About —
Stop taking things so personally. Never got that one.

Being told something can’t be done is another. A red rag to a bull right? Being told that there isn’t the time, the money, the resource. Challenge accepted.

Let’s go against that grain. Let’s go all in. Let’s take things to heart, to create brands, products and projects to love.

The downside of that is, it doesn’t really scale. So you end up saying No a lot. But when you say Yes; it’s magic.

Founded in 2012, Bwtîc* is a small design practice working closely with a short list of clients, and a growing number of collaborators, to deliver tailored communication expertise.

*Bwtîc is a Welsh translation of the word boutique and is pronounced much the same, although it has been known to cause confusion, most notably… ‘Hello, are you Paul from Buttock?’.

Address —
Bwtîc is now fully remote.

If you’d like to meet up, or send something by post, please do get in touch.
