Slog Creative

Slog Creative is your go-to indie design studio for branding, packaging and design that actually slaps. Hiya! So what is the Slog vibe? It’s bold. It’s bright.

We’re based in Bury, Manchester but our vibes are global. Think bold colours, big personality and no boring corporate bullsh*t. I’m Courtney, the designer and absolute grafter behind Slog Creative - a design studio built for small businesses with big energy and even bigger goals (plus maybe a slight tendency to overthink everything… no judgement cos same). It’s the design version of your loudest,

most supportive mate who hypes you up but also tells you when your fonts are fighting. We’re not here for basic branding that looks like everyone else. We’re here for big-feel businesses, weird little ideas, chaotic side hustles and people doing the damn thing - even when it’s hard.

What if there was a skincare range to fix your burnout? 🤯

Introducing my very own! ‘Trying My Best’ Collection💧

I magicked up this range because well, who the hell wouldn’t use it if it existed?

It’s for the people with to-do lists as long as their arm - staying up late to meet deadlines or one minor inconvenience away from a menty B 😮‍💨

I’ve certainly needed every product here at some point lol 🥴

Which one are you grabbing first?

I’m trying to spend more time designing for fun rather than for the real world so this was my first stab at that - it’s so freeing to make silly little projects! 💖

11/02/2026

I can’t believe it’s barely 2 months into the year and I’ve ticked off the biggest goal on my vision board for 2026 and got a beauty job (!!!!!)

My word for 2026 is FUN 🤡 so the idea now is that I can free up boat loads of time so that I’m able to create, try new things and just generally have a life without being attached to my laptop 24/7 👩‍💻

Like, in an ideal world I could’ve made all this work but the reality is, working full time and trying to build a biz is NOT for the weak 😪 I admire those who can do it all, but I just need more of a work-life balance!

So yeah, in a nutshell.. Slog is still going to be here on the side, I still wanna design and make content for myself BUT it’s just gonna have to be a lil bit different while I navigate full time beauty again… either way, I’m super excited to see what that may look like now the pressure is off!

Now what can I tick off next… 🤔😂

Introducing The Sleepover Campaign - a concept for sleepwear brand Loaffa 💤

The Sleepover Campaign is designed as a relaxed, feel good brand experience for Loaffa’s customers.

Not your typical polished influencer PR event that doesn’t actually connect to the people who buy the brand 🛍️

Instead, it’s imagined as a real sleepover - think cosy fabrics, layered bedding and a space to slow down, connect and experience Loaffa in a way that feels nostalgic and comforting.

It’s less “look at us” and more about the connection that comes from actually using the product!

So what do we think.. would you attend an event like this?

Based on my project for the challenge last month 🌟

Starting a business when you’re not naturally business minded is bloody hard work (!!)

I’m a creative first, so that part feels natural… most of the time anyway 😮‍💨

But you actually need soooo much more than ideas and vibes for it to actually work.

And tbh no matter how much you hype yourself up, it doesn’t magically give you that business brain some people seem to be born with. That’s when the comparison kicks in like okay so what am I doing wrong then???

A lot of the time I’m honestly wondering if this ever gonna pay off or is it just a very expensive hobby 😂

This is the messy middle (or start tbf) and it’s uncomfy AF!! I just need to hope something good comes out of the effort I’m putting in - but you can’t even know for sure and yeah, that sucks lol.

I don’t really have a solution except to keep pushing through. I just wanted to say the quiet part out loud because truthfully, it’s not always fun!

But then as people often say “nothing worth having comes easy” 🥴

I’m learning so many things from scratch building Slog, I’ve never gotten this far or stuck with it (consistently ha) for this long.

So yeah.. no tidy conclusion here, just figuring it out in real time like everyone else x

Some brands start with a trend, but this one started with a very real problem... 🤔

Welcome back to Brands Doing It Well - my series spotlighting beauty brands who actually understand the assignment 🏁

was founded after chronic pain made traditional makeup a nightmare to use. Instead of accepting it, founder Aerin Glazer built a brand that put accessibility at the centre.

Tilt nails it with:

💪 Ergonomic packaging designed for easier grip and opening

♻️ Refillable formats that are sustainable and practical

🤝 Braille on packaging for visually impaired users

Tilt is proof that functional design can make a thoughtful and considered statement.

What do we think of this one then - have you tried any of these products yet? 👀

20/11/2025

Need a packaging pro behind the scenes? 😶‍🌫️

Well helloooo, cos that’s me!

I work with designers, studios, businesses and product developers who need packaging support - from dieline setup to artwork prep, compliance and print-ready files 📁

I’ve spent nearly 5 years in consumer goods (3 of those designing for licensed brands) so trust me when I say, I’m not precious about jumping in at any point 🤷‍♀️

So if you’ve already got the brand sorted, stunning!

