How Linden & Pike works and what a project is made by.
The story
Linden & Pike began in 2016 as two desks and a shared lamp above a print shop. It is still small. Ines Calloway leads every project, and the work is made by the people you meet. Ines answers every enquiry in person.
The studio is a single bright room with a long table, a flat file and a wall that changes with every project.
Three things the studio holds to
One lead, start to finish
The person who takes your brief is the person who delivers the work.
Drawn before it is made
Pencil comes first, whether the project is a photograph, a mark or a room.
Plain files, plain terms
You get the files in formats anyone can open and a one-page agreement anyone can read.
How a project runs
From the first call to the handover, in the order it happens.
Listen
A first call or a first coffee. We ask what the work is for and who will see it, and we leave with a one-page brief.
Sketch
Pencil, paper and cut-outs before any screen. You see three honest directions, not thirty polished ones.
Make
One direction is chosen and built. You see work in progress at fixed points so nothing is a surprise.
Refine
Two rounds of changes are part of every project. A third round is quoted before it starts.
Hand over
Files, prints or drawings are delivered with a short guide so anyone can use them without calling us.

Smaller projects can sometimes start sooner, so ask. Larger identity and interiors work is usually booked a season ahead.
Ask about the work, how a project runs, availability or visiting the studio. Answers come from this site's own words. For a project of your own, use the Inquire page. On this demo the answers are matched from the site's own words; on a live site the AI studio desk answers.
