“Laura helped me with the visual rebranding of my business, and absolutely nailed it. I had a vague idea of what I wanted, and she helped flesh out the exact concept, creating something that was original and truly reflective of my brand. She was incredibly patient as it took me a while to get back to her on a few things, and was very flexible in working around my schedule. I would highly recommend working with her if you're wanting a truly original brand that helps you stand out from the crowd.”

Questions

So I’m the girl without a niche – against popular advice. Why? Because I love design regardless of the industry. Niching can result in every project looking and tasting the same. Boring and flavourless is the last thing I want for you and your brand.

By applying tried and tested brand science and mixology, I create the best chemistry for your unique brand AND your industry. I conjure your individual brand flavour taking into consideration all the ingredients you like to create the perfect-fit identity for you.

I love working with all creative businesses from e-comm to interior designers, landscape designers, architects, photographers, real estate, wellbeing and beauty brands. I’ve recently worked with a wide range of industry types, some of which you can check out on my PROJECTS PAGE. I’d love to add your industry to the list.

I’m happy to work on all size projects. Brand identity, website worlds, book design, packaging, social media and stationery design are the gin to my martini. Before starting The Design Room, I had 15+ years working as a graphic designer in digital and print media.

I offer a VIP DESIGNER FOR A DAY service and you can work with me for a half day or full day to get all of those smaller jobs ticked off your list. Find out more and book a call to discuss your project HERE.

Think of it as a sip and sample. It’s a chat to discover your goals and what you hope to achieve in your project. We’ll discuss the pricing and inclusion options that I feel will help you the most. And you can ask me anything about how my brand science and mixology works.

Book a free discovery zoom or phone CALL HERE to find out if we’re the right fit for each other.

Once your project has kicked off, we’ll toast via Zoom for our strategy call and project feedback.

Throughout the project, we’ll use email. I sometimes like to send recorded videos if a visual explanation is needed.

Primary Logo
Your signature cocktail. It should be used in as many cases as possible as the ‘official’ way to identity your business.

Secondary Logo
An alternative take on your signature drink. It’s a simplified or more detailed version of your primary logo. This can be used when the main logo doesn’t suit. For example, a less detailed version will work better for smaller scale usage or a landscape version may better suit a website header.

Brand Mark
Your brand mark may sit with your logo or be a standalone element to your brand identity. This could be a symbol, icon or monogram of your business name. Think the Rolex crown, Chanel’s interlaced C’s, the red ribbon that signifies Mumm.

Submark
When you don’t need to use your main logo in a smaller scale setting, use a variation of your submark. These could work well on your social media posts, website footer, profile images or where a ‘stamp’ graphic is appropriate. They can include your business name and/or your tagline or brand mark.

Slipping into my brand lab, I provide you with a detailed brand strategy questionnaire which extracts all the elements I need to concoct your brand identity. This is a really useful document for you to use as you move forward in business. My clients love this document and learn a lot about their business in the strategy process.

After I’ve reviewed the strategy document, l move into mixologist mode. I research your target audience, brand positioning and industry to select the key ingredients that make up your brand identity.

Together we’ll work on a Pinterest board, adding the visual ingredients which starts the moodboarding process. Then we’ll have our brand strategy call where we will discuss the strategy and direction for your brand identity.

If you’d like a little taster of some brand strategy questions you can download my free questionnaire HERE.  It’s a condensed version of what you’d get when working with me but still a valuable step in understanding your brand.

Your brand, your way, your recipe.
