Purposeful Design

MOVE FROM PREDICTABLE TO

Move beyond “just a logo” to a confident brand identity toolkit that works well for you across all print and digital media.

"Pie provided me with a huge range of logos for print and for my website, along with a toolbox of information on how best to utilise the design, colours and fonts used.

​Her attention to detail was incredible and I honestly can't thank her enough, I feel I have built a strong brand for my business which wouldn't have been possible without her expertise!"

"Pie provided three distinct brand concepts, each with its own colours and style, making the decision both exciting and effortless.
 
The final design beautifully combines simplicity with complexity; it’s clean and modern yet full of meaning and detail."

"The research to support the development of the different brand concepts was in-depth and impressive. They were all really well-thought-out, visually striking and would work for the business.

Once we had landed on the chosen design, we soon had a whole toolbox of different collaterals we could use straight away."
"We have worked with Pie on a few logo designs and each time has been easy. She listens to feedback and always comes up with excellent designs.

She understands the business and brand and delivers in a timely manner.

Love Pie's designs and creativity."
