Esther designed our wedding orders of service and table plan. She did an amazing job, was extremely patient, and has a great eye. The stationary was one of our favourite things about the day. More...

As a virtual PA, not only do I need to have a professional appearance, but so does all of my literature. This is why I use Ocean Breeze Creative. There is a great saying that "You can get it done cheap, or you can get it done RIGHT". I have made the mistake in the past of trying to get things like business cards done cheaply, and regretted the decision within minutes of seeing the result. Now I would never go anywhere else for my stationery and other design work, than Ocean Breeze. I am very happy to recommend Esther to everyone. More...

Describe your creative process.
My creative process is very flexible, depending on what my client requires. I'll find out the ethos of my customer and their business, and that will directly influence how I approach their design. I'll often start by researching current trends, and the looks that my customer's business competitors are going for - this means I can design something that fits in well with the industry design norms (so that any potential customers will implicitly trust my customers business) as well as designing something modern and fresh that puts my client above the rest!
What information do you need from a client before you can start work?
Most importantly, I need to know about my client's business. My design will represent the business in visual form, so the more I know about it, the better! I'll find out the services it provides, the qualities it wants to portray (e.g. professional, friendly, premium, good value for money, etc.), and the people behind it. Finding out all of this will result in a design that fits completely in with the business, so that future customers will know exactly what they're getting, and will therefore be more likely to choose my client or the product they're offering.
I'll also need to know exactly what my client requires - the more specific, the better! The more I know in advance, the fewer revisions will be needed, and the happier both I and my client will be.
What do you love most about your job?
I love all things design! Creating something beautiful that suits my client perfectly is a satisfying and rewarding process, that I always enjoy loads. It feels good to get to know my client, and then design a product that helps to make their business grow or give them that needed boost in profits. Seeing my designs used in real life is always a buzz; I don't think that will ever get old...
What inspired you to start your own business?
I've been designing and illustrating for fun and as a hobby for about 6 years now, and it was always a dream to do it as a living. So, in September 2017, I decided to jump in at the deep end, and start doing what I loved as a job. Since then I've worked with a whole range of different clients, and really enjoyed the variety of projects that I've had the privilege to work on.
Why should our clients choose you?
You should choose to work with me for 3 reasons:
1) I'm creative and flexible, and promise to design something that fits your requirements exactly, as well as providing you with new ideas and unique designs.
2) I promise to keep designing until you're happy, however many revisions it takes.
3) I provide a service that's great value-for-money, and promise to not change my prices after the quote (unless you change your requirements).
