Creative maturity and experience

Our creative experience has been prepped, seasoned and matured through some of the UKs top creative and renowned design houses, namely Penguin Books, Pentagram and The Chase, before establishing AB3

AB3 Design has over 30 years of experience in visual communication, with a wide ranging portfolio of design projects within a variety of sectors – from branding major property development and construction projects in Westminster and Belfast; building comprehensive websites for one of the UK’s most progressive energy companies; producing online and printed marketing material to commemorate the anniversary of the sole surviving ship of WWI’s biggest sea battle; or designing Rick Stein’s The Seafood Restaurant 40th anniversary book for PenguinRandomHouse. In short, we are proud to have a diverse and mature portfolio of work.

Founded by Hugh Adams, ideas and a love of typography have always been at the forefront of Hugh’s design idealogy, having been prepped, seasoned and matured through some of the UKs top creative and renowned design houses, namely Penguin Books, Pentagram and The Chase, before establishing AB3.
