Beyond Conference & Beyond Studio
THE BRIEF
BEYOND is a leading annual two-day conference exploring the creative economy, developed by Beyond Studio in partnership with the Arts and Humanities Research Council, the British Council, and other key organisations. For two years running (2023–24), I was commissioned to design a suite of display materials, alongside a refreshed website and an outcomes report that captured the event’s insights and impact.
THE WORK
Working alongside the Beyond Studio team, I created a series of assets, building on their bold and contemporary brand whilst also testing new approaches to stretch their identity. I produced a series of promotional displays and materials along with a report, drawing on engaging and bold data visualisation.
I was also invited to lead the rebrand of Beyond Studio, following the international success of their flagship event, the Beyond Conference. The conference has become a major platform, attracting funders, innovators, entrepreneurs, policymakers, and leading experts from across the creative industries. Building on this momentum, I was tasked with rebranding the agency as Beyond Studio, creating a clearer brand architecture that aligns with their growing reputation.
In preparation for Beyond Conference 2025, I also designed the logo for the newly launched Emerging Innovators Awards, celebrating diverse young talent in creative research.
