Pickles Design is the independent studio of husband and wife team Callum Morris and Laura Ansty. We work across brand identity, websites and software.

Between us, we have over twenty years of experience in technology, design, illustration and branding. Much of our work is for businesses in Chester, Cheshire and the North West, though we work with clients further afield who value our direct approach. We bring these skills together to create work that looks right, works well and helps your business move forward.
