Bright Ideas for Bold

Brand Builders

Here at Hello Designs, I design vibrant brand identities that turn heads, capture hearts – and power websites that actually work. (Say goodbye to "sorry, my website's a bit rubbish" disclaimers.)

You’ve got the ideas, the energy, the vision. Let’s create a brand identity that shows the world exactly who you are and will take your business where you want to go. (And let’s be honest – life’s too short for boring brands and weary websites, right?)

Heard

without

word!

Your brand is your voice when you’re not in the room.

Let’s make sure it’s saying all the right things – with clarity, confidence and a little bit of sparkle.

Because branding isn’t just visuals – it’s the vibe you leave behind, the feeling people remember and the reason they say, “this is exactly who I want to work with.” And when it comes to achieving your income and visibility goals, that couldn’t be more important.

Ready to make your brand unmistakably you?

You don’t need Rescuing. You need reflecting.

I’m here to help you see your brand with fresh clarity – then turn that brilliance into visuals that elevate, energise and actually work for you.

You’ve already done the hard bit.

Building something meaningful, fuelled by passion and purpose. The magic is already there, it just needs reflecting back.

That’s where I come in. With 24 years of design experience (and a sixth sense for what makes your brand tick), I help women translate the heart of their business into visuals that feel 100% authentically them.

Think of me as your brand mirror ball — shining light on the best of you and scattering it everywhere your dream clients are looking.

You just bring the purpose – I’ll bring the design chops.

No jargon or ego.

Just a collaborative process that turns all your ideas into something clear, confident, and unmistakably you.

Do less.

Mean More.

When your visuals are rooted in clarity and meaning, your brand does the heavy lifting – attracting, connecting and selling while you’re off having a cuppa.

That’s why every project begins with my Brand Disco Framework — a clarity experience designed to uncover your essence, your audience, and your magic. I take your ideas and, with 24 years of design know-how, reflect them back as clear insights that form the foundation of your brand.

The result? Design with purpose — so you can show up with ease and let your brand do the talking.

My SHINE Process...

Whether we’re building your brand identity, website – or both – my SHINE process keeps everything purposeful, personal, and powerfully aligned.

Here’s how we’ll create magic together – step by shiny step…

  • A hand holding a small mirror reflecting a lake, mountains, and sky.

    S is for Soul Searching

    We start with the deep stuff. Using my Brand Disco Framework, we uncover your brand’s essence – purpose, values, voice, and vision. It’s the heart behind the visuals.

    These aren’t just nice-to-haves – they’re the foundation for a brand that connects and converts. Research shows consistent branding can increase revenue by up to 23% – and that kind of consistency starts with clarity, not just style.

  • Two hands holding wooden sticks or tubes.

    H is for Hatching a Plan

    This is where we start turning insight into direction – I create your Brand Disco Playbook, a strategic roadmap that guides every design and content decision, whether we’re building a visual identity, a website, or the full brand universe.

  • A teacup with a floral pattern sitting on a matching saucer, filled with water, with a tiny toy astronaut figure floating on a pink floatation device inside the teacup.

    I is for Infusing Personality

    Here’s where strategy meets creativity. Whether we’re crafting your brand identity or designing your website, this is where your personality takes the spotlight. From logo marks to layout, I translate what we’ve uncovered into bold, beautifully aligned visuals that feel unmistakably you.

  • A white cat lying on a bed with a patterned bedspread, looking directly at the camera.

    N is for Nailing the Details

    The magic is in the fine-tuning. Every colour, font, image, and interaction is refined to not only look gorgeous but work hard for your business – connecting with the right people and guiding them effortlessly through your brand or site.

  • A glittery disco ball with rings around it resembling Saturn, a cherry stem on top, and a small fruit above it on a plain white background.

    E is for Empowering Your Brand

    You won’t just get polished files or a shiny new site – you’ll walk away with clarity, confidence, and the tools to show up consistently, proudly, and with a bit of sparkle. Because the real power of great design? It frees you up to focus on what you do best.
