Every project starts with a collaborative workshop to understand your business, audience and goals. This gives me the clarity to make smart, strategic creative decisions from the very beginning.

I research your market, audience, and competitors to uncover insights that shape the direction of your brand. This step also includes a visual mood board that sets the creative direction before concept development.

Got Questions?

Do I need to do a full rebrand to work with you?
Not at all. Some clients come with a complete brand strategy, others just sense their brand isn’t tracking. I can help shape the direction you need, whether it’s a refresh or a full redesign.
What if I already have a logo
That’s great. I can build on your existing logo, add strategic messaging, or develop supporting visuals. Standalone brand guidelines or asset packages are also available if you don’t need a full package.
Is this just design, or does it include strategy too?
It’s both. I always combines strategic insight, competitor research with strong visual design, to create a brand that looks great and drives business results.
Can I add extras like email templates or pitch decks?
Absolutely. I offer flexible add‑on packages, from email templates and social assets to pitch decks, lead magnets, and more. Just ask, and I'll create a tailored plan.
Will I own all the brand assets?
Yes. Once the project is complete and paid for, you’ll have full ownership of all final brand assets. I’ll supply everything you need to use, apply and evolve your brand with confidence.
How long does a project take?
Depending on your requirements and your feedback speed, projects take between 4 - 12 weeks. You’ll get a clear timeline upfront, with regular check‑ins to keep you in control.
Do you work with clients outside the UK?
Yes! While most clients are UK-based, I work with businesses worldwide. Everything is managed online, and files are delivered digitally, no travel needed.
What's included in your brand guidelines?
Each package includes at least a one-page basics guide (logo, fonts, colours). Larger packages include more, like tone of voice, image styles, social templates, and usage rules. I can tailor it based on your needs.
Will this help us stand out in our industry?
Definitely. I dig into your audience and competitors to build a brand that’s not just visually distinctive, but strategically positioned to stand out, connect with the right people, and drive growth.
How much does branding cost?
I offer different levels of branding support to suit different stages of businesses. If you have a budget in mind, I’ll always look at how I can adapt things to work for you.
