Careers

We're a small team doing meaningful work. If you care about craft and want to build products that respect people, you might be a good fit.

Who We Are

Studio Return is a design studio based in Bristol, UK. We make digital products that solve real problems while respecting your time and attention. We call them "polite products".

We're a deliberately small team. We believe in quality over quantity, and we'd rather do a few things really well than many things poorly.

How We Work

Remote-first

Work from anywhere. We have a studio in Bristol if you want to use it, but it's not required.

Flexible hours

We care about output, not hours. Work when you're most productive.

No meetings culture

We communicate asynchronously by default. Meetings are the exception, not the rule.

Four-day weeks

We work Monday to Thursday. Fridays are for rest, learning, or personal projects.

Our Culture

We believe in the work, not the hustle. We don't celebrate overwork. We celebrate sustainable creativity and craftsmanship.

We're direct and honest. We give feedback kindly but clearly. We assume good intentions.

We care about the details. The small things matter. We sweat the type, the motion, the feel.

We're always learning. We share what we learn with each other and with the wider community.

Open Roles

We don't have any open positions right now.

But we're always interested in hearing from talented people. If you think you'd be a good fit, send us an email at careers@studioreturn.co
