We are a boutique creative studio established in 2013 specialising in creating meaningful brands that inspire connection.
Led by branding expert Cara Bendon - featured by the BBC, The Guardian, Top Drawer, and Google for Startups - we believe in the power of brand storytelling, and the skill and nuance of human-led design, especially in today’s digital world.
WHO WE WORK WITH
You’re a founder who has validated your offer, you know your customers and now your brand needs to catch up.
You might have worked with a designer before and come away with something that looked nice but didn't move the needle. Your eye has sharpened since then, and you know the gap between where you are and where you want to be isn't about working harder - it's about showing up differently.
You're not just looking for someone to execute a brief, you want a collaborator who will get beneath the skin of your business, challenge your assumptions where needed and build a brand on strong foundations, not just something pretty.
If you're ready to be guided as much as you're ready to be heard, we'll get on well!
What we do
-
Strong brands start with strong foundations. Our brand strategy services include:
Brand positioning
Brand values & mission finding
Brand naming
Tone of Voice
Competitor analysis
-
We design complete brand identities - considered, crafted and built on strategic foundations - that communicate who you are with clarity and conviction, and that continue to work for you as your business grows.
-
On a crowded shelf or in a customer's hands, packaging is your most powerful silent salesperson. We design ecommerce packaging that stops the scroll, earns the unboxing moment, and keeps customers coming back.
-
Your website is the hub of your business. We design and build Shopify stores and Squarespace websites that are as strategically sharp as they are beautiful, with the option to add website copy that's written to convert, not just fill space.
-
The brands that convert are brands that connect with their audience. We shape how you show up across social media, email and beyond - weaving a consistent brand story through every touchpoint.
-
Bringing 17 years of brand and design expertise directly to business owners and their teams. Whether in the room or online, our workshops are practical, honest and grounded in real industry experience - giving attendees clear frameworks and fresh perspective they can put to work immediately.
