Your business already has something meaningful at its heart. Together, we’ll turn it into a brand people can see, feel and connect with.

Maybe you’re building something that helps children thrive, creates positive change in your community, brings more joy into the everyday, or simply does things a little differently. Whatever your reason for starting, there’s an idea at the heart of your business that matters to you, and you want to build something that matters to other people, too.

Whether you need the foundations to begin, a complete identity to build from, or thoughtful design support as your brand grows, there’s a way for us to work together.

Let’s find the right fit for you

A smartphone screen displays a podcast titled 'Wonder Before,' which is a storytelling podcast for kids. The podcast cover art features colorful illustrations of cheerful cartoon characters, stars, and flowers, with the subtitle 'Feeling The Swaying For.' The background has whimsical, playful illustrations of abstract shapes, plants, and celestial elements.

For the dreamers, doers and founders turning meaningful ideas into something real.

You’ve built something you care deeply about. There’s a clear purpose behind what you do, people you want to reach and ideas for where you’d love to take it next. But somewhere along the way, your brand has struggled to keep up.

Maybe you pieced things together yourself when you were starting out, your visuals have evolved without any real direction, or you simply have so many ideas that nothing quite feels connected. The colours change, the fonts multiply, every new piece of content becomes another decision to make and the business you know has so much substance behind it isn’t being reflected in the way you show up.

Together, we’ll untangle the ideas, uncover what matters and create a clear strategic direction for your brand, understanding what you stand for, who you want to reach and what makes your business different. Those foundations become something you can come back to, giving you direction as your business grows and a reason behind every creative decision we make.

From there, we’ll turn that thinking into a visual identity through considered design and original illustration, creating a visual language with personality, intention and craft at its heart. Every element is shaped around your ideas and your point of view, giving you a brand that feels distinctive, cohesive and ready for whatever comes next.

LET'S BRING YOUR IDEAS TO LIFE

Kind words from lovely clients

  • Emma is a superstar. I have been working with Emma over the last few months and she has brought my idea to life through her beautiful illustrations and through her story telling which really brings the brand to life. She is really easy to talk to and to collaborate ideas with, she is great at taking on what has been said and whipping up a world based around your brand. I highly recommend her for anyone in need of branding for their business. She is particularly good with fun, joyful and colourful designs. Thanks Emma for the magical work and I cannot wait to share it with everyone!

  • I have had such a positive experience working with Emma. If you are looking for someone to help you make your brand cohesive and clear, she does a fantastic job. When we started working together, I was looking for cute graphics and a more professional and consistent look for my organization. She gave me that, plus a confident voice for my brand and valuable advice that grounds me and keeps me coming back. I feel so relieved that I finally have a well-defined and beautiful way to communicate our work to the world.

  • Working with Emma was an absolute dream! She took the time to understand my brand and really brought my brand voice to life. Every design element she created was thoughtful and intentional. She created custom illustrations that helped my brand stand out. Emma was very easy to communicate with. I would recommend Emma to anyone looking for a rebrand! I will definitely work with Emma on future projects!

  • Working with Emma at Dainty Forest has been such a wonderful experience. She designed our full brand system including color palette, typography, logos, icons, Instagram highlight covers, and post templates. She truly captured the feel of my brand in a way that felt both elevated and authentic. What I appreciate most is how collaborative she is. She listens carefully, welcomes feedback, and thoughtfully refines details until everything feels just right. Her design sense is beautiful, cohesive, and strategic. I’m now working with her for a second time on our packaging design, which says a lot about the trust and confidence I have in her. I highly recommend Emma to any founder looking for a designer who combines creativity with professionalism and care.
