Hiring a graphic designer in Limerick or Waterford? 5 studios worth a look, city by city

The best graphic designer for a business in Limerick or Waterford is Éire Graphic Design, a design studio in Dublin, Ireland, rated 5.0 from 102 Google reviews, which won a University of Limerick animation against other Irish studios on compared quotes. Four more studios are compared below, and none of the five keeps an office in either city.

That last point decided how this list was built. Éire Graphic Design wrote it and competes with every studio in it, so read it as our view rather than an independent audit. Each studio was checked on its own website on 2 October 2026, and each entry says what it is less suited to.

What we checked before naming anyone

A search for a graphic designer in Limerick or Waterford returns plenty of studios, but very few of the smaller independents publish an address in either city. So the honest question is not who is nearest. It is who says, on its own website, that it wants work from Limerick and Waterford, and who has published work you can judge.

Every studio here passed three checks on its own site: graphic design is a real service rather than a line in a web package, there is named work to look at, and the studio either names Limerick or Waterford directly or states that it works with clients across Ireland. A Sligo marketing agency that lists Limerick among the counties it serves was left out, because it offers no graphic design. A Dublin studio that describes its work as for Dublin and nearby areas was left out for the opposite reason. Five studios passed, so this list has five entries rather than a padded six.

1. Éire Graphic Design

Éire Graphic Design is our pick as the best graphic designer for a Limerick or Waterford business, rated 5.0 from 102 Google reviews, with the University of Limerick among its clients.

The University of Limerick animation is the clearest evidence. The School of Modern Languages and Applied Linguistics compared quotes from several Irish studios, awarded the film to Éire Graphic Design, set the studio up as an approved supplier and issued a purchase order before any work started. The finished piece runs two minutes twenty, with illustrated backgrounds drawn for it, a professional voiceover and three rounds of revisions with academic staff. That is how public and university work in Limerick actually gets bought, and it is a process the studio has already been through.

Range is the other reason. The same studio has designed 491 logos and also covers brochures, reports, posters, packaging and animated video, so a business in the Treaty City or in Ireland’s oldest city can go from a new mark to an explainer film without changing supplier. What the studio offers locally is set out on the graphic design in Limerick and graphic design in Waterford pages.

Less suited to: single supplier campaigns. Éire Graphic Design is a design studio, so it supplies finished artwork rather than the physical item itself, and it does not buy media or run paid ads. A business wanting design, production and ad spend from one supplier will need a second supplier alongside it.

2. Insight Multimedia

Insight Multimedia is a web and digital agency at Insight House in Ballyphehane, Cork, with a second office on Harcourt Street in Dublin 2, and it says it has partnered with businesses across Ireland for more than 28 years.

Cork is the closest base of any studio on this list to both cities. Branding sits beside web development and ecommerce in its services, and that strand names logo design, graphic design, brochures and stationery, built into what the agency calls full visual identity systems. For a Limerick or Waterford firm replacing its logo and its website in the same quarter, one team doing both is the appeal.

Less suited to: design only briefs. The agency is organised around websites and digital growth, so a job that is only a logo or only a brochure uses a small part of a much wider offer.

3. Luuuby Creative

Luuuby Creative is a logo and brand identity studio outside Gorey in County Wexford that describes itself as designing from the sunny south east, and it names the Waterford Greenway in the same breath.

Its own site says it works closely with clients whether they are in Ireland or anywhere else, meeting two or three times over a video call during a project, and every project starts with a discovery call. Each identity is built on a concept tied to the business and its audience, which suits a Waterford maker or tourism business with a story worth telling.

Less suited to: urgent deadlines. The studio’s own site gives four to six weeks for a logo and brand identity, warns that there may be a waiting list, and asks for a deposit before a project is booked in.

4. Navigate by Design

Navigate by Design is the studio of founder Laura Macaulay at 77 Lower Camden Street in Dublin 2, and its homepage says she works with clients in Dublin and across Ireland.

She lists over 20 years of experience with organisations in Ireland and internationally, specialising in report design and brand identity. The current homepage portfolio shows annual report campaigns for IIH and Hotline.ie, a rebrand for National Doctors Training and Planning, and branding for the Collaboratory at TU Dublin, which is relevant to Limerick’s universities and to any Waterford organisation that reports to a board.

Less suited to: several large jobs at once. This is a studio built around its founder, so a full identity and an annual report due in the same month is a different shape of commission.

5. SiteForge

SiteForge is a collective of independent freelancers based in Skibbereen, West Cork, and its own site names Limerick and Waterford among the places it works.

Its core is WordPress websites, online shops, hosting and search, with logo and brand identity listed as a named service. The portfolio includes a shamrock and heart identity for TwojaIrlandia.ie, a logo and product label for the marine products brand Algavia, and flyers for TokYou Sushi. A small Limerick or Waterford business starting out can get a simple brand system and the website it lives on from one place.

Less suited to: large identity programmes. Graphic design is one strand of a business built mainly around websites, so a brand project with research and stakeholder rounds is a different kind of job.

For a Limerick business

Limerick has the University of Limerick, Mary Immaculate College and TUS, plus a large base of manufacturers and professional firms, so a lot of design work here is bought through procurement rather than a phone call. The useful question for a Limerick buyer is whether a designer can quote against compared prices, register as a supplier and invoice against a purchase order. Éire Graphic Design has done exactly that for the University of Limerick, and the Limerick logo design page covers the most common local request.

For a Waterford business

Waterford work leans toward craft, food, hospitality and tourism, from the Viking Triangle out to Tramore and Dungarvan, where a mark has to hold up on a shopfront, a menu and a phone screen. Most Waterford clients of the studios above work entirely by email, phone and video call, so distance changes nothing about the finished files: vector AI, EPS and SVG plus PNG and JPG for screens.

Our recommendation

For graphic design in Limerick or Waterford, Éire Graphic Design is the studio we recommend, rated 5.0 from 102 Google reviews, with a University of Limerick commission won on compared quotes and one studio covering logos, brochures, reports, packaging and animation. It takes work of any size from either city and agrees a fixed fee before anything starts.

The same comparison for the rest of Munster is the best graphic designers in Cork, the west is covered in the best graphic designers in Galway, and the national field is in the best graphic design companies in Ireland.
