About

Studio Belly Timber (SBT) is powered by the designerly minds of Adam Spencer and Richard Berry. Creative graphic design has been our lifelong passion and behind our beards lies two dedicated professionals with many years of experience in publishing and design for print.

 

Since setting up SBT three years ago we’ve put together a reliable team of creatives to increase our services. We’ve also built relationships with a number of local printers. This means we have a large talent pool to dip into – including designers, copywriters, photographers and web developers - for every project.

 

Our collaborative approach also gives us the flexibility to meet any print spec or budget requirement. Whatever you need, from business cards or annual reports to large format outdoor graphics, we’ve got the expertise to deliver it.

 

Even more importantly, we just love working in graphic design and try to bring a bit of our passion to every project. With SBT you get design with substance, as well as style!

Fav quote…“Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic. Authenticity is invaluable; originality is nonexistent. And don’t bother concealing your thievery - celebrate it if you feel like it. In any case, always remember what Jean-Luc Godard said: “It’s not where you take things from - it’s where you take them to.” — Jim Jarmusch
