Hiring a graphic designer brings a level of expertise and creativity that ensures your brand makes a lasting impression. I can help transform your ideas into visually compelling designs that resonate with your target audience. Whether it's a logo, brand identity, or marketing materials, working with a designer ensures consistency and quality across all your visuals. Ultimately, investing in good design will elevate your brand, build credibility, and help you attract more customers.
Working with a freelance designer / independent studio offers a personalised, tailored approach to your branding needs. You’ll work directly with a creative professional who is invested in your vision, ensuring that every design choice aligns with your business goals. Unlike larger agencies, freelancers provide flexibility, quicker turnaround times, and cost-effective solutions, all while offering high-quality, bespoke design work that stands out in the market. It's a collaborative and efficient way to bring your brand to life with attention to detail and creativity.
I offer a full suite of design services, specialising in branding and print design to create cohesive and impactful visual identities. As an all-around creative, I also provide printing services to bring your designs to life, ensuring quality from start to finish. Whether you need a striking logo, brand collateral, packaging, or promotional materials, I tailor every project to meet your unique needs and help your brand stand out with professional, high-quality designs.
To get started, simply reach out through my contact form or email me directly. We’ll discuss your project needs, goals, and vision, and I’ll provide a tailored proposal and timeline for the work.
The process begins with a deep dive into understanding your brand, target audience, and business objectives. I’ll then create concepts and iterate on designs until we have a cohesive brand identity that works across all touchpoints. The deliverables within each branding package are tailored to you and what your business requires, so please don't hesitate to get in touch to discuss your branding package.
Costs vary depending on the scope and complexity of each project. I offer competitive pricing and will provide a detailed quote based on your specific needs. Contact me to discuss your project, and I’ll send you a tailored proposal.
Absolutely! I will work with you closely at each step of the design process to tweak and amend the design, ensuring you are completely happy with the final design. To develop the best final result, I offer unlimited amends to the design. Once the project is completed, I am always happy to make further amends as well for a small additional charge.
Yes you will. Once the project has been signed off and the final invoice has been paid, you own full rights to all designs. I will supply you with all the final files including the original design file so you have everything you need.
If you’re launching a new business, rebranding, or need help elevating your current brand, I can guide you through the process. Branding is about creating a cohesive identity, while graphic design focuses on creating visuals for marketing materials, websites, and more. I can help you determine what best suits your needs.

Don't just take my word for it...
"I had the pleasure of working with Laura across two creative projects. Laura was the rare balance of both creative and diligent; it is obvious Laura has a strong process which is incredibly reassuring from a client perspective. Laura's communication was exceptional - very timely and very regular. Laura was very open to feedback and went above and beyond to ensure two high quality outcomes. I would highly recommend Laura for any project and/or ad-hoc creative work!"

"Laura created the most amazing logo and brand guidelines for my new business. She took the time to understand what my business was about, and created the most beautiful concepts exactly how I envisaged it and more, with detailed commentary on why she had chosen each design. She worked so quickly and has been so helpful in guiding me with additional bits after. I would highly recommend Laura to anyone!"
