About

With 16 years of experience in the design industry, I bring a refined, elegant approach to all branding and graphic design projects that I work on. Holding an Advanced Diploma in Graphic Design, I specialise in crafting sophisticated, timeless designs that resonate with my clients’ audiences.

Specialising in the wedding and wellness industries I love working on branding and web design projects as well as graphic design for both print and digital. This includes marketing material such as flyers, business cards, banners and exhibition backdrops right through to social media templates, e-brochures and lead magnets.

Lou came to me as she was wanting to define a brand identity for her business and she was renaming from her own name to LBP Wellness. Being a wellness coach who wanted to stand out in her field, and based on discussions with Lou and the completion of my comprehensive brand questionnaire, I decided to take a bold approach to Lou's branding with the use of bright, energetic colours to represent that zest for life that Lou wanted to bring to her clients. rebrand brandidentity wellnesscoach wellnessindustry wellnesscoachbranding

Jack at MAV was recommended to contact me for graphic design work by another of my clients in the technology space. He was in need of a branded table covering, A3 desktop banner and curved backdrop with lights. With a tight deadline before the event was due to take place I designed the 3 items using their brand assets and arranged for print using 3 different print companies. I work closely with a few print companies who specialise in different areas.

Working with Joseph, the owner of “hår”, I designed his pricing menu and appointment cards. Joseph wanted to incorporate a bio about the salon within the pricing menu and so the lower half of the leaflet I flipped the colour combination so that this really stood out and was a separate entity to the main menu. Joseph was keen to use recycled card for the leaflets, to align with their sustainable business model, so we opted for a simple recycled card for the leafelts and a “Flora Giglio” card for the business cards which has a little fleck running throughout to give the cards a natural character. Using one of my trusted print partners I chose the most appropriate card type for both items. hairdresserbranding graphicdesign pricelistdesign appointmentcarddesign

The restaurant was under new ownership and Claire, the new owner, realised that the existing branding was a little dated. She was looking to retain the existing clientele but also appeal to a younger audience. Through in-depth discussions and a comprehensive brand questionnaire I curated 2 style boards for the client to select the creative direction. From there I created a brand presentation to show how the logo suite/branding would look in different environments. The final logo suite was presented to the client in all colour ways from their brand colour palette along with the brand guidelines. branddesign restaurantbranding brandidentity

Jo at Champagne & Ginger was looking for marketing flyers for her business. She already had her branding in place so I worked with her logo suite and brand colour palette to design the flyer. She knew she wanted a map on the reverse so I recommended a handdrawn effect map which suited her brand better than an image from Google maps, which she had first suggested. I work closely with 2 or 3 different print companies on a regular basis so used the most suitable printer to print 1000 copies.

Anna had been running her business several years but her style and offerings had evolved and she had started to feel that she wasn’t attracting the sort of clients that she knew her service warranted. Through looking in detail closely at who she wanted to attract, I curated the new brand identity in order for Anna to feel like she could confidently raise her prices, which is what the rebrand enabled her to do. brandidentity rebrand graphicdesign graphicdesigner
