25.01.2022 When your pharmacy order arrives and you think, that’s right, I designed that brand image and packaging! Natural Chemist has been a long time client of mine and it’s been fabulous working with them over the years. I also love when I work with businesses I believe in and can support in return! They are an integrative pharmacy which supports wellbeing in many forms. When we designed their brand image years ago, the focus was on maintaining the tradition pharmacy model bu...t reflecting the natural and alternative options without making it too ‘fluffy’. As they say, we like the natural stuff but we also do the hard drugs too! . . . #pharmacybranding #medicalbranding #logodesign #branding #brandbuilder #packagingdesign #pharmacysydney #chemistbranding #logodesignstudio #branddesignstudio #ninetothrive #australianbranddesigner #aussiebranding #aussielogodesigner #brisbanepharmacy #brisbanepharmacist #foodasmedicine #naturaltherapies #brandstrategist #branding101 @ Greenwich, New South Wales, Australia See more

25.01.2022 Oh hi! If you noticed Ive been MIA of late its because Ive been getting to know this little bundle! Our 4th son was born 5 weeks ago and we are all settling into a family of 6 now. In amidst the covid-19 pandemic and self isolation I birthed this gorgeous little boy at home. While Im taking a little break from paid work Im being kept busy but loads and loads of laundry, lots of breastfeeds and ample cuddles!... Ive got a few things to share over the coming weeks as I catch up over here! How are you all? Drop a comment below and let me know how you are feeling! . . . brandingstrategist #brandbuilding #brisbanebrandconsultant #brisbanebranding #brandingdesign #smallbusinessbranding #smallbizgrowthtips #smallbizgrowthstrategy #aussiebusinesswomen #ninetothrive #socialmediamarketing #brandmarketing #womensupportingwomen #enterpreneurlife #businessmindset #businessmindset101 #branding101 #brandingconsulting #thisisbrisbane #brisbanebusinesswomen

25.01.2022 Your wings already exist, all you have to do is fly Since May 2019, Ive met regularly with these wonderful women @creativemode and @laurenrogersdesign where we conduct business chats, support each others goals and ambitions and help keep each other accountable. Finding supportive business partners is so important as a small business. It helps you align your ideas and balance your mind overload.... You learn from each other in a non competitive environment. Its not the same as networking, its like a micro support group! Here we are at Fridays catch up where we all set new goals and outlined current challenges My 31 week bump looks remarkable small in this photo Do you have a micro support group for your business? If not, is it something you are searching for? . . . #creativebusiness #brisbanesmallbusiness #creativebusinessgroup #brandingbusiness #buildingbrands #branddesigner #brandgrowth #creativeprofessional #businesssupport #brandandcommunication #communicationsstrategy #brandstrategist #brisbanesmallbiz @ remy's

25.01.2022 Full disclosure: its been a while since Ive had a really good belly laugh. Do you ever get like that? Life happens, days tick over in a mix of laundry, work, kids, household management, laundry, relationship management, laundry and all the stuff in between? I cant remember the last time I laughed so hard I couldnt stop! And I find myself desperate for that feeling. Ive tried as well, looking for funny things, watching funny shows, but nope, nada...... Im smiling, sure, Im not unhappy but the belly laugh I desire seems out of reach. I wonder if we get so caught in everyday ticking over, with a dose of overwhelmed at times, we loose some of our senses, like sense of humour? My next step is practicing some mindfulness. Some being in the moment to help me reboot and find the funny! Do you ever get like this? Id love to know what has given you a good dose of laughing medicine lately! Please share!!

25.01.2022 Kick up the pants today when @justcreative added our podcast to the list of ‘best branding podcasts!’. So chuffed to be included with some of my fav podcasts out there! @brandingbanter has been a little quiet due to small humans being born but we hope to be back on deck soon! Speaking with Aussie businesses about their branding challenges and successes is always a pleasure and this episode from earlier in the year with @clare_wood_coach didn’t disappoint! I’ve been following... Clare for a while now and she has built an incredible brand and shares tips and advice and part of her story! Head over to @brandingbanter to get the link and have a listen through Apple podcasts or @spotify. As always thank you for the support and a huge thank you to Clare! . . . #aussiepodcast #smallbuisness #podcastlife #brandingpodcast #brandingdesign #brandingbanter #podcastlife #brisbanedesigner #brisbanebranding

