Midweight Designer 3 month FTC

About us

Y Wilson is a London–based design studio specialising in creating beautiful and original work for leading brands.

With characteristic irreverence, we seek to interpret what makes a brand different from their competitors. Our work takes on many forms, from Brand Identity to Art Direction, Website Design and Development, eCommerce and Packaging, we understand the value of how good design creates a meaningful connection between a brand and their audience.

We set out to be brave and to challenge, creating compelling narratives that form the foundation of our approach across all disciplines. We describe ourselves as World Builders, with the belief that cohesion and commitment create the most robust expression of a brand.

Our work is also underpinned by strategic learnings, ensuring that everything we do is rigorously stress-tested against a commercial objective. Above all, we recognise the importance of listening and encouraging an open dialogue with our clients to unlock the full potential of our creative process.

Known for our visionary creativity, we work with some of the most innovative and exciting start-up brands and businesses from around the world across the fields of fashion, luxury goods, art, beauty and culture.
