Cornershop was created to offer big brand experience and small company service. Like the family-run corner shops that inspired our name, we're welcoming and knowledgeable; taking time to understand your problems and solve them with tailored advice.
Cornershop was established by Damian Hamilton in London, UK, 2006. He has consulted with global brands like Diageo, Pernod Ricard and Jimmy Choo, as well as beloved local businesses. Now based in Adelaide, Australia, Damian leads a team of designers and creative collaborators who help create brands for clients locally, nationally and all over the world.
We develop strategic design solutions for drinks, food, lifestyle brands and beyond — brands that you want to pick up and be a part of. We partner with brave businesses that aren’t afraid to be authentic and build brands that want to get noticed. We help brands emotionally connect with their audience and create a competitive advantage across packaging, print, environmental and digital platforms.
We’re more than designers — we’re brand keepers. We build long-term relationships to ensure your brand story is clearly and consistently told at every touchpoint.
Connection is our objective.
Design is our craft.