24.01.2022 Have kids? Run a business? Work freelance? Manage the juggle? - In this solo episode, @gdayfrank and I discuss how having a business with children in tow looks for us and how it translates into how our brands are perceived. - With so many small Australia small businesses working from home offices and sharing spaces with families, it worth discussing how this impacts business and branding.... - Would love your thoughts over @brandingbanter if you have had a listen and of course reviews on various platforms are appreciated! - Thank you! . . . #smallbizsquad #businessbranding #brisbaneanyday #smallbizowner #entrepreneurlife #businessmum #aussiesmallbusiness #womeninbusiness #ninetothrive #branddesigner #buildyourbrand #aussiepodcast #branding101 #womenindesign #australiandesigner #buildingmybrand #contentmarketing #contentstrategy #brandstrategist #BrisbaneGraphicDesigner #marketingagency #shareyourstory #knowyourbrand #smallbizowner #smallbusinessbrisbane #brandingdesign

24.01.2022 When we talk about brand REFRESH we need to consider many aspects of the business and brand. - Often brands start off with little to no funds and dont have the skills or knowledge to build a brand image that reflects their business. - Over time logos and visual identities often stop matching business values, offerings and service. But, heres the thing, people come to know brands for certain visual assets. ... - Lets take this client of mine as an example. Forever Now is a celebrant in Western Australia, she works with weddings and funerals. Shed had a logo (slide two, bottom) that really didnt reflect the emotion, depth and personality of the business. BUT, she was known for the infinity heart icon and it resonated with her and her audience. The identity refresh for this business looked at keeping the key visual assets (name and icon graphic) but updating the style to bring it in much closer alignment to the brand image we wanted to reflect. - Brand redesign can be scary, and a complete new look isnt always actually the best direction for a business to take. People only have limited space in their memory to remember visual assets so when I work with clients on refreshing their brand and bringing them up to date, Im sure to not ignore the history and what visual assets people already identify with. - ID: a ser of slides with hand crafted script logo reading Forever Now and a warm pink infinity heart icon.

24.01.2022 Weird people drive innovation Rory Sutherland. I love this statement from a fantastic book Im reading Alchemy, the surprising power of ideas that dont make sense. It rings true to me about how innovation (which is the buzziest of buzz words) actually evolves. People who see the world in a less linear way are often the drivers of innovation, they are the ones inventing concepts and objects to solve problems they are having or see others having. Often the rational idea h...as been done and not many people were excited. But the illogical, different and creative idea is the thing that generates change. Rory writes about the sandwich as an example. The sandwich evolved from a gambler who didnt want to leave his table to eat so he created the sandwich, a meal that could be delivered and eaten while still playing. Genius! Who is hungry? As businesses we need to continue to evolve and find creative ways to help solve our clients or customers problems. Id love to know if you have found illogical and creative practice a way to evolve your business? Let me know! . . .

23.01.2022 How many drafts do you have saved? I have a million things I start writing, topics I want to discuss on branding, parenting, business and human stuff... but finishing them is where I find I struggle! Im not going to sit here telling you Im a content creating genius cos Im far from it! Like you, I have tonnes on my plate and many of those plates are spinning!... But, what I do try to keep doing, is showing up, as often as I can, writing, as often as I can and finishing the tasks at hand, as often as I can! Just a Friday reminder that being human in business is super ok, not being perfect and fluent in all the things, totally ok. Lets high five ourselves for showing up and making all the small progresses we make each day!

