Campground

In today’s rapidly evolving industries—where biotech meets behavioral science, AI must be understandable, and SaaS products demand elegance and efficiency—brands need more than a slick logo or a pretty website. They need a creative partner who understands the nuances of complex, tech-driven ecosystems and those who use them. That’s where Campground comes in.

Founded in 2021, Campground is a design studio crafting brands and digital experiences that make technology feel more human. Though young in name, the studio brings over 15 years of combined experience, creating compelling work at the intersection of strategy, storytelling, and user experience. In just a few short years, they’ve positioned themselves as trusted collaborators for forward-thinking companies in some of the most technical, high-stakes sectors around.

Built on Purpose, Fueled by Partnership

How Campground is Designing the Future of Technology:

At the heart of Campground is the belief that design is not just a deliverable—it’s a dialogue. The studio was founded by Colin and Dewi Simpson, a husband-and-wife team whose synergy brings both creative firepower and empathetic insight to every client relationship.

Colin Simpson, Co-Founder and Design Director, is the visual storyteller. With a meticulous eye and deep appreciation for design as both craft and communication, Colin leads creative direction across brand and digital initiatives. His work is grounded in strategy but never short on imagination. Outside of the studio, he’s a dedicated dad and globe-trotting dreamer with a love for learning from cultures around the world.

Dewi Simpson, Co-Founder and Senior UX Designer, brings the human lens to everything Campground creates. With a background in user experience design and a strong sense of emotional intelligence, she helps clients uncover what users really need—and how to build it in a way that’s intuitive, inclusive, and inspiring. Dewi’s approach is rooted in empathy, fueled by research, and always centered around real-world impact. When she’s not solving design problems, she’s likely nurturing her garden or attending a local craft workshop.

Together, Colin and Dewi are redefining what it means to work with a design studio—not as vendors, but as strategic, long-term collaborators.

Deep Expertise in High-Impact Industries

Campground doesn’t try to be everything to everyone. Instead, they’ve honed their expertise in sectors where the stakes are high and thoughtful design can drive meaningful outcomes. Their sweet spot is where complexity meets clarity:

  • Biotech & Healthtech – Translating scientific advancements into approachable, trustworthy brands and products.

  • Artificial Intelligence (AI) – Humanizing emerging technologies to foster trust, understanding, and adoption.

  • Finance & Fintech – Designing with precision for industries that require both transparency and innovation.

  • SaaS & B2B Platforms – Helping software products feel simple, elegant, and indispensable.

  • Technology Startups – Building scalable brand and product foundations that grow with your business.

This deep industry focus means they bring more than aesthetic polish—they offer insight into user behavior, technical requirements, regulatory landscapes, and the unique challenges their clients face.

Services That Blend Beauty, Function, and Intent

At Campground, design is a strategic tool. Every pixel and word is intentional, and every deliverable is built to align with business goals. Their core services include:

A great brand tells a story—and Campground helps companies tell theirs. From naming and messaging to visual identity systems, they craft brands that resonate with both stakeholders and users. Their process is collaborative, uncovering what makes each client different and turning that into a bold, unified identity.

Web & Product Design

Campground brings ideas to life with modern, responsive design for websites, dashboards, and digital products. Their designs prioritize usability, accessibility, and performance—ensuring that what’s built is not only beautiful but also functional and scalable.

A Flexible Approach to Collaboration

Every company’s design needs are different—and Campground gets that. They offer a range of flexible engagement models to meet teams where they are:

  • Embedded Hourly Design Support – Seamlessly join your in-house team to provide hands-on creative help.

  • Monthly Retainers – Ongoing access to Campground’s expertise for evolving projects and product needs.

About

Campground is a versatile design studio specializing in branding and user experience design — building simple, effective solutions to complex problems, and creating work that's genuinely exceptional.

 

What We Do

 

Colin approaches every engagement with a research-first mindset — taking time to understand the brand, its audience, and the competitive landscape before any design work begins. That foundation is what separates identity work that lasts from work that dates quickly.

 

Clients range from early-stage founders building their brand identity for the first time to established businesses ready to evolve a visual system that no longer reflects who they've become. In every case, the goal is the same: design that feels unmistakably right and connects authentically with the right audience.

 

 

The best brand design work earns its place in the world — not just on a screen or a business card, but in the way people feel when they encounter the brand. That's the standard that guides every project, and it's why clients return for additional work and refer others who have the same standards.

 

If you're looking for a partner who takes your business seriously and delivers work that produces results, this is a strong fit. The best engagements start with a real conversation about what you need — not a templated proposal.

 

We thrive on the challenge of taking complexity and making it feel effortless — for brands that want design that's both strategic and deeply considered. Available for companies looking for a branding and UX design studio that keeps things elegant and purposeful.
