A studio built for brands
that mean business.

Lotta Design Co. is a Portsmouth-based brand and creative design studio. Led by Charlotte, with a hand-picked team of designers, illustrators, animators, photographers, and writers behind every project.

We work with ambitious businesses who know that great design isn't decoration. It's the difference between being overlooked and being sought after. From the strategic foundations to the finishing details that make people smile, we build brands that work as hard as you do.

What we do.

Service icon

Brand identity

Your logo is just the start. We dig into who you are, who you're for, and what sets you apart. Then we build an identity around it that does the selling before you open your mouth.

Service icon

Websites that work

Beautiful to look at, built to convert. We design and build on Squarespace, Wix, and custom platforms. Websites that reflect your brand and turn visitors into enquiries and sales.

Service icon

Illustration

Custom artwork that makes your brand impossible to replicate. Characters, icon sets, editorial pieces that really feel like yours.

Service icon

Packaging

Shelf-worthy and gift-worthy packaging that people reach for first.

Service icon

Photo & video

Product photography, headshots, explainer videos or content creation. Photo and video go hand in hand.

Service icon

Marketing & content

Strategy first that doesn't feel spammy. Copy, campaigns, and content to show what your company does.

The Lotta way, in three steps.

Step one
Discover — compass illustration

Discover

We get under the skin of your brand. Your audience, your ambitions, and what makes you the obvious choice. Workshops, the right questions, and a lot of listening. This is where the strategy that holds everything together gets built.

Step two
Design — hand drawing illustration

Design

Strategy becomes something you can see. We bring concepts to life, refine with your input, and make considered decisions at every turn. You're involved, informed, and always know where things stand.

Step three
Deliver — box illustration

Deliver

Everything handed over, neatly wrapped and ready to go. Files, guidelines, websites live with well structured folders and the knowledge and confidence to use them. It's the beginning of your brand doing what it's supposed to.

Good to know

Every project follows the same considered rhythm. Clear communication throughout, confident creative decisions at every stage, and absolutely no nasty surprises.

In good company.
