HELLO –
I'm Laura, a Pembrokeshire (West Wales) based creative designer and illustrator. I have been designing since I trained at The London College of Communication (UAL) in 2008. I like to try and do work that makes a difference to something meaningful, whether that’s society, the environment, the world, or just you!
I work with clients, both locally in Wales and internationally, to create visually engaging and effective brands. I do this through collaborative, thoughtful design, both on and off-line. I support my clients in whatever creative capacity they need – developing friendly and informal relationships that make communication easy and that keep the design process simple, transparent and hopefully fun! I don’t work to one particular formula, rather I am dynamic and flexible, creating a bespoke approach tailored to each client’s particular requirements.
I can support you with:
Identity and brand design – i.e. logos, naming, promotional materials, brochures, web design, online/offline advertising, infographics, copywriting, original illustration and sourcing on-brand photography, environmental graphics and way-finding.
Original artwork for writers, musicians and other creatives; advertising campaigns for promoting products or events, bespoke stationary and gift books for special occasions such as weddings and anniversaries, signage and exhibition graphics.
Research, auditing, brand strategy, brand guardianship and workshops to support your staff.
Please feel free to get in touch (via the contact page) if you would like to discuss a project, problem or idea.
SOME LOVELY, HAPPY CUSTOMERS…
“Laura was fantastic, she listened carefully to all my ideas… She worked closely with me every step of the way until the perfect logo was created. I was over the moon with the final logo design. She also helped me to source a printing stamp for my logo and gave me advice about creating websites, business cards and other marketing material. She provided a 5* service and so I would recommend her to everyone who needs graphic design services.”
LAURA PERYER, RIVER ANGEL DESIGN
“Laura has been a great help and truly understood the brief and my visions for my new project. It has been so good to work with someone with such a variety of clients and I have received amazing quick service in order to meet my deadlines. I couldn’t recommend Laura enough and look forward to working together to develop Shala as a brand!”
MEGAN FIELD, SHALA ACTIVEWEAR“Laura has been designing for MADE in Europe, a campaigning charity for several years and has been instrumental in helping to define our unique brand. We have always found her to be extremely professional, delivering projects to deadline while being a brilliant creative at the same time. We have also appreciated her flexibility and willingness to turn around our projects in a short amount of time which is essential in the charity sector!”