18.01.2022 How good are referrals? I had one today and Im forever chuffed and grateful for these! . As a small business, we generate most of our leads through referrals. Either through word of mouth or online testimonials. .... Why do referrals work and how can we promote this to future clients? . Referrals work because: . People trust people they know and like. So if someone you know and like recommends a service or product, you are far more likely to contact that person over some random company from Google. . Referrals generally come from someone whos had a good experience. We all want life to go smoothly so if we are referred to someone who fixed another persons problems, then fab, they will hopefully fix ours! . Takes less time! No one wants to be searching endlessly on the internet for a service provider! So a referral means, research time is cut short! Winning! . How can you make the most of referrals to generate more leads? . Ask previous happy clients for testimonials you can use on your social media or website. . Gain Google proof but asking clients or customers to leave Google or Facebook reviews. . Ensure your brand image reflects your service and offering when prospective customers look you up so they are quickly reassured they are making a good move contacting you. . TAKEAWAY: Referrals get you a hefty foot in the door when a potential lead is considering you. Your job is to not let them down by poor branding and communication when they come to contact you. . Let me know in the comments if you agree or disagree! Always room for discussion . . .

18.01.2022 Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better. Maya Angelou. I love this quote and it continues to hold relevance in business as well as life. Right now, 2020 has delivered some of the greatest challenges for us all, and some more than others. We must continue to be flexible, adaptive and open to change. We must support and listen to minorities, our neighbours and friends. Our Brands must be fluid and adapt to changing landscapes.... We must strive to learn more, to listen instead of speak, and to be ok with being corrected or challenged. Let us work hard to be an inclusive, supportive and anti-racist community.

18.01.2022 Thank you for all the support yesterday with my post. I have set up a new page where I can share my hand lettered experiments and creations separate to the corporate offerings over here at See Creative. If this interests you, I would love you to follow along! with new things coming in 2020!

18.01.2022 Your logo isn’t your brand. But it’s one of the most identifying key assets of your brand. Make sure your logo is distinctive. I’m thankful my skill set now includes the ability to custom hand craft logos. Each one is completely custom as I don’t base them off existing typefaces any longer. In fact, I don’t take on that work. There are many other designers who can do this. Yes, I may be more expensive for this service, but as a business, my clients are receiving something truely unique. . . . #logodesign #customlogodesign #customlogo #handdrawnlogo #uniquebranding #brandingdesign #letteringartistsofinstagram #letteringartistbrisbane #brisbanelettering #brandspecialist #brandconsultant #brandingconsultancy #logocreation #identitydesign #distinctiveassets

17.01.2022 Hai! It’s been a minute! A few months ago I had the pleasure of working with Kirsty from @maematernal to build her brand strategy and develop her brand identity. Kirsty and I undertook a workshop via zoom (the new way to do things!) where we worked through her goals, and her ‘why’ and we deeply explored her ideal client. We were able to think more clearly about her brand name and brand identity once it was clear who we were communicating with. I hand crafted the logo and vis...ual assets, colour palette, fonts, photography style, that she can now take to any other designer or utilise herself to create a suite of material. Brand awareness is about consistency and building trust with your audience. Once you are clear on who you are communicating with, you can really start to have great conversations! Swipe through to see some process shots and get in touch with Kirsty if you are pregnant in Perth! . . . #brandingstrategist #brandbuilding #brisbanebrandconsultant #brisbanebranding #brandingdesign #smallbusinessbranding #smallbizgrowthtips #smallbizgrowthstrategy #aussiebusinesswomen #ninetothrive #customlogodesign #brandmarketing #womensupportingwomen #enterpreneurlife #businessmindset #businessmindset101 #branding101 #brandingconsulting #thisisbrisbane #brisbanebusinesswomen @ Perth, Western Australia

16.01.2022 The workshop that almost didn’t happen! Honestly, some days, weeks, years, we are thrown curve balls we don’t think we can catch, but if we do, if we extend ourselves, push past the hard, seemingly impossible... we can truely rise. I’m too tired to write the whole story of today’s shenanigans, but what we did of the workshop, when it finally happened, was truely valuable! Looking forward to session 2! ...

16.01.2022 Words to live by This powerful quote I heard recently on my new fav #podcast @helloartistceo, you should listen to it if you are like me, both a business mind and a creative. I have struggled with finding an identity between the two for a while and hearing this podcast has shed some light for me on the fact, you can be both. As our businesses grow and evolve, we can be faced with change at every corner. Even when we do all the goal setting and mindset work, the strate...gy and the implementation, we can find, personally, we struggle at times with focus and purpose. I love the power of these words as they reflect back on us as humans in business or in a creative field, that we have some control, to an extent, over the purpose we give our lives. I also love that this allows us to be human and expect change in the purpose as inevitable. Does this quote sit with you? Have you found at times the purpose of your life changes? Love to hear your thoughts!

