Go Beyond

These are my standard packages, but I'm available for custom projects too. If you have something different in mind, let's talk about it.

My process

1

Discovery

We'll have an initial chat to discuss your branding project and your goals. I'll help you choose the right package and give you an early estimate of the delivery timeline.

2

Consultation

If you need deeper assistance in planning your brand strategy, I can run a brand strategy workshop with you. This will give you insight into your business's goals, values, voice, and tone, and help create a foundation to build your brand on.

3

Initial Design

I'll create a series of initial design concepts for your brand identity, including logo designs and colour palettes. Your feedback will be crucial at every step, and we'll work together to refine and narrow down the options.

4

Final Selection

When you're happy with an option, I'll finalise it and create any additional assets that are part of your chosen package.

If you decide you want more brand applications later, we can always discuss adding them on.

5

Delivery

You'll receive the completed designs in the highest quality formats, along with basic guidelines for how to apply them

With the Illuminate package, you'll also receive a full brand guidelines document that details how your brand will live in the world.
