Our Story
Founded in 2013, Spry Legend emerged from a vision to bridge the gap between creative passion and professional expertise in the graphic design industry. Located in the heart of England, we recognised the need for comprehensive, industry-focused design education that prepares students for real-world challenges.
Our journey began when a group of seasoned design professionals noticed that traditional education was failing to meet the rapidly evolving demands of the creative industry. We set out to create a training academy that combines theoretical knowledge with practical, hands-on experience, ensuring our graduates are not just creative thinkers but also skilled practitioners.
Our Mission
To empower creative individuals with the skills, knowledge, and confidence needed to excel in the graphic design industry. We believe that great design has the power to transform businesses, communicate ideas effectively, and inspire positive change in society.
Our Vision
To be recognised as Britain's leading graphic design training academy, known for producing industry-ready professionals who push the boundaries of creative excellence and contribute meaningfully to the design community.
