Lark is seven
Time flies! Lark just turned seven and now that the smoke from the candles has cleared and the cake has been cut, we’ve taken a look back at the work completed over the last year.
Giving. Thanks.
This year we’ve decided to donate our Christmas marketing budget to the MacGregor Children’s Ward at Warwick Hospital. We’ve purchased a selection of gifts, toys and games to entertain them and their families during their stay.
Christmas rules
Whether you like it or loath it, Christmas has come early this year. The John Lewis advert is out, Bublé is stirring from his slumber and mince pies are flying off the shelves at an alarming rate. We’ll all be subject to an avalanche of festive tidings next month so why not make yours stand out.
A website design update for a strategic copywriter
We’ve recently relaunched the website of our friend and close collaborator Sophie Titcomb (Yarn). After developing the visual identity a few years ago, the site needed a refresh to coincide with changes to the business.
A creative outlet
This spooky season bag yourself a unique hand screen-printed tote to store those tasty Halloween treats. We’ve opened a studio shop giving us the opportunity to sell a curated collection of products using sustainably sourced materials and environmentally friendly production methods.

Lark is six
Lark turned six this month and to celebrate we’ve taken a look back over some projects from the past year. As always we couldn’t do it without all of our client’s, collaborators, friends and followers. Thank you.
Supporting women in the design industry
63% of graphic design students are women yet only 17% are Creative Directors. Kerning The Gap want to change this statistic. Established in 2015, its aim is to get more women into leadership roles within the design industry. I’m happy to say that I’m taking part in their mentoring scheme this year.

Time flies: A reflection on five years running a design studio
As the studio turns five our founder takes a look back over the past few years with some thoughts and reflections on how far we’ve come. Time really does fly when you’re having fun.
Happy new nest
This year’s Lark Christmas mail out coincided with the move to our very own studio in a renovated coach house in the heart of Leamington Spa. We designed a two-sided card to celebrate landing in our new nest.
Studio move
Eagle-eyed followers might have noticed a couple of address changes recently. We moved out of London a few months ago to establish a new home in Leamington Spa, Warwickshire.
Shortlisted for a D&AD award
We’re very pleased to hear that our Christmas cards, designed in collaboration with WithPrint, have been shortlisted in the self promotion category of the D&AD Awards.
Christmas cards WithPrint
We’ve teamed up with WithPrint for this year’s Christmas card, mixing up the usual greeting card format using a range of print finishes and recycled papers.
Designing during lockdown
We're designing from home during lockdown as our co-working space at Battersea Arts Centre has been closed but we’re still available to support our clients.
Our branded Christmas card 2019
The Lark branded Christmas card is a little different from previous incarnations, it's handmade and screen-printed thanks to Madeline Meckiffe.
Moving card
Lark has a new home, so to let everyone know we created this little moving card. They're winging their way to clients, followers and friends this week.
Lark Christmas Card 2018
The Lark Christmas card should now be safely nested on mantlepieces and desks around the world. This year we took inspiration from the 12 Days of Christmas.
