Emma Langton is a wonderful executives coach for leaders in business, with personal coaching and business coaching she embodies the professional while also being personable. Her website needed to share that same ability.

Emma had a fully working website, with great content but needed a revamp so that it’s style worked with her. Her love of navy blue clothes gave us a brilliant starting point and a contrasty teal to give it a bit of zing.

We did a remote photoshoot during the Covid Lockdowns, where I took control of her mobile phone camera to create new imagery for her website. These images have been incorporated into her about page and several page headers. They are also useful for creating her own marketing materials, to put herself in her business.

This was a wordpress website and photography project.

A clean symbolic brand for an artist and maker.

Liz is a fellow maker and artist, and was a joy to work with. She wanted a geometric abstract representation of a marigold that could be used as a symbol on its own as well as with text. We turn this into a full brand logo suite with different layouts, components and font options. 

She’ll be able to use these for business cards, wax stamps, rubber stamps and more in her little arist and maker business. 

This was a branding only project.

I drafted two concepts and presented them, she immediately gravitated to my favourite style of clean geometric symbol which can easily be used in a myriad of ways. It’s a subtle detail to notice, the symbol has three sizes; the difference is the spacing between the stamens and the petals between each of them. It means that if the logo is being used in a super small space (like a wax stamp shown above) that the details are sized appropriately so that they don’t lose definition. It’s a small thing to notice but it makes a big difference when it come to having a brand that works at any size.

Hunters Recruitment are on of my longest clients, almost from the start of my business. They wanted a branding concept around the jelly baby for their recruitment company in Brighton. A fun team where finding a job is not a chore. 

A directory website full of jobs with a full and relevant search result engine. Returning jobs that match the search aspects of job type, salary, industries and locations. 

Plus personalised graphics using their little jelly folk to show their main services, used in their shop window and on banners. 

This was another personal project of mine .. creating a community of friends for the mostly invisible part of the LGBT+ society. 8+ years ago when I started this informal social group I didn’t know many gay women to hang out with and be friends. 

So I made a space for us and created events that people could know about and RSVP to. I did the best thing I could think of .. used my powers of branding to make a logo that people would recognise when out and about. The rainbow lips are used on their own and for those who know the logo, they recognise our events. 

Even though this is a logo I made for a side venture of mine .. its been wonderful to see it grow and be recognised by its logo. What started as a ‘lipstick lesbian’ inspiration, turned into this.

This was a brand identity project, meaning the multiple logo components, fonts, colours and textures are part of the full identity brand.

For Athena’s Heart I am my own client, it’s a new mini micro business for a hobby of mine. A place where I can share the jewellery I make by hand, weaving lots and lots of small chain links into the final pieces.

In this project I get to use every skill of mine. So while the website is still in progress (due to prioritising clients work over my own projects) it is still being made. That doesn’t mean I can’t show your the brand logo and graphics made so far for it.

As a little heart hobby that gives me satisfaction and joy in making something beautiful, strong and bold. I wanted a space to share it .. and saying as I am a website, branding, graphics and photographer, well .. I can!

Claire Brummel is an amazing coach helping corporate and business women accept their feminine sides in the masculine world of their work. While at a conference Claire got in touch and asked for help branding a new business she was talking about at the conference. 

This logo and business name is not longer being used, it was a sad parting for her to leave this behind but the right move in growing her business. 

That said, this has to have been one of the fastest brand processes at that time, within 48 hours we had refined from the first concept right through to final design. All the time she was at her weekend conference she kept asking for advice from the attendees of what they thought .. this was real world instantaneous potential client feedback. It also helped put her business on the map with this interaction and direct involvement in her brand.

Anyone that knows Claire, knows she loves pink, sparkles and her shoes. So this brand fit her perfectly. 

This was a brand logo only project, meaning the logo you see below is the only delivered work. 

This project went through a very rapid refinement process, have a look below to see how it developed.

Third and final revision (to the final logo) was to move the ‘st’ up so it became part of the bridge of the shoe. 

Nicola Gough Photographer is a wedding photographer in Shropshire, she’s also a return customer of mine. I originally designed her website in 2016 when she wanted calm, minimalist and clean. You can see a big change in style from her branding and website then to now.

This time round in 2020 she’s full of vibrant confident and seeking weddings full of fun, real emotions .. while still being relaxed. Her branding fonts are all selected from the massive collect on Canva, so that she can maintain her style consistency across to all her social media posts on insta and elsewhere.

I love her wedding photography websites opening words ‘Real, relaxed wedding photography for cake loving couples who love to dance even if they’ve got two left feet.’ Perfect.

Website Purpose: Wedding Photography Website.

Becky is a an amazing seamstress with every bit of kit needed to run her business. What she didn’t have and needed for publicity, were photographs to show her doing the doing of her business.

This is a collaboration service between us and Stephanie Nicholson Personal Styling, so the you can be confident in your clothes and be fearless in your photoshoot.

Becky met with Stephanie first to sort her wardrobe and styling for the photoshoot, gained confidence and then together we had an amazing photoshoot that resulted in a wide range of publicity material to promote her business with.  

This was a personal branding shoot only, meaning that they received digital photographs for marketing. 

I hired him a couple of years ago to make my frst backdrop and when I was in touch while he was running a competition to win a backdrop he asked if I could help with his branding. I said: absolutely!

His design specification was: it needs to have a font that looks hand made and the colour orange. I could see he liked hand written fonts and combined with the modern brush styling, it’s a brand the works from a logo right through his business.  It’s a far more cohesive look and it shows (with the roller) that it’s a vibrant, hand made service.

This was a brand identity project, meaning the multiple logo components, fonts, colours and textures are part of the full identity brand.

Nici is a powerhouse of a woman: crafting away with her knitting needles making gorgeous bespoke hats upon request. While also running many marathons a year, living between a cannal boat and van life, plus being a rescue dog goddess for Jackson.

Nici got in touch after doing a call out for logo / graphic designers to help her with her logo. She initially thought I was out of her budget but recognised the value of receiving her logo in multiple formats and sizes. 

So on we went with her draft drawing skills showing me want she wanted done professionally .. eh wallah, a hat on a yarn ball with a trail of thread.

This was a brand logo only project, meaning the logo you see below is the only delivered work.
