WEST WAY

Hey 2024! 😉

2023 held a lot of beautiful memories and gave me a chance to grow immensely.

Highlights of 2023:
•⁠ ⁠I got to work with so many amazing brands
•⁠ ⁠I settled into my new home (George)
•⁠ ⁠I fell pregnant with our first baby girl (Due Feb’ 24)
•⁠ ⁠I had so many new adventures
•⁠ ⁠I made so many amazing friends
• I traveled to Israel

So many things happened, but as much as I am grateful for what 2023 brought us, I am excited to see what 2024 holds for my business, family and community. May this year be filled with indescribable amounts of peace and lots and lots of laughter.

Lastly, I’m back in the office and ready to help you. Contact me at [email protected]. 🩷

BRAND REVEAL 👀

Culinary Connections focuses on bringing back connection by allowing you to host without the hassle of being in the kitchen.

I’m so excited to see this business take off! Thank you for making me a part of your journey! 🥰

The weather is shifting, marking the official arrival of summer. 🥳☀️ So, to get into the spirit, I decided to share some fun, vibrant, and playful summer colour combos.

I thoroughly enjoy collaborating with brands such as Zeal Jewelry! 😍 Jess, the exceptionally talented individual responsible for this brand, has this incredible drive and a super sharp creative sense. It was a blast working side-by-side with her on this project! 💖💖

Client Review 🥰✨

thank you for letting me be a part of your journey.

Check out her Instagram – her jewellery is seriously one-of-a-kind and oh-so-beautiful! 😍

There is a deeper reason for my smiley emoji on my computer. I stuck it there to remind myself to smile and not to take life too seriously! Life is beautiful and often way too short! Don't overthink it!

I LOVE what I do but I also get days when the hours feel long and the work is hard. When this happens, I know it's time to get away from my desk and do something fun, like seeing clients—the best part of my job. 😊

So this is your friendly reminder to take a break and do something or see someone that makes you smile.

Happy Friday friends! 😍🤩

Packaging Design for Paros - Natural olive oil from Greece. 🫒


Packaging design plays a critical role in distinguishing a product from its competitors on the shelf. And when it comes to a premium product like Paros natural olive oil, a captivating packaging design can elevate the overall customer experience. 😁

Let's team up to create a brand that looks great and speaks to your customers. 😍

As your brand designer, I'll work closely with you to understand your business, your customers, and your unique strengths. We'll use this knowledge to craft a visual identity that sets you apart from the competition and effectively communicates your brand message. Together, we'll collaborate to ensure that you love the end result and are excited to share your new brand with the world. 🤩

"Sometimes, it's the simplest designs that leave the biggest impact.” This quote has stayed with me from the day I started my business. With this design I kept this in mind. It may appear straightforward, but it's the careful attention to detail and the thoughtful composition that make it truly special. As a designer, I'm constantly reminded that less is often more, and this brief design is a perfect example of that principle in action. 😊

I'm feeling a little nostalgic today, and I can't help but think of all the amazing people who follow me - your support and feedback mean the world to me. So to everyone who's been following my work, thank you from the bottom of my heart. I'm inspired to continue seeking simplicity and clarity in my own work, and I hope this design sparks a similar inspiration in you. 🫶

Clayful Creations - Logo Design and Packaging 😊

I did not get this one done in time but I thought I would share it anyway. 🫶

It’s been a minute since I’ve posted an introduction. 😊 I thought it was time to show you the face behind the brand.

I am so thankful to each and every one of you, following along with me here on this platform. When I was little I dreamt of being an artist and being creative as a job. Being a designer is a dream come true - I cannot believe it’s happened. 🥺

In the past couple of months I’ve completely changed my website. After some trial and error I’ve found what worked for me. Here are five things I included that truly made a difference.

Your website is such an important marketing and communication tool. It is often the first impression you give to new potential customers. By creating a clear and high functioning website, with an ergonomic user-interface you open yourself up to new opportunities such as new customers, connections and many more.

Let me know in the comments what aspects or features of a website you have found to be really helpful. 😊👇🏻

I love searching for new fonts. I usually browse through adobe fonts way longer than I really need to. I feel like every font tells a different story and I get caught up in all the different places I can see a font being used. Maybe you all feel the same way?

Happy Monday! ☀️👀 I felt like it was important to talk about brand awareness. Building your brand is one thing, but actually capturing your target consumer is a whole other challenge. It doesn't matter who you are, from start-ups to big corporations, brand awareness will always be a factor crucial to a business’s success.

So why is brand awareness important? 👀

Brand awareness leads to trust. Essentially the more recognition your brand has, the more successful your brand or business will be. It is the foundation of acquiring a customer audience and helping them understand and become comfortable with your products and services, thus increasing your brand equity.

So above ⬆️ I’ve listed 5 ways that can help you create brand awareness. I hope these tips can help you reach your business goals! ✨

What is Colour Psychology? 🌈

Colour psychology is research proving the different ways in which our brain assigns emotional and psychological connections to colours.
So in short - it is the effect colour has on the way we think.

Why is this important in design? 🔔

Colour is the easiest aspect to remember when encountering new products or businesses. It can be used to communicate what the product/company is about as well as to stand out above everything around them. Studies have shown that a consumers purchase is largely based (often even sub-consciously) on the colour of the product.

I recently purchased The Colour Bible by Laura Perryman and it’s made me see colour in such a different way (excuse the pun). Colour is a powerful tool to communicate a companies message.

If you’re struggling to decide on a colour for your brand, please book a consultation with me. I would love to sit and discuss your business and guide you to choose the right colours for everything you aim to achieve. 😊
