Who we are

Hercules Cambridge (HC) is an online studio for designers and innovators in Cambridge. Whether you are a complete novice or an experienced creator, our studio can provide suitable opportunities for you to learn and exercise your creative talent through student-led training sessions, industry projects and world-leading competitions.

Together as an international team, we will combine ​to bring together a multi-disciplinary set of skills and interests that allows us to examine and dissect complicated problems from different perspectives.

Why HC

We believe that a space for creativity should be fun, flexible and free from restrictions. On our platform, we utilise gaming concepts to better visualise the personal development journey, supporting and motivating members' learning and project work.

Our philosophy

We aim to create a space that motivates learners by rewards and recognition, not rules and agreements; a space for our business partners to discover innovative solutions from a new angle; a space that allows like-minded innovators to find each other, to team up and make something cool.

Together, we #DesigntoChallenge.

Innovation

From the competitions our students participate in, to the incubated projects we drive within the student community, we push for innovation in all aspects of design.

We are committed to delivering high-quality artisanship and value for our clients, going above and beyond with our passion for each project we undertake.

Our people

Established by a group of Cambridge engineers, HC now consists of passionate individuals from a wide variety of subject backgrounds.
