When branding residential developments like The Abbey, Clonmel, restraint matters more than invention - especially when the brand exists before the buildings do.

In this case, the identity was created and used to promote the development before construction began. The brand had to communicate quality, proportion, and intent before ground was even broken, and long before there were finished homes to point to.

That meant interpreting Georgian proportion rather than copying it, drawing from local stonework without being literal, and building a typographic system that felt established rather than styled.

The goal wasn’t to make the brand noticeable. It was to make it believable - something that could sit comfortably across brochures, hoardings, and digital touch-points, and still hold up once the homes were built.

New Work: The Abbey Clonmel - Property development brand identity

The Abbey Clonmel is a residential development of Georgian-style homes located in Marlfield, just outside Clonmel, Co. Tipperary.

The brief was to create a brand identity that felt established, elegant, and quietly confident - reflecting the architectural quality of the homes and the character of their setting. The identity draws subtle influence from local stonework and Georgian proportion, interpreted through a contemporary typographic system and restrained colour palette.

The result is a brand rooted in place, designed to feel timeless rather than trend-led, and considered across both physical and digital touchpoints.

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about why branding for architectural practices feels different to most other sectors.

Structure, restraint and longevity tend to matter more than expression - and the best identities often stay out of the way of the work itself.

If you saw my last post, you’ll know that there were a number of redundancies across all departments at Scurri, with my role as Brand / Design Manager being one of those.

Since then, I’ve had a great Christmas break with the family, set up a proper home office, and taken some time to reset.

This week marks my first official week back available for fixed-fee brand design projects - an area I genuinely thrive in.

The Plot Twist
If you know me at all, you’ll know I love documenting long-term projects. So, as I move back into freelance work after four years on a small but high-performing in-house marketing team in tech, I’m setting up a weekly (or fortnightly) newsletter to share what I’m learning along the way.

I’ll be covering things like:
• moving from studio → freelance → in-house/corporate → freelance (again)
• brand strategy, social strategy & planning
• pricing & positioning
• behind the scenes (setup, tools, processes)
• potential passive income streams for brand designers
• monthly earnings (maybe - if there is an interest)
• and anything else that comes up

I’m also keen to open the floor to questions, topic suggestions, or simply to connect - whether that’s over email, a call or DMs.

If that sounds useful, you can sign up via the link in bio.

📣 Life Update 📣

After 4 great years at Scurri, my role as Brand / Design Manager has come to an end. Scurri has entered a period of restructuring, and unfortunately, this means my role as Brand / Design Manager has been made redundant, with my last day being just before Christmas.

✨ What’s next? ✨
From this week, I’ll be heading back into freelance brand design - something I’m genuinely excited about.

I’ll be partnering with ambitious startups and scale-ups in industries like Tech, AI, Fashion, eCommerce, Food & Beverage, Property, and more. Offering fixed-fee brand design, brand strategy, website design, social assets, and creative direction.

If you’re looking for brand support and want to:
• Look 10× bigger
• Get to market faster
• Raise a round
• Earn customer trust
• Stand out from the crowd
• Save capital

Or simply have a project in mind, let’s chat.

I’ve been watching a lot of sports documentaries over the Christmas break. Prepare yourself for a lot of typographic posters over the next few weeks 😂

E-commerce website design & build for

We were approached by Nirman Kadel to design and build an e-commerce website for his tattoo studio. An existing logo was already in place so we developed a layout, colour palette, and typographic style to compliment this.

Growing up in the Kathmandu Valley of Nepal, Nirman was inspired by all of the mythological art around him carved in wooden Hindu temples, the stone engravings in Buddhist stupas, the thangka paintings in the streets of Thamel, and many other age-old mythical stories found in texts and scriptures.

After living in Australia for almost a decade he fell in love with tattooing and started his journey as a tattoo artist.

Nirman is now located in Wexford town and is the owner of Moksa Tattoo Studio. Nirman is a very calm, positive person, and we wanted to express this through the website. We stayed away from the typical up-close tattoo studio photography style, and suggested nice calm imagery of the tattooist at work in his surroundings. The body of work automatically updates through instagram feeds so that Nirman can focus on what he does best.
