Katy Maxwell | Founder & Director
Katy’s passion for paper and printed materials started at a young age when she pretended to work in a stationery shop. Since then, she loves nothing more than the buzz of receiving a new project brief to get her hands onto.
With an inspiring energy and discerning eye for detail, Katy prides herself on her tenacity, time management, and going above and beyond for her clients while keeping within budget. She can also handle any brief that is thrown at her – and openly welcomes the challenge!
Bringing over 15 years’ experience to the design table, Katy has led projects for companies including Knight Frank, Segro, Goodyear and KCOM. Having worked for leading design agencies in the South West, she has learned from the best and is delighted to deliver this level of experience and expertise to companies that make her proud to work with.
Katy has created the perfect blend of professionalism and friendliness in her team to give you expert advice, creativity, and the all-important dash of Studio Mix magic.
Included in the team are Liz, Jim, James, Katy, Anna, Becky, Zona, Katy, Charlie, Jacob, and Ben.
Liz | Creative Director
If Liz could tell her four-year-old self a fact about her future, it would be this: One day when you are all grown up, you will be chosen to redesign the logo and packaging for Postman Pat! Liz has also worked for Sylvanian Families (another reason to high-five her younger self), Warner Bros, Ericsson, The Royal Mint and Saab.
Colour, print, and design are just some of things in life that make Liz tick, making her a fabulous fit within the Studio Mix team. Give her a brochure to sink her creative power into or a set of infographics to design, and she’s off into the studio with a spring in her step. With her expert eye for colour, Liz has real flair for finding the perfect palette to complement a new brand design or refresh. She even has stacks of colour swatches at home to keep her inspired for the next project that comes knocking on the Studio Mix door. Liz prides herself on her clean, minimalist style and her keen eye for detail. She’s also incredibly organised and can spin plates quite spectacularly.
Anna | Head of PR
Anna sent her first press release by fax… gasp! She certainly knows her stuff when it comes to copywriting, marketing, PR and social media. She has worked in-house, at agencies and has freelanced in both B2B and consumer PR, generating national and international coverage for her clients, including Triodos, Sainsbury’s and National Grid. Anna brings her down-to-earth nature and PR wizardry to Studio Mix. She loves coming up with creative campaigns which span across different channels and writing copy that wows. Anna and Katy have worked together in various guises since 2005, so bring together a wealth of experience working on a number of brands and multi-channel campaigns.
