This isn’t just another design project.
Let's be honest: you can get a logo anywhere.* But what you really need is a brand identity that works as hard as you do; one that tells your story, attracts your ideal clients, and gives you the confidence to show up bigger in your market.
Strategic brand design is a long-term investment that will fundamentally change how both you and your clients perceive your business. When we get this right, your visual identity becomes more than just eye candy — it becomes a powerful business asset that:
Sets you apart in a crowded market
Attracts premium clients who value what you offer
Gives you the confidence to show up boldly
Creates instant recognition and trust
Supports your pricing and positioning
*A note about logos: While everyone wants a great logo, it's just one piece of a larger brand puzzle. My goal is to set you up for long-term success, not just to sell you a pretty symbol.
Our work together goes beyond the logo.
As your strategic design partner, I'll help you:
Uncover your brand's unique essence and translate it into visuals that resonate.
Build a flexible identity system that grows with your business.
Create a brand presence that attracts premium clients and commands higher rates.
Develop guidelines that keep your brand consistent across all touchpoints.

That’s not for me to decide — but here are some telltale signs:
You're ready to invest in a brand that drives business growth
You value strategy as much as aesthetics
You want a brand identity that will evolve with your business
You're looking for a partner, not just a designer
You understand that effective branding is a strategic investment
The best partnerships start with a conversation. Whether you're ready to begin or just exploring possibilities, I'm here to help you make the right decision for your brand. No pressure, no hard sell — just an honest conversation about what your brand needs to succeed.
Are you ready for this?
The process: thoughtful, strategic, proven.
Over two decades of experience has shaped my approach into a refined process that delivers results. Through my strategy-led approach we will extract the essence of your brand and translate it into a visual representation that resonates with the right people. Taking into account your brand's long-term vision, I’ll make sure that your thoughtfully crafted brand identity is flexible enough to evolve with your business as it grows and expands — while also being distinct enough to build a strong and recognisable brand presence over time. That way, you won’t have to scour Fiverr for someone to redesign it all again in a year or five.

Your brand is more than just eye candy — it's a business asset that should deliver real returns. A strategically designed brand identity helps you attract better clients, command premium prices, and build long-term brand equity. It's an investment in your business's future, not just a cosmetic upgrade.
-
The difference is in the strategy. I don't just make things look pretty — I create purposeful design systems that solve business problems. Every visual choice is tied back to your strategic goals, ensuring your brand works as hard as you do.
-
Absolutely. Let's have a conversation about your business goals, current challenges, and vision for the future. I'll help you identify the most impactful next steps — whether that means working together or pointing you in a different direction. No pressure, no sales tactics — just honest guidance based on what's best for your business.
-
If your vision is bigger than your current budget, let's talk about it. We can prioritise what will make the biggest impact right now and create a roadmap for future development. Sometimes starting with a strategy session is the perfect way to lay the groundwork for a larger brand investment down the line.
-
A typical brand design project takes 8-12 weeks from start to finish, though more complex projects may take 16-20 weeks. The timeline depends on various factors, including:
The scope of strategic work needed
The complexity of your brand architecture
Your team's decision-making process
The number of deliverables required
We'll establish a clear timeline during our initial discussions and keep you updated throughout the project.
-
Yes, I do offer flexible payment plans at no extra cost. Just mention it when you enquire about working with me, and we’ll work out a payment plan to suit your circumstances. Ownership of any final deliverables remain with the designer (that’d be me then) until payment has been made in full.
-
A style guide is either a simple Google site or a one-page PDF document to give you an at-a-glance overview of the elements of your brand; like colour codes, fonts, logo variations etc. If you’re just starting out or you’re the only one designing for your brand, this may well be all you need.
Brand guidelines are a much more comprehensive document (online or as a PDF) with detailed guidelines for specific use of each of your brand’s elements; such as rules for logo placement and clear space, detailed typographic treatments, brand values, sample branded documents and collateral – and more. Brand guidelines are an invaluable tool when your brand will be implemented by others, such as external design agencies or a VA.
-
Well… yes and no. I don’t usually take on ad-hoc design jobs, but I make an exception for my existing clients, who have the option of either purchasing a retainer package or working with me on a project-to-project basis. I’ve helped existing clients with projects like packaging design, printed collateral, car decals, digital graphics, books and brochures, exhibition booths — and more!
The reason I’m not taking on general graphic design work for anyone else is that 1) my zone of genius is seeing the bigger picture and developing long-term brand strategies, and 2) I already know the ins and outs of my existing clients’ brands, which makes it so much easier for me to help them maintain brand recognition over time.
-
No. Web design and development is a whole profession (actually, it’s more like two) of its own, and I no longer provide these services.
I recommend that you hire a dedicated person or company to help you with your web design needs. That way you can be sure your little corner of the internet is working for you, not against you! A good web designer will be able to reference your brand style guide to create a website that stays true to your brand. I can also provide them with rough design sketches for them to work from, or take on a consulting role where I check in on the project at key points to ensure the design is consistent with your brand.
If you need pointing in the right direction, I have several talented web designers and developers in my network that I can put you in touch with!
-
Not really. Again, this is a whole speciality of its own, and you will find copywriters who specialise in sales copy, and others who are super rad at writing captions for your Instagram feed. And everything in between!
I can help you with strategic naming processes, help you narrow down a tone of voice for your brand, and maybe help you tweak that heading for your brochure – as a part of the brand development process. But that’s really where my expertise ends.
I recommend finding a copywriter that can help you with your specific needs. I can point you in the right direction though, as I have several badass copywriters in my network!
