I’m currently looking for 1–2 new branding/design projects over the next month! Happy to help on retainer, or with one-off projects.

I especially love working with wellness, lifestyle, hospitality, and product-based brands that want a visual identity or print design assets that feel distinctive and built to last.

If you’re launching something new, let’s chat. Or feel free to pass my name along to someone who might need a brand designer 😊

Swipe to see how I gave Indalu Game Reserve’s signage a glow-up! 👀

We had the most incredible experience and a 'pinch me' moment at 🐘

The old signs didn’t quite match the incredible, up-close elephant encounters and warm, unforgettable experience guests actually get here - so we brought in a look that feels more premium, polished, and purposefully wild 🐘🌿

Refreshed colors, clearer layout, and bolder visuals now welcome visitors with the magic they’re about to experience inside.

Because good design shouldn’t just point the way, it should set the tone 🪄

Thank you for choosing me as your creative partner!

📍 The Brand Behind The Beacon

From idea to open doors - this is how we built a local grocer brand that feels like home 🤩

From an idea in my sketchbook… to a full-fledged grocer with shelves stocked and a story to tell 🥳😎

This is what it looks like when branding goes beyond digital - it builds trust, place, and community 🙌

Thank you for trusting me with your logo design ✨️👌🏻

Sneak peek at my latest passion project 🚢 Luxewave Luxury Voyages

I rarely create minimal luxury logotypes so I decided to challenge myself for this project 😎

Luxewave Voyages is a luxury travel agency that organizes high-end travel experiences, including cruises, beach resorts, and adventure packages 🏖️🌴

More on this project coming soon - can’t wait for you to see more 💎

I don't share much of myself around here, so I thought I'd show my face for a change and share a bit about me 😊

👩‍🎨 During the week, you’ll find me helping businesses build brands that truly reflect who they are and connect with their ideal clients.

🐎 On weekends, I’m likely out on horseback, exploring the countryside that I now call home.

📌 My design journey began in 2019 when we swapped city life for the calm of the countryside, and with fewer job opportunities in the countryside, I decided it was the perfect time to start my own thing.

🙌 What began as a few branding passion projects has now turned into a full-fledged design business - don't get me wrong, it's not all glamorous as I still struggle with quiet periods and self-doubt, but I am grateful to be able to do what I love 🤗

Chosen mood board for Wagtail - A whimsical dog donut brand 🍩🐕

Swipe to see my 2 mood board concepts for this brand👆

🪄 Mood Board 1: Playful Pastels focuses on a playful style with pastel colors and hand-drawn illustrations, that target pet owners who enjoy a fun approach to pet treats, and add a personalized touch that sets the brand apart.

🌚 Mood Board 2: Playful and vibrant, aiming to capture the fun and joy associated with both dogs and donuts. The bold color palette and outlined drawing style create a balance between energy and softness.

Struggling with low engagement? 🤔 Here's something I see often:

Many businesses assume it's because people don’t understand their product, or that they need to post more often. But often, the real issue is inconsistent branding that ends up confusing your audience 🙈

Simply put 👉 When your brand message isn't clear, people/your audience won’t connect with it, and that confusion might be costing you.

What is your experience/do you think is the biggest reason for low engagement?

I'm so excited to finally share my most recent project I worked on for Wagtail 🐶

A nutritious dog donut brand, driven by a commitment to transparency and quality in the pet food industry.

The goal? To establish a strong presence in the pet market by embodying a unique, playful, and whimsical feeling – just like visiting a delightful donut shop 🧑‍🍳

I achieved this by creating custom logo elements and incorporating brand elements that make Wagtail an obvious choice for our target market. 🎨

The hand-drawn illustrations add a personal touch, engaging customers (and their pets) in a delightful brand experience. ✨