14.01.2022 This week celebrated #worldkindnessday2019 apparently! Eek, so many days, I loose track! But Im a massive supporter of the kindness movement, even though there are many who think its overdone. Im my eyes, kindness is the first step to compassion, understanding and empathy and something we can all aim to show more of. - Im a big believer in never fully knowing another persons story or journey, even if you are close to them so offer kindness even when their behaviour is und...esirable. It wont fix all the problems of the world but its a good start! - Kindness matters in business as well. We are interacting with humans on the daily, and while brave faces might be what we see, lets remember we have no idea what internal dialouges are going on. Extra time, compassion and understanding of business contacts, clients and suppliers can go a long way. - Do you agree? . . . . .

14.01.2022 Feels a bit wrong wishing everyone a happy new year when Australia has been on fire, so many lives, homes and wildlife have been lost. Its hard to not be all consumed by the horrifying damage happening to our country. The start of a new year is typically a challenging time for many people and businesses, especially those who have been directly effected by the bushfires. To curb overwhelm and anxiety spikes at this time, Ive found some help and comfort in creating a goals l...ist. Ive done 2 lists: 1 The big brainstorm dump, with all the things rushing around in my head, for both personal and business goals. I have included a couple of ambitious things in there because there is no growth without struggle. 2 The refined, small list, with a few key goals I can confidently action within short spaces of time, say the next few days/weeks. I have found this helps me get perspective, and start, even when Im time poor (hello school holidays with 3 kids at home and being pregnant!) and build momentum. Dont feel you are alone with trying to get into the new year especially when it has been so tragedy filled in only 7 days. Many of us are with you. Comment below if you can share any tips on how you are overcoming or combating this current new year start. . . .

14.01.2022 Today I turned down a project. There was a time I wouldnt have felt confident doing this in my business but today I can tell quite quickly if a project isnt a good fit for my business. What gave me this confidence? ... Brand positioning. Identifying my core customer. Desired future state of the business. By working through these factors, a business is in a position to choose more confidently the work they want to engage in and identify quickly the projects that arent a good fit. How do you communicate to your core customer your offerings? Your brand image, your brand voice and your brand identity are a good place to start! But also by being explicit. On my website now, Ive added points of what you do and dont receive when working with me. Not to be selective, but to ensure clients are not confused by whats on offer and what kind of service they will receive. Recently, a client said to me Ive manifested all these perfect clients for my business, I pulled her aside and said, Im not sure thats all manifesting, I think its a bit to do with all the branding we have done! Tell me, have you gotten to a place where you are more confident about the clients you work with? What would help you get there do you think or whats holding you back?

14.01.2022 Hand up if you think all brandmarks and logos are starting to look the same? - Im currently writing a blog post on why we are seeing so much of the same thing out there and in a sense people wanting to fit in to a category or marketplace rather than stand out. - We are graced with exceptional type designers and custom lettering artists who can create brand identities that stand out from the competition rather than blend in.... - Im still really proud of this custom mark I created for a UK company two years ago.

13.01.2022 3 ways you can start building brand awareness in a new market I get asked this question all the time from established small businesses that want to tap into a new market, be it a new industry or a new product launch with a different audience. Spoiler alert!... It takes time! It wont happen overnight! Three things you can start doing today: 1 Research. Know all you can about the new market you want to break into. Ask, read, learn! 2 Plan. Establish key ways you can get your brand in front of your new market. Schedule, write and plan! 3 Be consistent. Seems obvious, but however you plan to communicate with this audience, do so consistently. Use your visual brand assets, tone of voice, and messaging consistently to establish the awareness in the new market place. And allow time, a minimum of 6 months consistent marketing and brand building to see any traction. It wont happen overnight, but it will happen! Got questions? Always up for some banter on these topics!

