Start your project.

Fill in the contact form on this page and tell me a little about the project. I’ll reply within two working days to arrange a call, ask a few more questions or send an initial proposal. There’s no obligation at that stage. It’s simply a chance to see whether I’m the right person to help.

Not at all. Some people arrive with a full brief. Others only know that something feels off, and that’s fine too. Part of my job is helping you work out what the project needs, whether that’s a logo, a full identity or something more strategic, before we decide what to design.

It’s usually one of a few things. The business has grown and the brand hasn’t. Your website, proposals and social media no longer look as though they belong together. You’re launching something new. Or you’ve started to feel a little awkward handing someone your card. Sometimes the answer is a full rebrand, but often it’s less than that, and I’ll tell you honestly which it is.

Then I’ll say so, and point you towards someone who might be where I can. A good project depends on both sides feeling it’s right, so it’s better to find that out in the first conversation than halfway through.

Every project has three stages. Discovery comes first, where I learn about your business, audience and competitors, then we agree what the brand should stand for and who it’s for. Design follows, where that thinking guides the logo, typography, colour and the wider visual system. Delivery comes last, where the identity is prepared for the places it will be used, from websites to print and signage.

Yes. I lead every project personally, from the first conversation to the final files. If a project needs extra skills such as photography, copywriting or web development, I can bring in trusted specialists, but I stay responsible for the creative direction and remain your main point of contact.

Enough to make sure the brand is right, but not so much that it takes over your week. Expect a couple of conversations at the start, a few points where I’ll ask for your feedback, and some quick decisions at key stages. The quicker the feedback, the quicker the project moves.

Yes. I’m based in Hull, but I work with businesses across the UK and internationally. Most projects are managed remotely, and it’s never affected the quality of the work or the working relationship.

Probably something close to it. I’ve worked with hospitality, healthcare, renewable energy and professional services businesses, among many others. Every project starts with research into your market and competitors, so I’m never designing blind. A fresh pair of eyes is often useful, too.

It rarely comes as a surprise, because we work through the thinking together before any design appears. I present each concept with the reasoning behind it, and we refine it together until the direction feels right. Revisions are built into every project and set out in your proposal, so you know exactly where you stand.

Every project is different, so there’s no fixed price list. As a guide, brand identity projects start from £1,500. What it costs depends on how much thinking the business needs, how many places the identity has to work and how much support you’d like afterwards. Budget is one of the first things we talk about, and I’ll always be honest about what’s achievable within yours. If you’re not sure what’s realistic, say so on the form and I’ll tell you what’s possible.

A full brand identity usually takes around six to eight weeks. That leaves time for discovery, strategy where it’s needed, design, feedback and refinement. Smaller projects are quicker. I agree timings with you before work begins, so you always know where things stand.

Payment is usually 50% upfront, with the balance due on completion. For larger projects, it can be split into three instalments, which we’d agree in your proposal before work begins. That way there are no surprises on either side.

That depends on what the business needs, but a full identity typically includes the logo, typography, colour palette, graphic elements and imagery direction, along with brand guidelines and practical applications. Where it helps, I begin with brand strategy and positioning. I don’t add deliverables to make a project look bigger. The aim is an identity that’s clear, distinctive and practical enough to use as the business grows.

Yes. I can design print materials such as stationery, brochures, menus, packaging and signage, and prepare the artwork so it’s ready for the printer. If you’d like advice on paper, finishes or choosing a printer, I’m happy to help with that too.

Yes. I’d always recommend a full visual identity, because it gives you a stronger first impression and the tools to stay consistent. But if a standalone logo is what you need, I’m happy to help with that too.

You do. Once the project is complete and the final invoice is settled, full ownership of the files and copyright transfers to you. You’ll receive everything you need to use your brand in any application.

That’s the aim. The guidelines cover how to use the logo, typography, colour and imagery, so anyone working on your brand, whether that’s a printer, a web developer or someone on your own team, can use it properly without needing to ask me.

Yes. I’m always available for follow-up work, whether that’s extra brand assets, print materials or updates as the business grows. Many clients come back, and I’m glad when they do. Consistency over time is what builds a strong brand.
