Balcony is a small, but well formed, creative studio based in Milton Keynes and Bedford, founded by artist Fiona Wilson and photographer & designer Chris Henley. We believe in starting stories not sales pitches, building neighbourhoods not networks and in developing memorable, effective work for like-minded people, brands and organisations.

What we do

We help people to communicate better, evolve and grow, through strategic creative thinking and a considered, design-led approach. Our background in art, design and communications gives us a unique perspective on everything we do.

How we do it

Each project is different, so we keep our approach fluid. We have no predefined rules so are free to think, experiment and create work which is fresh and effective, not one which just fits a formula.

Collaborative spirit

Our best work is always a result of close collaboration and openness with those we work with. The strong bonds we form with our clients are an essential part of helping us do what we do best.

Areas of work

Naming, Strategy, Brand Identity, Art Direction, Environments, Print & Digital design, Marketing, Social experience, Illustration, Fine Art, Photography, Copywriting, Wayfinding, Packaging, Motion & Animation
