Middle Name is a branding and design studio founded by Oliver Shilling (who, ironically, doesn’t have a middle name).
Our work is informed by a broad set of interests and a belief in the power of simple and brilliant design. We enjoy working closely with founders to help their businesses grow; collaborating with talented creatives to produce brands with intelligence, character and clarity.
Approach
We like to keep things straightforward, so we always start with a clear process. We take the time to get to know you, your business, and your purpose, so our work is always grounded in a true understanding. We work collaboratively; bringing in talented creatives to ensure each project has the right team, with the right scale and skill set. We work internationally with businesses of all sizes.

Values
We’re a small studio, but we still have a responsibility to society that we consider carefully. We are focused on helping good businesses develop and grow; we don’t take shortcuts. We are currently offsetting our carbon footprint and are always interested in pro-bono projects close to home. We offer reduced rates for start-up businesses, charities, and social enterprises.
