Summary

Identity with backbone: sharp, strategic, scalable ⚡️
Your brand deserves more than a logo - it needs a backbone. I design identities that are bold, consistent, and built to grow with you. In a streamlined process, I bring clarity to your vision and translate it into a distinctive identity that feels aligned, future-ready, and impossible to ignore.
This isn’t just about aesthetics. Every decision is rooted in strategy - so your brand shows up with confidence across every touchpoint, from launch day to long-term growth. You’ll walk away with a system that doesn’t just look great once, but keeps your business moving forward with clarity, consistency, and impact.

Process

1. Discovery & Creative Direction We begin with a focused consultation to align on your mission, audience, and goals. From there, I translate strategy into two distinct moodboard directions - each rooted in your brand’s personality and positioning. You’ll choose the path that feels right, setting the creative foundation for everything that follows.
2. Brand Design With direction locked, I craft a complete identity system designed for recognition, consistency, and scalability. This includes a full logo suite (primary, secondary, submark, favicon), a strategic colour palette, a curated typography system, and supporting brand elements - built to make your brand both distinctive and future-ready.
3. Refinement & Alignment You’ll review polished concepts and share feedback. Through up to two focused refinement rounds, we’ll fine-tune the system together - ensuring the identity not only looks right but aligns seamlessly with your values and vision.
4. Delivery & Ongoing Support You’ll receive a Brand Manual outlining logo, colour, type and brand element usage, plus a range of mockups showing your brand in real-world scenarios. Final assets are provided in versatile formats (PNG, SVG, PDF) for digital and print use - giving you a scalable toolkit to launch and grow with confidence.

    During the revision rounds, you can provide feedback on the initial concepts, and I will make necessary adjustments to align the logo with your vision. If you require more than the included two rounds of revisions, additional revisions can be provided at an added cost. This ensures that you are completely satisfied with the final design.
