Supporting Design Growth

At Devonshire, we take a personal, specialist approach to design recruitment, connecting businesses with the people who shape visual identity, user experience and brand expression. Unlike broader design employment agencies, our recruiters work exclusively within the design sector, giving us a sharper understanding of the roles, skills and portfolios that matter.

We support design recruitment needs for businesses across the UK and internationally, working with organisations in key design and innovation hubs including London, Manchester, Leeds and Bristol, alongside wider markets across Europe, the USA and Asia.

We understand that design teams often need to balance evolving priorities, brand consistency and cross-functional demands. That’s why we support recruitment across permanent, freelance and interim requirements, as well as hybrid, remote and flexible working models, helping businesses access specialist design talent when and where they need it.
