Design Director
We worked with Spilsbury to create a suite of textures by printing, rubbing and inking everything from hay bales to fence posts and industrial machinery.
Simon's illustrations bounce off the names of the beers, which are all inspired by the farm and everything that happens on it.
One of the biggest challenges was to create a sense of play and a nod to education, without it feeling too naive or 'primary school'.
Supple Studio and Studio Spilsbury collaborated on a refreshed brand identity for Somer Valley Brewing, a Bath-based farm brewery. The design draws inspiration from the farm’s landscape, using real-world textures, earthy colors, and playful illustrations by Simon Spilsbury to convey authenticity and storytelling. The new system spans packaging, merchandise, and glassware, positioning the brewery distinctively in the crowded craft beer market.
Supple Studio and Mud collaborated on a full rebrand and website for NVB, an architectural firm specializing in educational spaces. The new identity uses modular shapes, a custom typeface, and a bright yellow palette to balance playfulness with technical expertise. Mud translated the brand into a digital experience featuring interactive, puzzle-inspired elements that reflect NVB’s creative approach to learning environments.
