 How I work

You're not hiring a designer, you're gaining a creative partner

When you work with me, everything is mapped out from day one. Every milestone is clear, every decision is explained and nothing happens without your input and approval. My clients often tell me the brand and website design process itself was one of the best parts - which I think is exactly how it should be.

As someone who has built three luxury brands of my own, I bring something to every project that goes beyond design skills. I understand the decisions you're making, the anxiety that comes with a big investment and the transformation that's possible when strategy and creativity work together. I'm genuinely invested in your results, not just your deliverables.

“From onboarding, I felt that my brand was in the right hands and I didn't have to give too much guidance." - Jasmine, Sugar & Stories

Your part in the process

What to have ready before we begin

The more prepared you are, the smoother and more enjoyable the process will be. Here's what I'll need from you at various stages:

  • Responses to your brand questionnaire (I'll guide you through this - it's more interesting than it sounds)

  • Any existing brand materials, if relevant to the project

  • For website projects: final proofread copy for every page and all photography and imagery

  • An open mind and a willingness to trust the process (even when it's tempting to jump straight to the logo)!

Not sure if your copy or photography is ready? Get in touch and I can point you toward brilliant copywriters and photographers in my network.

"I liked the communication and how everything was laid out and explained really well. The guidance was really helpful and informative and it helped that I knew what to expect at all times."
