Hi I'm Elly

I work with small businesses and start-ups to create beautiful brands, websites and print work. Working closely with my clients through the design process I help them to find the very best creative solution for their business.

With everyone glued to a phone or a computer these days, and most people’s first point of contact with any business is online. With the right foundations routed in a brand that communicates your message or a website that is easy to navigate and looks professional with clear typography, imagery and messaging you can get your customer onside before you’ve even spoken a word.

I have had the pleasure of working with people who are passionate about what they do, and I am incredibly proud of being able to help them communicate it to others through effective and creative design.

Going Solo

Prior to deciding to work for myself I worked for eight years in-house and agencyside for various companies in London and Surrey. I gained a great deal of industry experience working as part of design and marketing teams in different sectors including architecture, entertainment, technology and cosmetics.

It was when I became a mum that I came to the conclusion that I wanted to work for myself. So, I took the ever so slightly scary step out on my own. It was one of the best decisions I ever made.

I love working directly with clients, it’s the most rewarding way to create beautiful design. Helping to develop and make someone’s brand vision a reality means so much to my clients and I feel honoured to be a part of their journey.
