Profile

Platform 1 Design was founded by Stephen Young and Rod Ellis after Stephen’s return from 12 years of working for VSO, first as a health & training materials designer and latterly as a country director.

We believe that clear, accessible information is of prime importance in changing people's opportunities and releasing people's potential worldwide. We are committed to putting our enthusiasms and energies towards achieving this result.

We also believe that the journey itself, the process by which the communication is achieved, offers tremendous opportunity for making positive choices.

Our key strategies include:

  • Putting users first when creating design solutions, with particular emphasis on accessibility issues.
  • Encouraging all clients to consider environmental choices, for instance of materials, production and distribution methods.
  • Using electronic media wherever possible, to send visuals to clients and artwork to press, to avoid more CDs in landfill sites.

We can provide a very broad range of communications services from the development of communication strategies to the details of design and construction in individual publications and websites

We can provide database-driven websites where the client manages their own content and solutions for online selling and fundraising.
