wall of Pride, the studio is an extension of Dan’s personality and a truly inspiring space for visitors to take in and enjoy!
Clients are actively encouraged to visit, with face-to-face interaction being hugely beneficial when it comes to defining the brief for a project, as well as being an environment that provides stimulation for fresh ideas and serious fun!
