Sam Taylor named on Yorkshire’s ‘42 Under 42 List’

We’re delighted to announce Sam Taylor, Co-Founder & Creative Director of madeby.studio, has landed on Yorkshire's ‘42 Under 42’ - an Insider Media feature showcasing 42 of the region's leading entrepreneurs under the age of 42.

Recognised for innovation, growth and entrepreneurial excellence, Sam represents rising talent from across Yorkshire. At only 27 years, it’s fantastic to see Sam featured alongside many other exceptional young business owners and entrepreneurs.

In April 2019, Sam & Matt officially launched madeby.studio during their final year studying Graphic Design at University of Leeds. After 3 years of hard work - much of which was during the pandemic, Sam and Co-Founder, Matt Wheeler, have since built our agency up into a hugely successful six-figure digital design and development studio.

With minimal funding, madeby.studio’s mission was solely financed through bootstrapping and growth grants from AD:VENTURE. After the second year of business, we saw +950% increase in profit and +293% in revenue. Offering innovative digital transformations from website development to brand strategy, we’re very pleased to have long-standing partnerships with some of the largest healthcare and construction companies in the UK.

Now consisting of a sizable team of creatives, web developers and digital designers operating in the heart of Leeds Dock, our studio is planning for a pivotal scale up. madeby.studio’s goal is to provide innovative digital solutions that empower people. Our aim is to refine our approach and focus on people-centric companies. With existing knowledge and clients in health, education and construction, we strive to revolutionise companies who aspire to create a real difference in the world.
