The Studio
We work with businesses that want things done properly — and with people who value a long-term relationship over a quick transaction.
A Design & Marketing Studio, based in Belper, Derbyshire.
Stylistic was founded in 2003. In the years since, the studio has grown quietly and deliberately — building capability across creative design, digital development, applications and marketing without ever losing sight of what matters most.
The work.
And the people we do it for.
We are a small team with a broad range of skills. Designers who understand development. Developers who understand design. People who care about the businesses they work with and take pride in what they produce.
That combination
creative thinking, technical capability and a real commitment to getting things right — is what shapes everything that leaves this studio.

Every project starts with a conversation. Not a brief — a conversation about where the business is, where it’s heading and what actually needs to change.
[How we work]
From there the process is straightforward. We stay close throughout. We communicate clearly and honestly. We make decisions together at the right moment and we don’t disappear when the job is done.
Many of the businesses we work with have been with us for years. Some for over a decade. That kind of relationship only happens when the work is good and the trust is real. We don’t take either lightly.
People we've worked with
Over twenty years we’ve worked with businesses of every kind — from ambitious independents to some of the world’s most recognised organisations.
A steady team, on your side
You’ll work with a team that’s calm under pressure, design-led in thinking and practical in delivery. We guide the process, communicate clearly and build platforms you can rely on.
