About us

We’re a husband and wife team with a huge amount of experience, not just in design, advertising, marketing and web development, but also the education, charity and care sectors both here in the UK and abroad.

Based in Ipswich, Suffolk we’re offering new businesses, charities both old and new and other ventures such as clubs, social groups and collectives across the region with professional marketing collateral at a budget geared towards them.

Having come to the decision to try out on our own and realising how hard it would be for a new business to not just function as an enterprise, but also to manage the demands of promotion and marketing to achieve ongoing success, we felt we had something to offer as a small, streamlined outfit but with all the skills and experience to offer a full service without the overheads of a traditional agency. Working from our home without the burden of the associated costs of running a separate studio with multiple employees with different skill sets, we feel we can offer the full service at a price point more suited to that of a fledgling business, not-for-profit organisation or social group due to the broad nature of the skills and experience we’ve garnered over the years.

So who are we?

Why ‘lumika’?

Well, in Filipino ‘lumika’ means to enlighten or illuminate, and the similarly sounding ‘lumikha’ means to create or design. We hope to illuminate both you and your audience with our creative thinking and produce compelling, professional, yet cost-effective marketing materials through inventive yet considered concepts, designs and builds.
