Klutch Studio is an independent branding agency. We’re based in Brixton, London, but we work with clients all over the globe.

Klutch moments in design are all around us. We help you find them.

There are numerous times when a brand has to hit its mark amidst the pressures of a competitive and fragmented world. Get it right, time and time again, and it will meet the opportunity of the market. For its customers, its staff, and now more than ever, the planet and the legacy we all leave behind.

We believe bold, head-turning and adventurous design enhance these opportunities with real intent and binds brands with their audiences through deeper, more purposeful connections.

We call these Klutch moments.
Klutch moments are our opportunity to Do Something Great™.

Our team

We are a creatively inquisitive team of strategists, designers, writers and developers, all with a Do Something Great™ mindset.

As account manager for Klutch, Jo acts as the bridge between client and designers, and manages projects end-to-end to ensure everything is delivered effectively and on schedule.
When she’s not tackling branding projects, Jo enjoys travelling, working out and – most of all – evenings spent in the pub!

Mollie Norton
Senior Designer

She has a range of experience working within both corporate in-house design teams and smaller brand and digital-focused studios. Originally from Australia, Mollie relocated to the UK in 2022 and joined Klutch, bringing expertise across brand identity, print, and digital design.
Outside of the studio, you'll find her attending various design events, travelling or at a music festival!
Molly Rooney
Midweight Designer

Molly has 5 years of experience working across design agencies of varying sizes and scales, with clients to match. After graduating from Nottingham Trent University in 2021 and completing her MA in Communication Design in Norwich in 2022, she went on to build her career across a range of agencies before joining Klutch in 2025. Focusing on straightforward design approaches to complex challenges, her work spans brand development, brand identity, print, environmental, social, and user experience design.
Outside of the studio, she's often found visiting the cinema (or the pub!), collecting vinyls she definitely doesn't need, or creating chaos in the kitchen!
Dru Riches-Magnier

Dru has spent more than two decades designing and building digital products across a wide range of industries. Beginning in graphic and UI design before moving into development, he brings a rare mix of creative and technical thinking to every project — crafting intuitive user experiences across frontend and backend systems alike.

Outside of work, Dru can usually be found either under the needle in a tattoo studio or dancing Lindy Hop and Balboa to vintage swing tunes.
