Meet the Team

We are a small, down to earth and very creative team. You’ll get none of the jargon marketing types can be prone to. We are happy to work alongside others if you have existing relationships or we can act as your own inhouse design and marketing team – it’s up to you.

So here we are – Door 22 was started by Creative Director, Emma Nicol, 10 years ago. Her style and helpfulness as a designer soon meant large client wins and so the team needed to expand. The fantastic four you see below are how the team shapes up today:

Emma Nicol

Our Extended Family

We are clear and very confident about our strengths but can
also work with some fantastic partners who we respect and
who compliment our team. They too are professional, blooming
good at what they do and are (almost) as nice as us.
