Jules designed our catering menu for Smoked on High BBQ. She was extremely easy to work with and her work was amazing. We’ve worked with other designers before that we seem to have constant back and forths with about mistake or errors, but we didn’t have anything like that with Oddley. Everything was accurate and spelled correctly on the very first draft, which was refreshing. We will try to use Oddley as much as possible and recommend you to, too! More...

What makes a great website?
A great website has to be intuitive - even if someone has never seen it before, they should arrive at the website and easily be able to navigate it and get the information they seek quickly.

What sorts of printing projects do you usually cater for?
Business and marketing materials including business cards, brochures, flyers, stationery, and more. I provide custom and creative printing solutions for anything you can think of, in collaboration with a local print shop.
Describe your creative process.
I consult with the client to discover their needs and goals for the project. I will make notes and do research to learn about the specific industry or community around the clients business. I then proceed to rough sketches and drafts for the design project, followed by digital rendering. If the client requests to see concept work, I will send over preliminary sketches for feedback. After I receive feedback, I incorporate it into my design and proceed with final digital design to be sent off to the client for final approval.
What information do you need from a client before you can start work?
All information about the project, specific requests for the design, visual inspiration, deadline, and budget.
What do you love most about your job?
Being creative and coming up with great designs to help my clients achieve their business goals.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I love working independently and being my own boss. Having creative freedom and the freedom to make my own schedule is very rewarding!
Why should our clients choose you?
I'm a thoughtful designer, engaging critical and design thinking into all of my projects. I look for long-lasting partnerships with companies to work on and enhance their brand over time and consistent collaboration.
Visual Brand Design
Branding your business and having a clear image to project to the world is one of the most important aspects to ensuring success. I can work with you to create a clear and consistent identity for your business that can be used across everything you do.
Website Design
If you have a business today, you need a website - no doubt about it. I work with you to establish the goals, call to action, look & feel, and overall user experience of your website. Then I work with a developer to design and develop an entirely custom website for your business.
Social Media Kit
Once we have your business branding finished, you need to make sure you have an online presence. I can work with you to determine which social media accounts are relevant for your business and then get them entirely set up and ready for you to post. I will also be available to you on-call if you run into any issues with the accounts.
Print Material Design
Flyers, brochures, business cards, advertisements, and anything else we can think of. I'll work with you to design or revamp any printed materials you need.
Typography and Editorial
Projects with large amounts of text can be overwhelming, but that's where I can come in. This could be a yearly report for your business or maybe a novel you're self-publishing.
