My first ever hot Matcha on ‘holiday’ while doing a sneaky little bit of work at Mitre 10 cafe while hubby shops and Hudson plays. Not sure how we end up in Mitre10 no matter what part of the country we go to. 😂
On another note - I just spied some branding I completed earlier this year for Langdons Dental while driving round Christchurch - looking smart! (Even in this dismal weather!!)

It was a pleasure bringing Southern Bred Southern Reared online with a website that showcases not only their exceptional Standardbred studs, but also the people, passion and beautiful Southern landscapes behind the collective.

Alongside the new website, we also gave their existing logo a gentle refresh. Sometimes the smallest changes make the biggest difference. By refining the heavy lines, introducing a more elegant typeface and adding a little more breathing room, the brand now better reflects the quality, professionalism and prestige of the studs it represents.

The result is a website and brand that feel timeless, premium and proudly Southern.

Thank you to the SBSR team for trusting us with this project. It's been a jolly good one. 🐘

Over the past year, Gemma has spent a lot of time refining exactly where Proactive HR Ltd adds the most value for growing businesses. That thinking hasn't just shaped her services—it has also shaped the way she presents them.

After launching a beautiful one-page website with us last year, Gemma approached Jolly Elephant Design to expand it into a comprehensive, informative website that better reflects the depth of support ProactiveHR offers.

The result is a website that's easy to navigate, packed with practical information, and designed to help businesses quickly find the HR solutions they need.

Whether you're looking to strengthen your people processes, improve your systems, or simply understand how ProactiveHR can support your business - take a look.

Bruce and Phil have been a blast to work with at ARC Agribusiness
I have so enjoyed bringing their vision alive through creating a brand and website for their agricultural consultancy business.

We wanted to strike a balance between professional/corporate and a sense of relatability. Bruce and Phil not only bring a wealth of experience to the table, but they are also genuinely down-to-earth individuals who can easily connect with their rural clients. Capturing this essence was crucial!

So cool to see one of my designs come to life in the form of a beautiful wooden sign!

🎉 Exciting news for Christchurch! We've just wrapped up an amazing project for a brand-new dental clinic, and we are excited share it with you.

Working with our dream clients, we brought their vision to life, creating a brand and website that’s as welcoming as it is professional. The clinic is decked out in a clean blue with a hint of warmth, capturing that perfect blend of hygiene and hominess so we carried this through in the branding.

Wishing the team at Langdon's Dental all the best as they embark on this new chapter.
