I often get asked where the business name Mivvy Creative came from. Well, it all goes back to my decision, after 17 years, to leave the small creative agency where I had progressed from office junior to studio manager. With a new family and a craving to embark on a new challenge, I decided to go it alone and live my dream. Whilst sitting around the table with my wife’s family, her uncle Richard (affectionately named Miv or Mivvi) joked about naming the business after him.
The name ‘Mivvy’ resonated with me, and after a quick Google search, I found that it’s an old English word meaning a person who is astute, an expert in their field. Hopefully, after nearly 20 years in the design and creative industry, some might say I was a bit of an expert! More importantly, a bit like my own father, the person Uncle Miv is, his values, helpfulness, caring nature and pride in the things he turned his hands to are all core values I had for my yet-to-be-launched company. And so… Mivvy Creative was born. Now you know!