13.01.2022 Here is a finished piece Ill be showing in my workshop on Friday.

13.01.2022 Why is sorting out your customer personas so important? Today I had a online consult with some wonderful clients starting a new venture. They were ready to dive into naming, visuals and getting the ball rolling. I requested we start with some discovery discussion specifically geared to helping us align and find clarity on the brands vision, why they were wanting to start this venture and their who.... We spent a good portion of the time nutting out customer personas and getting a clear vision of who this audience was and how we can best support and engage with them. Understanding your audience on such a micro level, allows decisions on name and brand image to flow more easily because you have clarity around who you are wanting to communicate with and what will connect with that audience. The other thing to note is that this can change over time. But Im order to gain traction in a marketplace, you need to be clear on who the audience is and what they need and want. People want to buy from people they know, like and trust, so knowing what sort of person you are selling to is essential to communicating successfully and closing more sales. Do you have a clear customer persona set? If not, whats your biggest struggle in developing this? . . . ID: dark haired woman with sleeveless patterned dress and hands on hips.

11.01.2022 I didnt expect to have this level of conversation with a graphic designer - I cant tell you how often I hear this when I engage in discussion with new clients. - I changed my job title a while ago because honestly, Im not a graphic designer. Im a communications specialist and brand designer. Im a lettering artist and brand consultant!... - I ask lots of questions, I like to dig deep into why and then, work out the how! - I remember 15 or so years ago when I travelled to mine sites to learn more about the clients message, who they were communicating with and what we were trying to achieve. I knew there was more to my role than just making things look good. - I realised that what I offered was a very human relationship. I knew there was more to communicating a brand message for a client and I couldnt achieve this sitting behind a computer saying yes. - Sometimes I feel like I need to spend lots of time explaining what I can do, but thats because its not a straight answer. - How I try and communicate my offerings: - Brand messaging - using language that explains what I am about and how I can help. - Content - Im still not brilliant at content creation but Im trying! Im getting more confident sharing my knowledge and findings and expertise. - Conversations - allowing people space to voice their problems so I can help find solutions. Relationships are essential to the work I do. - Id love to hear if you find a disconnect between your job title and what you actually offer?! - ID: dark haired woman sitting with arms crossed inside a cafe, looking out through an open window.

10.01.2022 When your pharmacy order arrives and you think, thats right, I designed that brand image and packaging! Natural Chemist has been a long time client of mine and its been fabulous working with them over the years. I also love when I work with businesses I believe in and can support in return! They are an integrative pharmacy which supports wellbeing in many forms. When we designed their brand image years ago, the focus was on maintaining the tradition pharmacy model bu...t reflecting the natural and alternative options without making it too fluffy. As they say, we like the natural stuff but we also do the hard drugs too! . . . #pharmacybranding #medicalbranding #logodesign #branding #brandbuilder #packagingdesign #pharmacysydney #chemistbranding #logodesignstudio #branddesignstudio #ninetothrive #australianbranddesigner #aussiebranding #aussielogodesigner #brisbanepharmacy #brisbanepharmacist #foodasmedicine #naturaltherapies #brandstrategist #branding101 @ Greenwich, New South Wales, Australia See more

09.01.2022 2020 is time for change... Ive been MIA. Why? Ive been working on my business and deciding what it is I want to achieve and the goals Im setting moving into 2020. This is a milestone year in my career...... Ive been a designer since 2000 and Ive worked for multi national companies to micro home based businesses. Ive got 20 years experience under my belt and sometimes I forget the value that brings. I do know my passion to produce general corporate graphic design is no longer present. And Im ok to admit that now. My drive and my love is for the people in the businesses I work with, the conversations, the support and facilitation to help businesses build brands that communicate successfully, keep internal teams aligned, and have strategic direction to achieve business goals. Starting next year, Ill be offering consultation slots and packages where start ups and established businesses can get deep in their business direction and we can look to build clear and distinctive brand direction. Its a scary move to make a strong pivot like this but it feels right, feels positive and feels like this is my next step in growth. Ill still be exercising my creative bones over @delphiejoy where Ill be releasing a line of lettering prints and works online so if its the lettering a type you love me for, head over there for more of that work! Thanks as always for supporting me! What is 2020 looking like for your business? . .

09.01.2022 I know many of us are spreading kindness and gratitude but please if you do access any essential service at this time, including people doctoring, cleaning, teaching, nursing, policing, retailing, delivering etc, make the point of saying thank you. I just thanked the drs and nurses at the surgery I attended to get a shot, and they said it was a welcome change from the abuse they have been receiving...