You bring the brand, I’ll make it ready for retail 🛒

It was a pleasure as always to work on this matcha box packaging a few months back for lifestyle brand .co.uk. We kept everything clean, cohesive and instantly recognisable for that all important colour blocking moment across retailer shelves 🌿

If you were wondering how my brain actually works… lock in 🧠

Cos it’s a full on rollercoaster huns 🎢

Tbh sometimes it’s even more steps… sometimes it’s literally two and a panic cry 🥴

And yes, the mid-project meltdown is technically optional, but just know I ALWAYS pull it out of the bag afterwards okay 🤷‍♀️

My process might be chaotic, but the outcome? Always gorginaaaa 😘

Lemme know which slide is your fave so I know I’m not the only one riddled with anxiety and living in chaos kthanksbyeeee xo

P.S Just to be clear to any potential clients.. this is the chaotic internal monologue edition NOT the polished Slog workflow, don’t worry lol I’m super profesh HONEST!!!! 💅

I DID A FREEBIE FINALLY 😭💅

If you’ve ever googled “how to get my product stocked in retailers” and immediately closed the tab out of fear (cos WTF is a SKU?!) This one’s for you.

I made The Retail-Ready Starter Kit for emerging beauty and lifestyle founders who’ve smashed the product side but panic when they hear words like compliance, barcodes or SKUs.

Think less Pinterest inspo, more practical - it’s the stuff buyers actually look for (aside from the price tag obvs) 💸

The small tweaks that make your packaging feel less DIY and more “damnnnn, who designed that?”

⚠️ Compliance made simple

🌈 Small design upgrades that make a big impact

📋 The checklist that can save you from those “not right now” rejection emails

Grab it free via the link in bio or comment RETAIL below and I’ll send it straight to your inbox.

You’ve done the hard bit - now let’s make your brand look ready for shelves 🛒💅

This summer I was meant to beta launch my new signature offer… and shock - I felt silly promoting something that wasn’t perfectly finished 🙃

Sooooo it fell through! Classic me x

I’m not the best at talking about my own offers (working on it!!), but I’ve realised the only way to fix that is to keep talking about them - not just post once or twice and ghost 😭

So here’s the dealio 😎

I’m still looking for beauty and lifestyle brands to help me build this offer - for YOU.

You’ll get boatloads of my silly little creative brain ideas for a total steal, plus a bunch of exclusive extras while I refine exactly what founders like you actuallyyyy need (and what you definitely don’t).

Like, this isn’t a drill - I’m actively looking for 2–3 product brands (beauty, lifestyle, wellness etc) to join the beta phase of Slog to Sell Out over the next few months 🏁

You’ll walk away with elevated, retail-ready branding and packaging - and I’ll walk away with something even better: YOUR FEEDBACK 💅

If you’re a beauty or lifestyle product founder who’s ready to move from DIY to shelf ready vibessss in 2026 🛒 then drop me a DM and I’ll send you the details!

11/11/2025

From DIY vibes to 😮‍💨 damn, who designed that?! 😮‍💨

I’ll turn your brand into something you’re proud to show off.

There’s three main ways to work with me at Slog 🏁

Whether you’re a beauty or lifestyle founder after a glow-up, a values led start up building your first brand world ORRR a cosmetics brand needing packaging support behind the scenes - I’ve got you!

I just bloody love good packaging lol!! And after 5 years in-house, I’ve seen what works on shelf AND what gets you noticed 🛒

When you work with me, you’re not just hiring a designer - you’re getting a creative partner who’s all in.

Your wins? My wins! 🏆

Your story, your values, your vibe.. that’s what drives the design.

So if your beauty, lifestyle or wellness brand is ready to glow up, I’m ready to help!

👀 DM me or check out the link in bio to find your fit.

Not sure where you sit? Drop me a message and I’ll point you in the right direction 💌

Did October fly by for everyone else too? 🎃

Why I’ve started doing a photodump each month when I literally never take any photo’s is beyond me… but I DO like making a collage with my cats in it soooo it’s here to stay! 😽🥹

Bit of a quiet one this month tbh, mostly working and pottering about 👩‍💻

Some highlights include:

🕯️A client project being featured on for best packaging design - always nice to be recognised!

🖥️ I finally got a monitor so I can learn how to do 3D and it’s been great for getting me to sit at my desk and be in ‘work mode’.

🤷‍♀️ I actually finished a freebie AND set up my email list - I just need to actually promote it (lol probably the thing I’m worst at) but I’m really chuffed with myself for ticking it off my list!

How was your month? 🤔

Share a win from your October in the comments cos I’m a nosey cow ok thank YOUUUUU 🐄 ###
