What my clients are saying 💛💛💛

A straightforward wordmark for a specialist legal and academic editor. The distinctive “g” and considered colour combinations give the mark its personality. The brand was extended into a Squarespace website, allowing the client to confidently manage and adjust it herself.

First week back, and UES needed an urgent flyer and folder for a run of meetings. The outcome elevated their profile as a serious, emerging player in the utilities estimating space and led to a stream of projects for 2026. A reminder that turning up with considered, on-brand marketing collateral sets the tone and can do more than another email ever could.

Investing in a well-designed slide deck should be clear, on-brand, and simple to update yourself, even if you’re not very technical. When a last-minute presentation pops up, you’ll be able to adjust the content quickly without the stress.

Your logo doesn’t always need a full makeover. I suggested this client keep their recognisable symbol, and just refresh it with clean type, and a fresh colour palette. Small changes. Big difference. Perfect when you want the impact without a full rebrand.

Christmas cupcakes in my signature palette of yellow, black and white at my business network meeting this morning. These colours are striking, simple and unmistakably mine and a fun and memorable way to wrap up the year. ★ ⭐️ ☆

Sometimes a logo doesn’t need a full rebrand but just a thoughtful refresh. If your audience already knows and trusts your logo, a few small updates can make a big impact. Planet Properties, a family-run business for over 30 years, needed consistency across their branding. The initial font was classic but needed opening up for digital use and a fresh blue was introduced that stands out both on the street and online. The logo was also simplified by removing the symbol bringing it inline with it's competitors. The result was a familiar logo that feels sharper, more cohesive, and ready for what’s ahead.

Sharon is a speaker, trainer and mentor who helps smart professionals find their voice, grow their confidence and influence, and communicate with clarity. Sharon approached me to refresh her logo and branding to reflect a new direction for her business. Together, we explored her goals and target market and clarifying how her brand could best support her future growth. The result is a refined visual identity centred on a signature script signalling personal expertise, authenticity, trust, creativity and a high-end, founder-led presence. A fresh purple and complimentary palette adds a sense of wisdom, confidence and sophistication, helping position Sharon’s brand for her next chapter.
