Logo Design, Branding & Business Launches
I'm passionate about branding and love bringing together a whole identity. Your audience aren't just looking for a service, they are open to building an interactive relationship with your brand and want to hear your story. Taking the time to shape how your company looks and communicates helps introduce you to the right demographic, and forge a lasting connection with the people who really matter to you.
A Logo is a company’s unique visual identifier, it must be memorable, versatile, scalable and timeless. My process, evolved over the last decade, ensures I create a totally unique brand which creates a powerful visual impact. Your perfect striking icon, custom lettering & complimentary colour and assets, which complete your visual identity.
My first step toward creating a truly iconic design is to listen and make sure that what I create is a perfect fit. From the time I undertake the project I use all my skill, experience and intuition to deliver a beautiful, unique and versatile brand package. It will be simple to use, relevant to your clientele, and distinctive from your competitors. From Tech Start-Ups to Beauty Brands & Public Spaces. The important thing is building the unique DNA of your brand.

Modern Responsive Websites
The most important aspect of your website is the human one. Presenting the important information without clutter is vital. Beautiful websites are clean, concise and easy to use. They have a clear focus, calls to action and present information in way that's easy to consume. I will design your site to lead visitors to the information they need.
Keeping the design simple, and delivering a strong message in an elegant, versatile package is the aim. I can keep it appearing simple, even if there is a lot of information to present. The key is a strong focus on hierarchy. Presenting a little information at a time and giving that information room to breathe is the path to great communication.
The approach I take is centered around your clients needs, and focused on rich content and your brand story. I often take the reigns with content creation too, so you can relax and let me do the hard work. All of our websites are responsive, so they work beautifully on mobile devices, tablets and laptops. And you can even edit them yourself and add store capabilities at the touch of a button! So what are you waiting for? Let's get busy!

A Thousand Words
As our lives get busier the way we consume information is changing. Powerful photography and creative concepts have never been more important, and I can make sure you get the most out of your investment with innovative ideas and a fresh approach. I can deliver beautiful imagery and even support your brand with event photography.
I’ve been trusted by Start-Up’s, Big Brands and Entrepreneurs and even worked with award-winning agencies to deliver first-rate visual experiences. I am an idea generator. I take care in listening and planning to capture a concept, envoke the right feelings and even tell a story with the camera. Shooting with a designers eye I can envision where the strapline will work in the white space, I’m planning how it will look with the Instagram crop, what area will be masked in Facebook and Twitter feeds and how it's going to work within the composition in print.
Product Photography requires particularly careful planning and great care to get consistent angles, lighting and composition. When it's done well the images become interactive, simply layer up to present as much or as little of the range as you need. I also have over a decade of experience in retouching and that really helps to align imagery with the brand. Editing should be done with care and a delicate hand, keeping the images natural and professional. So whatever your style, lets make sure you shine!
