Describe your creative process.
Over the past 14 years, I have refined a design process that works for clients big and small, from all industries. How? Thanks to one simple rule: always consider the customer. The design isn’t for me or you. It’s for your target audience.
1. Consultation
We start the design process with a quick questionnaire about your business and establish a design brief.
2. Research
I learn more about your target audience. Who they are, where they are and what will appeal to them.
3. Ideas
The creativity starts here as I do a lot of thinking and sketching, sharing the best of the early ideas with you.
4. Delivery and feedback
The strongest idea is presented to you and we work together to finalise your new brand.

What information do you need from a client before you can start work?
Initially, as many detailed answers to the questions within the questionnaire as possible. I find it beneficial to have a kick-off meeting, either face-to-face or over a video call.
I use a simple contract that helps to clear up things like copyright ownership (you will own this), payment terms and schedules, and other common areas. A 40% deposit is typically required for most projects, with the remainder due on satisfactory competition.
What do you love most about your job?
I love working with a large array of people across different industries – I have worked with businesses and individuals from science, tech, retail, media & entertainment, healthcare, charity, and education sectors.
Being creative comes naturally and the creative process is what I love the most about my job. I enjoy experimenting with colour, typography and photography.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Freedom. The chance to help small businesses, entrepreneurs, start-ups and charities.
Why should our clients choose you?
I have over 14 years experience as a designer across branding, marketing, print and digital.
I have a huge passion for anything design-related but my love for logo design grows with each identity I create. I care about the details and get that the details separate you from your competitors and make you more memorable in the eyes of your customers.
I'm based in Dundee, Scotland but work with clients all over the UK, including Gartner, King's College London, Kwikfit, Royal Society of Edinburgh, Girl Guides Scotland, St. Andrews First Aid, Clash Music, Hutton Institute, amongst others. I have also created brands for hundreds of small businesses and entrepreneurs.
