Branding / Identity & Design

A brand identity built to work, not just to launch

Logos are the easy part. The real job is building a visual system — colour, type, tone, guidelines — that holds together across every touchpoint your customers actually see. I design the whole system, not just the mark.

The system

One identity, applied everywhere it needs to work

A logo on its own is decoration. An identity is the set of rules that lets anyone on your team make something on-brand without asking you first.

Mark & logo suite

Primary logo plus the variations you'll actually need — stacked, icon-only, mono — so it never gets stretched or recoloured badly by someone in a hurry.

Colour & type system

A palette and type pairing chosen for how it behaves in the real world: on a dark background, in Google Ads, printed on a van.

Naming conventions within the brand

Product names, service tiers, internal project names — a consistent naming logic so your offering doesn't read like five different companies.

Brand guidelines

A working reference document, not a 40-page PDF nobody opens — clear enough that a freelancer or new hire gets it right first time.

If your brand identity only works on a business card, it isn't finished.
How it runs

From first call to a system you can hand to anyone

01

Discovery

I ask about your customers, your competitors, and where the current identity is already breaking down — not just what you like the look of.

02

Direction

I bring two or three genuinely different visual directions, not ten timid variations on one idea.

03

Build-out

The chosen direction gets built into a full system — logo, colour, type, imagery style, applied to your real touchpoints.

04

Guidelines & handover

You get a reference document and source files, so the identity survives long after the project ends, with or without me.
