Who I help

Every job is different and my clients range from ambitious start-ups to established brands in need of a new lease of life.

Brief me to develop your brand from scratch or if you’re looking for a fresh perspective then consider me an extension of your marketing team.

If your business helps people live life to the full and you’re looking to invest in your brand, then I’d love to chat whether your project is large or small.

How I help

I always do as much as possible in-house. I’ll be your main point of contact, the strategic thinker and creator of most of the design work – but if some extra magic is needed then I have a fantastic network of specialists to reach out to. From copywriting to web development, photography to animation – if I can’t do it I’ll know someone who can.

This means I can offer more bespoke services, ensure the best line-up for each job and operate on a par with bigger agencies. Everyone’s a winner!

“Contacting Louise was the best decision I’ve made in a long time. She coached me to see how I can build my visual brand and I couldn’t be happier!
