Branding that doesn't fit
your business can hold you back.
Like those old jeans that are no longer cool and are a struggle to do up.
Elevate your business
I am passionate about elevating branding for small businesses.
As well as book club, reformer pilates and coconut flat whites.
But seriously, if you want a slick and epic looking brand that speaks directly to your target client and stands out from your competition. I’m your gal!

Meet Melissa
Hello! I’m a qualified Graphic Designer with 14 years experience working in the creative sector in London and New Zealand and I’m currently based in Auckland, NZ.
I love working with small businesses (especially female led businesses) to fill a brief and deliver your vision through graphic imagery. We create branding together that appeals to your target audience and will suit your long term business goals. We dive into brand strategy and the outcome is a full toolbox of goodies you feel confident moving forward with. Cohesion is key!

Melissa was an absolute pleasure to work with. Right from the start, I felt like she was interested and invested in my business and her passion for what she does really shines through. She listened to what I wanted, respected my feedback on what she put forward and came up with branding that I was beyond happy with. I have already recommended her to a few other small businesses because I was so impressed with the entire process. Thank you for bringing my branding to life, Melissa!
