What we do

For a number of years now we’ve run Creative State and IfLooksCouldKill side by side – each an established design studio in its own right.

To simplify our set-up, Creative State will now contain our interests and side projects, and IfLooksCouldKill will handle all identity, print and digital design activity. Otherwise, it’s very much business as usual.

An internal practice, Ideas Engine, has been designed to help our clients improve their business or project. We will also be offering inspiration in the form of articles, interviews and workshops. Coming soon.

Who we are

Small and adaptable, we take a collaborative approach to working on projects and bring you all the benefits of having a strong network of partners.

Some of the brands we’ve partnered with include Glasgow School of Art, the Royal Crescent Hotel and Spa, and Scottish Borders Council.
