Design intervention for a complex world ™

You have probably worked with design agencies before. The senior team pitches, the junior team delivers, and six months later you are explaining the brief again to someone who wasn’t in the room.

Studio ISO works differently. We are a senior team. The people you meet at the start are the people shaping your product throughout. We are embedded in your programme from the earliest strategic thinking through to production, because the decisions that matter most happen at every stage, not just the beginning.

“Studio ISO doesn't just solve problems, they change the way we think and shape the direction of 
our business."
“Jamie elevated our design and business strategy. Far more than a partner, he was a mentor who helped us compete with global leaders.” 
“Studio ISO transforms scattered ideas into actionable products. Bringing clarity, wisdom and commercial focus at every step.” 
“Studio ISO brought clarity to our product roadmap. Aligning strategy and execution to accelerate innovation under pressure.” 
“Studio ISO unified our teams around a clear vision, turning complex tech into compelling stories and a shared roadmap.”

Clients and engineering partners work directly with the designers shaping their product, which keeps design intent intact under the pressures of development and means decisions get made faster, with less lost between conversations.

From vision to production

With expertise in human-AI interaction, connected ecosystems and ambient intelligence, we work across the full development arc: strategy, design, experience and production. We make sure technology built by your R&D team is shaped to succeed in the real world.

ISO success stories

The measure of our work is not how good the design looks. It’s what happens in the market afterwards.

Founder & Creative Director 

Jamie Cobb 

Jamie has spent over 20 years working on the problem that most technology programmes meet too late: a product that works but hasn’t earned adoption. Working with technology leaders at Samsung, Panasonic and Nokia, he has brought clarity to programmes where teams were pulling in different directions, aligned competing stakeholders around a shared vision, and stayed involved from strategy through to production. He is the person in the room who can see both what the technology is capable of and what it will take for people to choose it.