06.01.2022 IWD2020 Empowering women is not just the work of women, it is the responsibility of ALL humans. Womens rights are human rights. They are about celebrating diversity and skill and worth. They are allowing individuals to make personal choices and empowering communities to make change. Womens Equality starts with those MEN and women who already have strong voices. Let them be heard! @delphiejoy . I was raised by a strong woman and man. My parents supported womens liberation... in the 70s and I was raised knowing gender and racial equality. I have so much privilege. I dont take that for granted. Ive come to learn that womens rights are something so many women in our world know nothing of. So many women continue to be at the mercy of men, mens laws, mens wants, mens demands, mens anger. But there are many amazing men and women who have the power to help this change, they have voices that are heard, trusted and influential. Lets not put womens empowerment solely on women, lets make it everyones role to champion the equality of human kind.

05.01.2022 Hai! Its been a minute! A few months ago I had the pleasure of working with Kirsty from @maematernal to build her brand strategy and develop her brand identity. Kirsty and I undertook a workshop via zoom (the new way to do things!) where we worked through her goals, and her why and we deeply explored her ideal client. We were able to think more clearly about her brand name and brand identity once it was clear who we were communicating with. I hand crafted the logo and vis...ual assets, colour palette, fonts, photography style, that she can now take to any other designer or utilise herself to create a suite of material. Brand awareness is about consistency and building trust with your audience. Once you are clear on who you are communicating with, you can really start to have great conversations! Swipe through to see some process shots and get in touch with Kirsty if you are pregnant in Perth! . . . #brandingstrategist #brandbuilding #brisbanebrandconsultant #brisbanebranding #brandingdesign #smallbusinessbranding #smallbizgrowthtips #smallbizgrowthstrategy #aussiebusinesswomen #ninetothrive #customlogodesign #brandmarketing #womensupportingwomen #enterpreneurlife #businessmindset #businessmindset101 #branding101 #brandingconsulting #thisisbrisbane #brisbanebusinesswomen @ Perth, Western Australia

02.01.2022 And just like that my little business is a decade old! - I started See Creative in 2009 after my first pregnancy ended in miscarriage and I realised there were parts of my life I couldnt control and other parts I could. Id always loved business and I decided to turn my freelance role into a full blown company and go out on my own. I left my contract role and with the support of my partner, I took the steps to create and start my business. - The first year was exceptional! I... hit the ground running! In the days before social media, I attended heaps of networking events, I was working long days and loving it! - I had amazing clients and projects and was kicking goals! - My first son arrived a bit over a year later and I was nervous about how that would look. Would I lose all my clients? - Thankfully many waited around till I was ready to take on work again and the next 5 years looked like babies, working when babies slept, or didnt sleep, juggling new and existing clients and learning new skills. - The move to Brisbane from Perth in 2015 changed things again. Although much of my work was able to be done via the internet, I had to start my networking and building of relationships again. - Now as 2019 comes to a close, and Im pregnant with a surprise 4th child, Im looking to the future for what See Creative will be. - Working for myself for a decade has seen some incredible highs and crappy lows. The constant juggle of feast and famine with workflow always keeps things interesting. Ive met some wonderful clients who are doing great things as well as other creatives Im grateful to call fantastic supports. - And I couldnt celebrate 10 years without thanking my husband, Tom, for always listening to me whinge and complain and be unsure and confident and have new ideas and then doubt myself! Hes my book keeper, support, and financial backing! Hes my number one partner. And to my family, parents and siblings for having faith in me and always being a ear when Im stressed or worried. I may work on my own but they are all my team . - How am I celebrating this milestone? Late night vacuuming and prepping for the week ahead! Its a glamorous life! See more

01.01.2022 Listening back to our next podcast coming out for @brandingbanter and loved this part of the interview! - When Sarah from @connected_children tells the story of when after months of us working on her branding, she claims that she had manifested all these perfect clients and we discussed how thats the exact role of what brand communication is all about! - I hope you will tune in later this week when the episode goes live!... - Tell me, do you believe in branding or manifesting . . .
