Three Seas Studio was founded by Catherine Jordan, an established designer and creative with 20 years of experience under her belt.

Background

She honed her skills at Design Laboratory, a multi-disciplinary design consultancy based at the Central Saint Martins College of Art + Design, where she worked on branding, packaging and events for global luxury clients such as LVMH and Dom Pérignon, before going freelance and working for the likes of The Guardian, Google and YouTube.

Turning point

However, juggling work + parenthood during the pandemic led to a period of burnout and creative block. After exploring art therapy techniques and a multitude of art classes, she rediscovered her creative spark and began to practice art again alongside her design work. The experience also brought with it a keen desire to share the rejunevating effects of creativity with a wider audience.

Purpose

Catherine set up Three Seas Studio as a way of operating on her own terms. She collaborates with a team of other creatives and experts in their field, from other designers and illustrators to copywriters and SEO specialists, to offer these three core services:

• Design for clients in arts + culture, education, sustainability, and wellness

• Creative practice, focusing on illustration + art

• Reintroducing others to creativity to help business thrive + wellbeing flourish

Ethos

Based in South London, the studio aims to bring clarity, warmth and playfulness to all projects, and to create beautiful, result-oriented work that has an inspiring and enriching impact on the world.
