Meet Hannah & Toby
Our Story
Forever Cheering You On
We’re Hannah and Toby and together we work from our studio in the leafy streets of Sheffield.
They say you should never work with your spouse but we’re seven years in and so far so good!?
We took the leap to open our own design studio after leaving previous careers and with a love of creating special things for brilliant people, ‘After The Fox’ was born.
We’re inspired by a whole lot of good stuff. A brilliant music doco, great interiors, even greater pubs, (some of our best ideas often stem from ‘early bar’) well written films and a multitude of other bits and pieces that make us who we are.
We like to think of ourselves as a pretty grounded couple who appreciate a good sense of (dry) humour and largely spend our time doing things that bring us a bit of joy.
Two Heads Are Better Than One
we’re not your typical design studio.
We both have very different career backgrounds (one in teaching and the other in graphic design) and have combined our experience to build an award winning studio which is focused on uplifting and supporting all those we work with.
The design world can feel like an intimidating space and there’s so much to think about when you’re branding your business. Although it’s an exciting time, it’s also full of questions and uncertaintly so we pooled our skills to create a design studio that is built on guiding and nurturing everyone who comes through our door.

“Hannah’s previous teaching career really helped me to understand the whole brand process. Everything was presented so clearly which is great when things feel overwhelming. With Toby’s artistic talents and skills, they really are a dream team.”

More Than Design
Design Begins With You
We believe that the best work comes from real human connection and honest stories.
Whilst we’re deeply passionate about design, we’re equally passionate about supporting the people behind the business. The ones brave enough to go out on their own, build something meaningful, and create lasting relationships that help independent businesses thrive and grow.
Our Crowd
We work with so many business owners but they all have this in common.
They’re creative in their approach and brave in their decisions. They trust the process, find a way to make things happen and invest when they know it’s needed.
Their businesses aren’t vanity projects or built for ‘likes.’ Instead they put their people first and care deeply about doing things right.
Just like us.
