Our Story
Over twenty years of creative excellence, shaping brands through design and storytelling that elevate experience.
Think Studio was born from a simple belief: that exceptional design has the power to transform businesses and create lasting emotional connections with audiences. Founded by Creative Director Catherine O’Brien, what began as a vision to bring world-class design thinking to local businesses has evolved into a respected creative partnership with some of the UK and Ireland’s most prestigious hospitality brands, heritage properties, and innovative companies. Our journey has been one of continuous growth, learning, and refinement of our craft.
Creative Director and Founder Catherine O’Brien brings a unique blend of strategic insight and creative vision to every project. With over two decades of experience in design and branding, Catherine has built her reputation on understanding the intricate relationship between brand identity and customer experience.
Her expertise spans luxury hospitality, heritage properties, and premium consumer brands, with a particular talent for translating complex brand stories into compelling visual narratives that resonate with sophisticated audiences.
Catherine’s approach combines meticulous attention to detail with strategic brand thinking, ensuring every creative solution not only looks exceptional but also delivers measurable business results. Her leadership has established Think Studio’s reputation for creative excellence.
“Great design isn’t just about how something looks - it’s about how it makes people feel, how it tells a story, and how it creates meaningful connections between brands and their audiences.”
