Our Studio

Studio Hemal Patel business cards

Studio Hemal Patel is a London-based strategic design agency with big ambitions on designing and redefining the material world in a progressive and holistic way. Our work is meaningful, visually arresting and deeply reasoned, to create intelligent products and emotive experiences. We employ an fastidious research and development framework to execute our ethos of 'forward-leaning, divergent-thinking problem solving'. Our approach is driven by a genuine desire to celebrate materials, processes and craftsmanship, whilst honouring our duty of care to the planet and future generations. We are thinkers, and doers, hands on, and hands off (when required). We are rigorous and mindful, dreamers and creators, progressive and, yet, students to history. Above all, we love what we do and we just want to make people happy.

Our Founder & Creative Lead

Studio Hemal Patel is founded and led by design engineer Hemal Patel. Born in the UK, but of Indian heritage, Hemal grew up with influences from both cultures which inform his decision making to this day. He studied at Loughborough University and then Cambridge University, and then worked in the manufacturing engineering industry before settling into design.

Hemal leads all projects at Studio Hemal Patel whilst also maintaining a Creative Directorship at HeadSprung. He is a food lover, ardent Liverpool FC supporter and keen moviegoer. Oh, and he’s on a quest to find the perfect recipes for Chilli Paneer, Thai Green Curry and the Pizza Napoletana. If you can help do get in touch.
