Sophie took her time to understand my business and came up with a Logo that is fantastic. Very knowledgable in her field and extremely creative. It has been a pleasure working with her and I shall definitely be working with her on future projects.

read moreSOKA have just completed the design & launch of our new company website. A process that is complex and involved when it comes to a live website customers rely on. We asked Sophie to suggest a clean design for the new website, which looked modern and has an array of new features as well as representation of our company values. Sophie has come out with a design we all liked. We are very pleased with the results as well as the easy workflow throughout the process. Sophie has quick understanding of our business and design preferences so is now doing additional work for us! Highly recommended.

We always turn to SOKA for our design requirements from company van livery, presentation templates and now we are awaiting our freshly designed website to launch. We are pleased with all the work that has been done and look forward to continuing our journey with them.

read moreI have been working with Sophie and SOKA on the new branding of Head Office Salon & Barbers in Lincoln. Our salon has had a significant extension and redesign and we wanted our branding to showcase the aesthetic. I got in touch with SOKA after seeing their work on Instagram and other local companies they have worked with. From the moment I got in touch with them, they have been nothing but helpful, professional and friendly. Sophie has guided us every step of the way and nothing has been too much to ask. Unlike other companies we have worked with in the past, Sophie has designed all our marketing materials with little to no specification from us, and we have been incredibly happy with the outcome. From us being re-branded, we have also had all our marketing materials redesigned, our new signage designed, and will be looking to have a new website designed with SOKA in the near future. On behalf of Head Office, I just want to say a massive thank you to Sophie and all the team at SOKA. You have been amazing! We will definitely be recommending you and using you ourselves in the future.

read moreSOKA Studio gave the Centrum Group a complete design overhaul with new brand guidelines and templates. We have been more than satisfied with the work performed by SOKA and belive that the essence of Centrum Pile and our identity have both been captured brilliantly in our new design guidelines. SOKA carried out the task efficiently and with a great attention to detail. We now have the basis to properly market our business with sharp, professional marketing tools we did not have before. Therefore - I can only recommend SOKA Studio as a competent partner in rebranding and graphical design.

Kim Arnold

read moreSophie is a star of the design world! I've used her services for several years for my own branding, website and marketing materials. Everyone who sees my brand says it's 'me to a tee', which is exactly what you need in a good visual identity!

I've recommended her to many of my clients, big and small, who are equally happy customers! (And I'm very picky about who I recommend...) She's smart, listens carefully, challenges where needed and has a beautiful design aesthetic that fresh, clean and modern. Most importantly, she's wonderfully easy to work with, not precious about design and always delivers on time and on budget. Couldn't recommend Sophie and her team more.

Thank you so much SOKA!
I cannot recommend SOKA Studio enough. The team helped me design personalised business cards and Wedding Stationary.
Sophie went to great lengths to understand us and our needs and exceeded these in every aspect. The designs are without doubt some of the most appealing and better than we could have hoped for.

Soka built and designed a website for my comedy events company, including at a later date adding an online shop to sell tickets and my book. They were responsive when I needed updates to the site and I’m really pleased with the design, which I have carried through to my business cards and events posters - which they helped source quickly via their contacts in the printing industry.
