My story

Hi, I'm Tom, nice to meet you! I started This is Pod in 2014 with the vision of providing the ideal design process to help early stage entrepreneurs bring their ideas to life. I've been a professional graphic designer for over 15 years and I love everything design and UX. I ride downhill mountain bikes, I write music and play guitar in bands with my friends. I started a passion project called Burntaxe which is my custom guitar hobby gone mad! I'm a gardener, a home renovator. Everything I do is surrounded in creativity. Being creative is my happy place :)

We offer 

Graphic design for websites and mobile apps.
We create user interface (UI), user experience (UX), digital strategy, investor decks, real-time data visualisation, dashboards, websites, marketing creatives, videos and native mobile app designs for Android and iOS. 

We work in web, desktop, mobile and print formats.

We get startups. We're like you. We work around the clock.

You don't have to be in Brighton to work with us.  We work with everyone, from sole traders based Leeds, London or Amsterdam to global corporations working out of Shanghai, New York and Sydney. We work with leading entrepreneurs at their seed, early and growth stages. We also work with large enterprise clients. Every client is important, whether they are just one person founding a business, or the head of a team in an established global brand. 

We organise your project around your schedule. We don't have lots of departments, we work directly with you, we get as immersed in your business as you are.

Startups and scaleups

We know that funding can be limited in the early stages, we will do everything we can to meet your budget and accelerate your startup.

App design starts with hand drawn wireframes

We’ll sit down and talk to you about your vision.  Don't worry about how your plan looks now, we can work with anything from sketches drawn on the back of an envelope to extensive wire-frames and detailed specs.  

Working with you

• We'll establish which platform is best for your business right now.

• Who your audience is and how they'll interact with you.

• What you should include in an MVP, what should be rolled out as your users and income streams increase.

• How to keep your users engaged, rewarded and eager to use your platform above others.

• How to present your products well, so they sell.

We’ll work with you to build a professional logo, create the right tagline so you stand out from the crowd and develop a consistent company culture. Contact us to find out more.
