ABOUT
Design Stage provides professional design and draughting services for the creative and construction industries. From detailed 3D models and 2D drawings to visualisations and project coordination, we support workshops, studios, and production teams that need dependable, high-quality design support — whether for a one-off project or ongoing assistance.
Founded by James Dyer, a designer and draughtsman with hands-on experience across theatre, television, exhibitions, and event construction, Design Stage combines practical knowledge with technical precision. With a background in carpentry and construction, and several years as a Drawing Office Manager for a major set-building company, James brings a thorough understanding of how design translates into real-world production. Since establishing himself independently, he has continued to deliver the same high-quality design and draughting services to a growing range of clients.
Design Stage was created to make the design process simpler. With first-hand experience of the challenges workshops face when deadlines are tight or resources are stretched, we provide a single, consistent point of contact for all design and draughting needs — ensuring every project moves smoothly from concept to construction.
OUR APPROACH
Every project starts with understanding your needs — whether that’s a full scenic build, a one-off design, or additional draughting support. We take concepts from idea to fabrication, ensuring designs are practical, buildable, and cost-effective. Collaboration, communication, and technical accuracy are at the heart of what we do.
