Helping brands connect through purpose, storytelling, and design. Building meaningful identities that inspire and truly stick.
our inspiration
A pencil case isn’t just for holding supplies. It’s where ideas take shape. You zip it open, grab a pencil, and suddenly you find your rhythm. Sketching, scribbling, figuring things out. It’s a balance of structure and spontaneity, practicality and creativity. That’s how we approach design. We take ideas, explore possibilities, and bring them to life.
Our Mission
At the heart of our process lies understanding. Who you are, what you stand for, and who you’re speaking to. We take the time to get to know your brand, dig into what makes it unique, and shape ideas that feel authentic. It’s about telling a story, making connections, and creating visuals that leave a lasting impression.
Our founder
I’m Cat, a brand and marketing designer who believes great design should feel as good as it looks.
I’ve spent years helping brands shape their stories with thoughtful, strategic design. I take pride in creating visuals that don’t just grab attention but truly connect. That passion has led me to build a studio rooted in creativity, collaboration, and purpose.
SERVICES
Your brand is unique, and your design should be too. We take the time to understand your vision and craft visuals that truly represent what you stand for. Here’s how we can help you stand out.
Great brands feel effortless, like your favourite coffee shop, where everything from the menu to the music just fits. That’s no accident. We help shape your brand’s personality and visual identity into a clear, cohesive guide so every detail feels just right.
Your brand has a strong foundation, but it needs a clear direction. We’ll create a detailed guide that brings everything together, including your logo, colours, and typography, to keep your brand consistent, polished, and easy to use across all platforms.
We team up with you to bounce ideas around, polish them up, and turn them into something clear and impactful. From the big picture to the small details, we ensure your brand stays true to its story and feels authentic every step of the way.
We design websites that are as stunning as they are user-friendly. From wireframes to the final launch, we make sure every element works perfectly together to elevate your brand and create a seamless experience that resonates with your audience.
