A day off with my boy to start the school holiday juggle 💚

Thank goodness for shift work, grandmas, nursery, flexible working, WFH, and holiday club… and my diary which lets me know who’s where at any one time 😵‍💫

We’ll make it work, the kids will be happy, the parents will be tired and the deadlines will me met 💪

A fairly accurate representation of what I spend my time doing 😅

It might look like a lot of tiny tweaks, but it all adds up to something that feels clear, consistent and much easier to use.

And that’s the bit that really matters.

I’m springing into spring with some colour palette inspo! 😍

I love how a colour can feel completely different depending on what it’s paired with. Softer, bolder, warmer, cooler… it all shifts.

It’s such a simple way to change the feel of your brand without starting from scratch.

Which palette is your fave? 💚🩷🤎

Happy International Women’s Day 💙

I feel very lucky to be surrounded by some brilliant women in both life and business — friends, family, clients, and the many female business owners I’ve met along the way.

Running a business can sometimes feel a bit lonely, but the encouragement, advice and support I’ve had from other women over the years has made a huge difference.

There are so many women out there doing incredible things, often while juggling a million other responsibilities at the same time.

Today feels like a good day to celebrate that.

Shouting out to three of my main hype women over the last few years, who regularly remind me that I can do this! 🫶

Tag a woman who inspires you, supports you, or simply makes life a bit brighter 💙

D’aww, I had to give this one a whirl for your entertainment! 👶🏻💙😂

Be honest, did you recognise me?!

I think baby Sami would be proud of SK Design Studio and the graphic designer I’ve become… and if anyone has met my children, you can now see they’re the spit it of me! (Sorry Jamie, haha)

It’s finally here! The month my family and I have been waiting SIX long years for 🥳

This month, my husband is FINALLY transferring back to Newcastle so he won’t have to work away from home anymore YIPPEEE 🎉

It’s been a long time coming but finally the juggle of running my own business and caring for two small children will be less demanding of me and my time, with his support. 💙

Here’s to more blue skies, a tidier home(!) and more family time on this beautiful North East coast we call home.

Monday motivation, the SK way!

As we enter the last week of February, it’s OK if you’re not quite where you need to be this month.

Take things slowly and let the ideas you’ve created sit in your mind to develop a little longer. Whether it’s a batch of social media graphics, a flyer featuring your latest offer, or an update to your presentation deck.

Then, when you’re ready, drop me and DM, have a chat and let’s get your design work sorted! 🙌🏻 PLAN!

I didn’t fall into graphic design by accident. I chose it long before I understood what a career really looked like.

While everyone around me was unsure about their next steps, I always knew mine would involve Art. But it was at college that Graphic Design truly clicked for me. the problem-solving, the creativity, the mix of logic and expression just captured my imagination.

That spark took me to Leeds Met to study Graphic Arts & Design, and eventually into a career where I get to help businesses communicate who they are with clarity, confidence and a bit of colour.

Design has always felt like the right fit, a way of helping people by making things make sense.
And I still love it.

It’s today 💙 so thought I’d raise a bit of awareness around the 4Ts - all of which I experienced when diagnosed.

It’s estimated that 5.8 million people in the UK are living with diabetes, with just 8% being type 1 diabetic - like me! 💁🏼‍♀️

I’ve had diabetes since I was a kid, and no two days are the same 🥴 there’s highs and lows (pun intended), constant hospital appointments, a lot of carb counting, ratio adjustments, calculations, prescriptions and general self medication… but the care and technology has changed so much over the last 25 years.

I used to take several injections per day. Now I have a couple of pod changes per week! 🧡

My blood glucose monitor used to be in use 10x a day having to prick my finger to draw blood. Now I subtly clock my blood sugar by glancing at my Apple Watch, thanks to my glucose monitor. 💚 It’s life changing! 🤩

So, shoutout to all my fellow diabetics who deal with the daily maintenance of their health at every minute of every day 🙌 Keep talking and reading awareness and
