About Us

Get to know us better
Hello!
Welome to D237

WE ARE A COLLECTIVE OF DESIGNERS, CREATIVES AND BRANDING SPECIALISTS WITH AN EYE FOR DETAIL, A PASSION FOR CREATIVITY AND A DEDICATION TO SERVICE.

We are a boutique agency, built on recommendations from happy clients extending to work for the likes of Ben Sherman, NHS and various projects for the London 2012 Olympic Games. Our ethos, however, remains the same; close, personal relationships with clients, taking our time to understand specific briefs and successfully realise brands.

We are a team of quality, not quantity. We offer the personal bespoke service that you only find in high end boutiques. So please feel free to drop us a line or drop in for a chat to begin the tailoring process. In the meantime, please take a look through our work and see what we can offer.

Meet the A-team
Art Director

Ahmed Akasha

Founder of D237. Highly experienced and versatile creative lead with 14 years experience. A self confessed teaholic and music snob.

Photographer

Mikaela Westerholm

Half woman, half machine, Mikaela is our resident photographer with immense experience and alarming focus once in the zone.

Digital Producer

Zak Akhimien

An undercover nerd whose expertise for web design and digital marketing is only equalled by his encyclopaedic knowledge of American episodic dramas.

Video Producer

Dennis Morrison

We’re not allowed to disclose how experienced Dennis is, so not to give away his age. Affectionately known as a D-pedia for his incredible knowledge on anything related to technology and production.

Graphic Designer

Samantha Cheung

When Sam isn’t creating graphic design gold or being a superstar, she can be found on any online gaming platform kicking serious butt.

Project Manager

Abdul Mohamed

The brains behind some of your favourite high street store’s merchandising. The wittiest in-house drill sergeant any studio can wish for.

Graphic Designer

Teresa Fryxell

A typography addict whose love of lettering means no malleable object or substance is save from being formed into a typeface. Not a lover of tea or the cold.

Marketing and Brand Development

Richard Goddard

Co-Founder of Asabaako, an annual music festival in Ghana, Richard is a visionary who makes time to develop brand and marketing strategies for clients in between office lectures on gender equality and philosophy.

“We love working with .237. They’re passionate about design, passionate about their clients. They truly know how to interpret a brief and will go to the ends of the earth to make sure they deliver exactly what we want (and more!). And, to top it all, they’re incredibly nice people so doing business with them is always a great pleasure.”
Janine Irons, Managing Director, Dune Music

“..they would often supply us with artwork which captured the marketing message and spoke to our core audiences in clear, concise & creative manner. Suffice to say I would have no hesitation in working with or recommending them in the future.”

Natasha Anderson, Communications Manager, Barbican London

“We received a recommendation to use D237 and I can see why – Ahmed and the team were fantastic to deal with. As a small charity with a tight budget and even tighter design deadline, we knew we were asking for a lot, but they exceeded our expectations for the design of two publications. They were so friendly and approachable and understood our brief, so we had complete confidence in working with them. We have received compliments on their design work and so will look to use D237 again in the future.”
Vikki Elliott, Deputy Director of Outreach and Involvement, The Koestler Trust

“D237 provide a great, personal service, and are equally as comfortable on both the design and technical aspects. We’ve been using them for several years and have been very happy.”
Minnie Crowe, Company Director, TriForce Promotions
