I’m Ian Pierce.
I’ve been making things for nearly 25 years – from brands and identities to websites, campaigns and films.
I’ve worked with start-ups, established businesses and global brands, and spent a good part of my career leading creative teams.
Studio Pierce is my small, independent creative studio. I work directly with clients to figure things out, make good work and make it as good as it can be.
WHAT I MAKE
Brands
Strategy, positioning, identity and the systems that bring them to life.
Digital
Websites, digital design, motion and social.
Creative
Art direction, campaigns, packaging, editorial and whatever else the idea needs.
HOW I WORK
Every project is different
I start by listening, asking questions and getting stuck into the problem. Then I explore ideas from different angles before focusing on what feels right.
I work directly with clients throughout – keeping things open, collaborative and hands-on.
Understand the problem. Find the idea. Make the thing.
Beyond client work
I’ve always been interested in making things.
Design happened to be the thing I turned into a career, but I’m interested in much more than design.
Photography, film, typography, architecture, music, art, AI – and the strange places where they overlap.
I’m still making things when nobody has asked me to. Sometimes they’re photographs. Sometimes they’re films. Sometimes they’re AI experiments that never become anything.
I like following an idea and seeing where it takes me.
