Design Services

Your brand is a reflection of your vision and values. 

Your ideal customers are seeking to buy from businesses they can trust. When your brand and website is clear on how you serve and bring solutions, you build a loyal customer base who is ready to work with you.

Ready to stand out from the crowd?

01/ Brand Identity

Hiring a brand designer ensures standing out from the crowd (hello dream customer), cohesive visuals across platforms (hello customer loyalty), and the best part? You can do what you’re good at, sooner (hello sales). 

  • We look at your business goals and audience to work out a visual strategy using colour, typography, imagery and setting the overall tone and aesthetic of your brand.

  • The logo is like the post stamp of your brand and one of the key visual elements your customers will associate with your business. We create one primary logo and various secondary logos to work in different settings.

  • We can create custom type, patterns and illustrations as the finishing touches to pulling a cohesive and unique brand look together.

  • Custom social media templates in your branding to set you up for a consistent look across all your touch points including social media. *Not included with Brand Intensives

  • We can work with you specifically on marketing and strategy for carrying your brand across socials and how best to show up to your audience as your brand. *Not included with Brand Intensives

  • Depending on your business needs, we can create everything from business cards, letter heads, flyers, pricing or media guides, signage and packaging that show off your brand and create an elevated experience across every touch point. *Not included with Brand Intensives

  • A curated selection of fonts for your brand and how to use them.

  • All branding packages will come with a Brand Guideline to ensure that after the files are handed over, you are confident in how to use your branding across your business and keep your brand looking elevated and cohesive.

02 / Website Design & Development

Imagine an online home for your business where dream customers feel seen, heard and immediately understand your vision. 

I build strategic and modern websites that focus on all the good stuff and cut out the fluff. A website that is both beautiful and highly functional. You can trust that this investment will help you to stay out among others in your industry and drive more inquiries and bookings. 

  • An immersive Squarespace or ShowIt website design package that is set up for you as a business owner to edit and update your site.

  • The package will be customised according to your needs but a typical Website Intensive in a week could look like:

    • Website design and development of up to 7 custom designed pages (home + e.g. about, services, contact, blog, gallery, faqs, testimonials)

    • Optimized for web and mobile

    • Responsive Design

    • Sourcing of free stock images to suit your band

    • Basic SEO (initial keyword research) & Google Analytics

    • Social Media Integration

    • Newsletter Integration

    • Post video on how to edit/update the website

    • Website preparation from wireframe design layouts, sourcing fonts, colours, backend setup

    • Online Shop Set Up can be added to your website package (enquire for pricing)

    • Coming Soon/Landing Page

    • Promotional Pop Up

    • Social media links page

    • Mini Brand Refresh to elevate your entire branding experience at once

    • Free 15min discovery call (if needed) or an email to check that we are a good fit and go over your website goals.

    • Lock in your project into the studio calendar after the 50% deposit is paid and the contract signed.

    • Set you up in your client portal with a streamlined process to make this website intensive as easy and simple as possible! You will fit out a questionnaire and add the content needed for your site.

    • If working with a copywriter, I will send through a sitemap for them to work with. If not, I will provide a framework with prompts to help you write copy for each web page.

    • A week before your starting date, we will have a Zoom call to go over your project details, the sitemap and make sure we’re on the same page with our plan.

    • Day 1 - Creative Direction & Prep: I will sort your template, set up your branding fonts, colours and images and organise your page layouts.

    • Day 2 - Homepage: I will design and develop the bulk of your homepage and build out sections that will make up the foundation of your site. You will receive an email that afternoon with this page design layout to provide feedback and any revisions.

    • Day 3-4 - Edits & Development: Make any changes that morning and then build out the rest of the website pages. Again, another email will go out in the afternoons to check the designs and make any edits necessary.

    • Day 5 - Finalise Site: I’ll make any final adjustments and then finish the site with mobile optimisation and basic SEO set up. The domain will be transferred over and a final recorded Zoom call scheduled that day to go over the backend of the site and how to use it.

03 / Design Day Intensive

The perfect solution to getting your design to-do’s ticked off in just one day. You’ll receive 1:1 attention by a professional designer on your most pressing marketing needs - great for smaller projects like social media graphics, branded stationery, e-book designs or even a mini brand refresh. Say goodbye to back and forth emails over months and instead get all your design files delivered into your inbox by the end of the working day. For more details on how this process works, see here.

  • Get a bunch of content transformed into branded social media graphics for your different platforms or create custom templates that match your brand so you can use them over and over again.

  • Take your branding and turn into stationery like business cards, thank you cards, stickers, pricing guides etc. all ready for the printer.

  • Take content and get it turned into a well-designed and on brand PDF such as an E-Book.

  • Take your brand and get it printer ready for designs such as window signage, wall decals, posters etc.

  • I can create a series of branded email headers for your business or specific design layouts for certain email campaigns you have coming up.

04 / Master Your Brand

Feeling stuck about your current branding and not sure what to do about it? Master Your Brand session takes a look at your current online presence and then gives actionable steps on how to move forward and what strategies to use to better reach and connect with your ideal audience.

Think of me as your business wingwoman guiding you through the branding stages you feel overwhelmed with. I’ll do an audit of your current branding from your social media and/or website and then jump onto a 75 minute Zoom call to discuss actionable steps and strategy you can take next to elevate your branding.

  • A power-packed session where we talk through an audit of your current branding with what is working/what’s not and strategise next steps to help you move forward with clarity and confidence. A great DIY option for elevating your brand on a budget or making tweaks without a full rebrand.

  • Sophie is amazing! And so easy to work with. I found her super down to earth, flexible but also great at guiding me as I navigated what I wanted my brand to 'say'. Instead of wasting my time experimenting and trying to make logo in Canva, I loved seeing my ideas visualised and communicated for me in such a simple and strategic way.

  • It’s not often that someone comes back from a design brief with so many incredible options to choose from, that it has you in tears (good tears!). I hired Sophie for a design day, and I’m so glad I did - she totally nailed it. Sophie listened carefully to my vision, concepts, and priorities. She was able to give me something I’d envisioned, but added her own intuition and elevated class to the outcome. She was professional, communicated clearly, and was also lovely to deal with. I would hire Sophie for all my design needs if I could! 

    Liv Buys - Olive & Page

  • Sophie has recently created a dedicated online home for the dance side of my business. She has created a website that compliments my current branding beautifully all the while helping it stand apart with some fresh colours and a beautiful curved theme throughout. Sophie’s approach is friendly and thoughtful and her work is delivered in a prompt and professional manner with great communication throughout. I look forward to working with you again in the future Sophie!

  • Sophie blew us away with her communication, efficency and incredible designs which she nailed in every sense of the word. A seamless experience. Thanks so much Sophie!
