Small team. Big results

THE KSD STORY

I’m rewriting the rules of what a design studio should be

Krishna Solanki - Founder, Creative Director + Squarespace Expert

Since 2019, I’ve been building KSD into Cambridge’s leading Squarespace and brand design studio.

I started with a simple philosophy that stuck: brilliant design should evoke emotion, connect to your values and convert customers.

No two design projects at KSD Towers are the same. I work in collaboration with clients to fully understand what they need and who their stakeholders are, before crafting the perfect bespoke solution.

Every project we take on reflects this commitment to creating brands and websites that don't just look great, but work hard for your business too.


Only slightly obsessed with process-driven design…

I’m Krishna, Founder and Creative Director of KSD. I’ve built a career by jumping headfirst into challenges and proving that creativity, well-defined processes and a confident approach can create extraordinary results. 

Recognised Squarespace Circle Member and Marketplace Expert

As a recognised Squarespace Circle Member and Marketplace Expert, I’ve worked with everyone from established names like Cambridge University, Hachette UK, Cambridge Clinical Laboratories and Sookio, to innovative startups and independent businesses across multiple sectors.

Beyond client work, I regularly share my expertise through speaking engagements, including at the prestigious global Squarespace Circle event in New York.

Over 20 years designing fearless brands and websites has given me a sharp perspective – great design comes from listening to what clients need, not chasing what’s shiny and new.

  • There's a reason Krishna gets booked up months in advance!

    “We came to Krishna with the goal of giving the website a facelift. We were still really happy with the look and feel we developed together and launched in 2019, but with the business repositioning slightly to put more emphasis on our strategic offerings and having amassed some very impressive results and case studies, we wanted to update the website to reflect where we are now, and where we're going. As ever with Krishna, she knows how to keep a project on track!. Having been through an extensive pre-production process meant we were always centred around our initial goals, which meant that the final website was just what I'd hoped for in the first place; creative but not whacky, sophisticated but not corporate and boring, and a little bit dynamic but not so much it affected usability and accessibility. There's a reason Krishna gets booked up months in advance!”
    Sue Keogh, Sookio Director

  • ...meticulous attention to detail and exceptional project management skills...

    “Krishna is a professional and skilled designer and site builder. Working with her was a smooth experience due to her easy-going nature, her meticulous attention to detail and exceptional project management skills, ensuring our project stayed on-track throughout.”

    - Dan Archer, Managing Partner, Cactus / Agencynomics - Marketing & Partnerships

  • Her well-defined process made sure that we stayed on track and on time...

    “It was a pleasure working with Krishna on a branding project for a new initiative being launched by Hachette UK. Her well-defined process made sure that we stayed on track and on time, while her design flair meant she delivered to the brief - we're delighted with the outcome! She took the time to fully understand our needs and developed a real passion for the project. A real joy to work with - thanks again, Krishna!”

    - Tim Perhar, Group Head of Audience Engagement, Hachette UK

  • Working with Krishna has been a joy. Her methodical approach makes sure nothing is missed...

    “She’s clearly extremely knowledgeable and gives great advice when required. She’s precise, creative, detail orientated and a pro at bringing your ideas (and in my case very rough sketches) to life. Add this to the fact that she’s an all-round great person!

    I thoroughly enjoyed working with Krishna and will have no hesitation in recommending her to future”

    - Kelly Morel, Owner and PR & Communications Consultant
