About me
I help small businesses make an impact with modern and eye-catching brand identities.
Projects
  • Soleil Rae
    Soleil RaeSoleil Rae is a boutique swimwear brand for young women. The word Soleil meaning sun in French and Rae like a ray of sunshine. The brand is beachy and boho with a sun kissed feeling to it to make people think of summer and happiness when purchasing their products.
  • Treat N a Box
    Treat N a BoxBeth came to me wanting to create a feminine and relaxed brand for her subscription gift box business. The brand is based off of the idea of the feeling of safety, comfort and being cared for. We wanted the logo to reflect this so I created a simple symbol made up of 4 hearts representing the 4 walls of the gift box, like four walls in a house to give the feeling of safety and comfort.

    Piano With Jenny - Brand IdentityJenny wanted a fresh look for her piano teaching business to reflect her personality and aesthetic. Taking inspiration from piano keys and music notes I created a simple, bold logo. The icon can be interpreted in multiple ways depending on how you look at it. Whether you see fingers playing a piano, piano keys themselves or a music equaliser, all elements link back to music. Even the music note has a double meaning, being interpreted as a note as well as headphones.
  • The Room Hair Studio - Brand Identity
    The Room Hair Studio - Brand IdentityI was tasked with the job of designing a brand identity for a hair stylist opening up their own salon. The Room has rustic interior and is a boutique salon, so the client wanted this to be present in the branding as well as keeping the brand modern and feminine.
