Building brands people feel something for
Cover image for SIRKEL Closing the loop: brand strategy,
SIRKEL Closing the loop: brand strategy, creative direction and copywriting for a global investment venture Brand strategy, naming, creative direction, visual identity, website and copywriting for Sirkel Ventures, an investment business working across renewable energy, mining and global markets. THE STORY Sirkel was built around a simple idea: seemingly separate opportunities are often part of something much bigger. The business works across industries, markets and geographies, connecting capital, expertise and opportunity. I wanted the brand to make those connections visible. That led naturally to the idea of the circle, and to Sirkel. From there, I built the visual and verbal world around movement, connection and impact. Circles, ripples, loops and repeating forms became a way to show how one investment can create effects far beyond its starting point. The language followed the same thinking. “Bridging continents. Connecting innovators.” “Embracing diversity and creating opportunity.” “Join our Sirkel of change and impact.” The result was a bold, stripped-back identity that could move comfortably between mining, renewable energy and investment without belonging too obviously to any one of them. WHAT IT TAUGHT ME That a good brand idea can do more than hold a business together. It can help make sense of a business that operates across very different worlds. And that sometimes the simplest shape gives you the biggest world to build from.

ARNO KEMP The room behind the decision: brand strategy, creative direction and copywriting for an executive coach Brand strategy, positioning, creative direction, visual identity and copywriting for executive coach Arno Kemp. THE STORY Leadership gets lonelier the more senior you become. By the time someone reaches the top of an organisation, they’re usually very good at looking like they know what they’re doing. But behind the decisions, the meetings and the performance, there’s another conversation happening. The one about whether the role still fits. What comes next. And the things you can’t necessarily say to anyone else in the room. That was the territory I wanted to build Arno Kemp’s brand around. I kept coming back to the space before the visible decision. The thinking, doubt and uncomfortable honesty that happens privately, before a leader walks back into the room. That led to the central idea: “The room behind the decision.” From there I built a visual and verbal world that felt intelligent, quiet and assured. Less like traditional executive coaching and more like a private conversation between two people who understand the stakes. The writing followed the same principle. The role used to fit. This isn’t confusion. It’s consequence. What leaders stop saying out loud. You’re still performing. That’s not the same as fitting. The idea carried through the identity, presentation material, social content and wider brand system. WHAT IT TAUGHT ME That the most interesting thing about a service isn’t always what happens in it. Sometimes it’s the moment that makes someone realise they need it. And that when you’re speaking to accomplished people, you don’t need to tell them how to lead. You need to show them that you understand what leadership feels like.

Cover image for SIGMA ADVISORY When less is the
SIGMA ADVISORY When less is the whole point: brand development for Sigma Advisory Brand direction, visual identity and creative positioning for a private wealth advisory firm. THE STORY Financial advisory is a category where everyone says the same things. Trust. Expertise. Partnership. The words have been borrowed so many times they've stopped meaning anything. Sigma Advisory is a firm that helps growth-minded businesses replace operational chaos with clear systems and capable leadership. The work is serious and the clients are serious. What they needed wasn't a louder way to say the usual things. They needed a brand that could hold the same quiet authority they hold in a room. Deep navy. Clean serif. A horizontal rule that separates the name into two parts without breaking it. Nothing decorative. Nothing that reaches. The identity doesn't announce itself. It assumes its own credibility, which is exactly how the firm operates. The voice followed the same logic. Clarity as confidence, not performance. WHAT IT TAUGHT ME Restraint is a decision that has to be made repeatedly. Every element you leave out is a choice. The discipline is in knowing what the brand can carry without being said.

Cover image for TASTE ADVENTURES A world of herbs
TASTE ADVENTURES A world of herbs and spices: packaging design, naming and copywriting for a travel-inspired spice brand Brand creation, product naming, copywriting and creative direction across a range of internationally inspired spice blends. THE STORY Some of the best ideas start with a feeling rather than a brief. Three friends had spent years travelling together, eating their way through markets and street corners and other people's kitchens. They wanted to bring something back. Not souvenirs. The real thing. The flavours that made them stop mid-bite and ask what on earth was in this. Taste Adventures was built around that feeling. A spice brand organised not by ingredient but by journey. My job was to create the whole world: the name, the products, the visual language, the words on every surface. The product names came first, because everything else had to follow from them. Mississippi Magic. Pride of India. Mama Africa. Each one needed to evoke a place without reducing it, to feel like a destination rather than a description. Get those wrong and the whole range falls flat. The design gave each SKU its own cultural visual language: Mardi Gras tilework, Indian mandala patterning, West African textile motifs. Distinct enough to stand alone. Connected enough to belong to the same story. The hot air balloon in the brand mark tied it all together quietly, a symbol of curiosity and movement that didn't need to shout. The copy on each pack had one job: make someone feel something before they even open it. Like they're already halfway there. WHAT IT TAUGHT ME That a range is only as strong as its internal logic. The moment one product feels like it slipped in from somewhere else, the whole idea loses its nerve. Here, consistency wasn't a creative constraint. It was the whole point.

Cover image for YOEN® is a luxury textile
YOEN® is a luxury textile house dedicated to the art of considered making. Founded on the belief that the objects closest to our bodies deserve the same rigour applied to architecture — every thread chosen, every weight calibrated, every texture a dialogue between material and maker. We work in cashmere, merino, alpaca and their rarest blends. Our throws, towels and textiles are not decorative objects — they are tactile experiences, designed to hold warmth, absorb light and endure. YOEN® pieces belong to rooms that breathe: minimalist interiors, thoughtful homes, places where stillness is a form of luxury. Yoen's mission remains the same:  To create textiles of genuine permanence — pieces that are felt before they are seen, that outlast trends, and that reward daily use with deepening softness and quiet beauty. Such a wonderful experience to finally see this work done!
