Freelance graphic design studio in Cornwall

Deep thinking and imaginative design for ambitious brands and businesses.

Hi there.

I’m Emily Godwin, a graphic designer with 13+ years of experience and the founder of Thirty Fathoms design studio in Cornwall.

From visual brand identity and packaging design to marketing materials and bespoke illustration, I partner with ambitious brands of all shapes and sizes to help them stand out and succeed.

What I can do for you.

Are you launching a new business? Or have you been working hard to sell your products and now you’re ready to scale up with a commercial brand? Perhaps you already have a brand and marketing materials, but they’re not doing you or your products justice?

 Whatever stage you’re at in your brand journey, if you’re ready to take the next step I’m here to help. From my small studio by the sea in Cornwall I offer tailored creative design services that are always rooted in strategic thinking - so that your brand and marketing represent your business in the best way possible. With my true passion for design and my simple, four step approach, I’ll help bring your ideas to life in a way that’s enjoyable and stress-free.
