Brand Identity design Melbourne

I can think of nothing better than putting my creativity and artistry at the service of businesses that celebrate the good things in life — great food and even better wine, coffee worth getting out of bed for, ready made cocktails that don't compromise on taste and eateries with impeccable vibes.

Brand design is how we give your business depth, personality and style— not just a schmick website or a pretty face.
This is how we create a brand that's in demand and on the tip of everyone's tongues.
An enduring brand that stands the tests of time. 

Start your brand identity project

Here’s how it works

Brand Research

You'll first fill in an in-depth questionnaire and send through any visual inspiration and any existing design brief you may have before we jump in a 1:1 in-depth meeting to discuss everything about your business - your target market, it's existing brand identity (if you're already established) your brand strategy, your dream brand design, brand positioning, and how we can give you that competitive edge! We can also discuss any pressing thoughts, needs, or questions you may have (I'm all ears!) This will give me an in depth understanding of your businesses core essence and give me a solid foundation to begin on initial concepts for your visual identity.

Brand Design Ideation

From here I'll work on in-depth mood-boards showcasing different ways we can take your new brand design or brand refresh. This will cover various elements of a your brand's visual identity including logo design, brand fonts, brand graphics and colour palettes) This way we create a discussion and both understand exactly what you really like and what you don't, as well as what will be effective branding for your business which is our ultimate goal. We will work closely in this phase so there will be plenty of opportunity for feedback and to discuss everything so we know exactly what we will be aiming for in the next stage of the design process.

Logo Design & Branding

I will work on a visual identity document with two fully visualised initial designs and concepts (including real-life mockups so you can envision your new brand design in-use.) This will include logo concepts, brand fonts, brand colours and on-brand graphics. Once we've met and discussed your preferred direction, I continue to refine and develop all assets into a brand identity you truly love. When we're done you'll receive a final logo to use, and in-depth brand guidelines so you'll be equipped to hit the ground running. Your guidelines will show you how and what to use to keep marketing materials, web design etc looking cohesive and considered. Your brand design is designed to communicate and accentuate your brand story and brand's values, to communicate to your clients and the right audience. These brand guidelines will form an integral part of your business where you can always reference back to them , or you can pass them on to any marketing professional that may need them.

Brand Identity FAQ

How is working with you different from working with a branding agency?

Working with me offers a more personalized and hands-on approach compared to a larger branding agency. As a freelance brand identity designer, you'll have direct access to the creative process and communication with the designer (me!) throughout the project. I can offer more flexibility in terms of project scope, timelines, and budget, tailoring my services to meet your specific needs.

How do you approach designing a logo for a brand?

When designing a logo for a brand, I begin by understanding the company's values, target market, and unique selling proposition before researching into competitors and industry trends to ensure the logo stands out from the crowd, yet still aligning with the brand's identity and objectives.

Why is it essential for businesses to have a style guide?

A style guide serves as a roadmap for maintaining consistency in brand representation across all channels and mediums. It outlines guidelines for logo usage, color palettes, typography, imagery, and other visual elements, ensuring that the brand's identity remains cohesive and recognizable.

How can a well-designed brand identity contribute to the success of a business?

A well-designed brand identity will help your business differentiate itself from competitors, build trust with customers, and create strong emotional connections. It aids brand recognition, fosters loyalty and trust, and ultimately drives sales and business growth.

How do you ensure that a brand's logo is used correctly across different mediums and applications?

I provide clear guidelines in the style guide regarding logo usage, specifying size, placement, color variations, and minimum clear space requirements. Additionally there will be mock-ups of how to use all of your brand assets to ensure that the logo, font, colours and brand graphics are implemented consistently and effectively.
