What kind of design magic are we making?

creative founders

Are you a founder or creative entrepreneur? You’re ready for design that reflects where you’re at now, attracts the right people, and supports the growth you’re aiming for. You’ve outgrown the DIY stage, and you’re looking for a brand and website that feel aligned with the business you’ve built — and the one you’re growing into.

comms professionals

Maybe you’re working in comms or publishing — writing reports, shaping narratives, or driving change, and you need a design partner who can turn complex ideas into clear, beautiful, and strategic visuals. Someone who understands the content, not just the layout — and makes the whole process feel smooth and collaborative.

Meet the design wizard

Hey, I'm Heidi

My name may not be Gandalf or Harry, but I am a design wizard—with a knack for turning complex ideas and creative visions into thoughtful, strategic design. Whether you’re building a brand, producing a publication, or communicating something that matters, I’m here to help you show up clearly, confidently, and in a way that feels true to your work.

Your ideas carry weight. Your message matters. I create design that reflects that, so it resonates with the right people and supports the impact you’re here to make.

I work with creative entrepreneurs, communicators, and purpose-driven businesses who want design that’s smart, intentional, and deeply aligned with their goals. If that sounds like you, let’s make some magic.

What is the secret behind my magic?

With a background in psychology and design, I combine visual strategy with a deep understanding of how people think, feel, and respond. It’s not just about aesthetics — it’s about shaping perception, building trust, and inspiring action through thoughtful design.

After 12 years of creative work, my intuition has earned its stripes. I tune into each client’s unique energy, puzzle out what’s needed, and bring clever, cohesive solutions to life — all grounded in solid design thinking.

This is a collaborative process where you feel seen, supported, and guided from idea to execution. I ask the right questions, offer honest insights, and make design feel like the easy part of your project or business growth.

"Working as a comms consultant with dozens of leading NGOs means I've encountered a tonne of designers. Heidi is THE BEST! She's fast and efficient which is always welcome in the not-for-profit space, but she also has a true talent for design, adding much depth to our work. Heidi works with a minimalist brief to really bring our projects to life. She's worked with me on rebrands, websites, print publications, digital publications, landing pages and infographics, and I truly can't recommend her highly enough."

Frequently asked questions

Yes! My job is to help you get clear on what will actually move the needle — whether that’s a rebrand, a new website, or visual comms that make your message land. We’ll chat it through and map the best way forward. You can book a free discovery call here.

If you’re a creative founder, comms professional, or purpose-led organisation who values strategic thinking, collaboration, and high-quality design — very likely, yes. I work best with people who are ready to invest in branding and visual communication that reflects their evolution and supports the impact they’re here to make.

Short answer: no. I don’t do logo-only projects because branding is more than just a pretty mark — it’s a strategic foundation. We need to know what your brand means before we decide what it should look like. The clients I work with are usually a few years into business and ready for branding that reflects their evolution — not just a logo, but a whole identity that supports where they’re going.

Yes — I design custom WordPress websites using Elementor. They’re built to be clear, strategic, and aligned with your brand — not just a pretty brochure. That means thoughtful structure, intuitive user experience, and design that builds credibility, drives enquiries, and supports your business goals. I use WordPress because it powers over 40% of the internet — it’s flexible, robust, and built to grow with your business. I want you on the best platform, not boxed into something you’ll outgrow.

I usually book projects at least 4 weeks in advance. If you’ve got a tight deadline, get in touch — I can sometimes shuffle things around to fit you in, though a rush fee may apply to cover the extra juggling. Either way, I’ll always be upfront about what’s possible and what will give you the best result.
