A second family member on crutches in 4 months. No sooner had my son returned to work after his ACL op and my husband is in having a nasty leg straightening op. It's a slow recovery. I'm spending my days sat with headphones in listening to and glancing over at all sorts of documentaries and make over programmes of all sorts, while I work away. Making endless cups of tea and coffee, lunches, dog walks and general 'are you ok?' I shout from my desk. Quite a bit of design work on and the completion of a few projects with a...

What better time to write a new blog post? while I'm waiting online for a Shopify expert. I'm really enjoying the new design work I'm getting in, I absolutely love creating logo's and coming up with colour schemes, whether from scratch or based on a clients ideas. This weeks success story is the new logo for Bunniikids, a sub brand of Bunny and Clarke, more info on our branding page on the website.

A few weeks ago I got a call from Michelle Kent, PT and Sports Massage Therapist.

Without a minute to think, I just thought... 'well I really need to go' hence my reply. Michelle then went on to say she was ready to pick up from where we left off last year having started her re-brand from Kent Country...

I'm not sat in my running leggings and a sweatshirt today, I am fully kitted out in a smart blouse and grey loose trousers, hair blow dried (it always is but but I spent more time on it this morning). New smart Veja trainers, I'd love a neon pair (note to self), make up, the lot. Working from home for me is all about structure, commitment, discipline and being organised. I found it challenging over Easter with my daughter home from school, husband off on holiday and my son who is convalescing after a knee op. Although I've got through...

Occasionally I get to work on something pretty. I like bold and bright and colourful but when someone asks for something delicate, pretty, subtle and soft it's a lovely change and even better because subtle can take more time to achieve. This particular project which hasn't been completed yet is for a props and hire company looking to re-brand, switch up their colour palette and make some minor changes. It's amazing what a difference a softer shade pink does or introducing a grey. The client supplied her own colour palette which is lovely but it needed a darker shade adding,...
