Design for Islington businesses
Islington is small but dense. In the south, Clerkenwell has one of the highest concentrations of architects and design studios anywhere, plus furniture and lighting showrooms that host Clerkenwell Design Week each year. Around Old Street, the start-up cluster nicknamed Silicon Roundabout straddles the border with Hackney, full of software companies, agencies and co-working spaces. Farringdon, now on the Elizabeth line, ties it all to the City.
In an area full of designers, our role is usually to add capacity rather than replace anyone. Studios and practices bring us overflow or production work they would rather not do in-house:
- CAD drafting, floor plans and drawing clean-up from sketches or survey data
- 3D models and rendered visuals of furniture, lighting and interiors for showrooms and catalogues
- Presentation boards and project sheets for competitions and planning
- Product photography for furniture and lighting brands
Start-ups around Old Street need something different: a brand identity that can scale, an investor deck, app store graphics and website imagery. We supply logo files in SVG and PNG, a simple guidelines PDF and editable slide templates so founders can keep moving.
Further north, Angel and Upper Street make up a long, busy run of restaurants, bars, theatres and independent shops, and Highbury and Holloway bring Arsenal's Emirates Stadium and London Metropolitan University. Restaurants and venues want menus, posters and food photography; theatres want show artwork in many sizes. City St George's, University of London, and Moorfields Eye Hospital add academic and health work. Every design job is handled remotely from Mansfield at a fixed price agreed first. Photography is shot on location in Islington, with travel quoted before booking.

Frequently asked questions
Can you take on overflow CAD and rendering work for a Clerkenwell practice?
Yes. dijitul provides CAD drafting, drawing clean-up and 3D visuals at £45 an hour + VAT, working in DWG, DXF, SketchUp or Revit exports and returning files in the formats your team uses. We follow your layer standards and title blocks, and we never present the work as our own.
Do you photograph furniture and lighting for Islington showrooms?
We do. Product photography starts from £25 + VAT per image, and a half day on location from £295 + VAT for room sets. Lighting products need careful exposure so the fitting and its glow both read, and we supply cut-outs and styled shots for catalogues and websites.
Can you design a brand and pitch deck for an Old Street start-up?
Yes. A logo starts from £150 + VAT and a brand identity pack from £395 + VAT. Pitch decks are quoted per job or charged at £45 an hour + VAT, and we build them with master slides so the founders can update figures and slides between investor meetings.
