rely on each other to ‘do our best’ under pressure.
Not only are we putting on a high profile local

linked with it. To have strong, clear event branding communicates professionalism and thanks to
May Sivertsen, we have clarity in creativity, which works well across all communication. Working

Describe your creative process.
The design process
Research
In order for me to start designing your brand identity I will need all relevant information about your business. You will have to fill out the Trumpet's creative brief: I listen. I learn. I question. And then I create.
Presentation
The creative brief helps ensure that everyone involved in a project are on the same page. Having agreed on the brief, chances are that you will be absolutely thrilled with the work I present. And if you're not, well, I will not give up until you are more than thrilled.
Delivery
Once the final design concept is chosen and approved, I will deliver all files along with instructions on how to maintain consistent brand image, using the brand guidelines.
What information do you need from a client before you can start work?
You will have to fill out the Trumpet's creative brief. You can find a PDF of this creative brief in 'links' below.
What do you love most about your job?
My mission is to create successful brand identities and visual communication for my clients. Taking time to learn about my clients’ businesses and their challenges, I develop thoughtful designs, characterised by meticulous attention to detail. Building long term relationships with my clients means the better I know you, the better my work becomes.
I love every aspect of this.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Having worked as a graphic designer for several top advertising and design companies in Oslo and Dublin for ten years I was made redundant (!) and that was surprisingly the best thing that could have happened to me!
