Brand identity
A distinct mark, palette and type system that looks like you on day one and still fits in five years.
- Positioning workshop
- Logo suite and colour system
- Typography and usage guide
Independent brand & web designer
Calm, clear brands for businesses with somewhere to go.
I design identities and websites for small teams and founders — one designer, from first conversation to launch, with nothing lost in hand-offs.
Good design should feel like a steady current — quietly moving your business toward the people it's meant for.
Services
Three ways I can help
Pick one, or combine them. Every engagement starts with understanding what your customers need to see and feel.
Websites
Fast, accessible sites that explain what you do in seconds and make the next step obvious.
- Structure and page copy guidance
- Responsive design and build
- Editor training at handover
Content design
Templates and layouts for decks, social posts and printed pieces, so your team can stay on-brand without me.
- Presentation templates
- Social and newsletter layouts
- Print-ready collateral
Selected work
Recent projects
A few examples of the kind of work I take on. Full case studies are shared on a call.
Fernhouse Ceramics
A studio shop site with a simpler catalogue, so visitors find a class or a piece without digging.
Tidewell Advisory
A warmer, more human identity for a small consultancy that felt too corporate.
Northfield Learning Collective
A shared template kit that lets a volunteer team produce consistent course materials and event posters on their own.
About
One designer, fully in the work
Meadow Current is my independent practice. When you hire me, you get me — the person on the intro call is the person drawing the logo and building the site.
I keep a small number of projects at a time so each one gets proper attention, and I write everything down so you're never guessing what happens next.
- Plain languageNo jargon in proposals or feedback rounds.
- Few, focused projectsTime to think, not just produce.
- Built to hand overFiles and guides you can actually use.
- Accessible by defaultReadable colour, type and structure.
Process
How a project flows
Four clear stages, each ending with something you can review before we move on.
Conversation
A short call to understand your goals, audience and timing. You get a written summary afterwards.
Proposal
Scope, deliverables and schedule in one document, so we agree on the shape before any design starts.
Design
Concepts shared early, refined together over planned feedback rounds — no surprises at the end.
Launch
Final files, a live site where relevant, and a walkthrough so your team feels at home with it.
Working together
Choose a format that fits
Every format is quoted from a written scope after our first conversation.
Full project
A complete identity, website or both, planned from start to launch.
- Fixed deliverables
- Planned feedback rounds
- Launch walkthrough
Design sprint
A focused block of time to solve one problem — a landing page, a refresh, a pitch deck.
- Short, set timeframe
- Daily progress notes
- Ready-to-use output
Design partner
Regular monthly time for teams that need steady design help without hiring.
- Reserved monthly hours
- Shared request list
- Pause when you need to
Questions
Before you get in touch
How far ahead should I book?
Because I keep only a few projects running, it helps to reach out a few weeks before you'd like to start. Tell me your ideal timing in the form and I'll be honest about what's possible.
Do you work with clients remotely?
Yes. All projects run remotely through video calls, shared documents and a simple project board, so location is never a barrier.
What do I receive at the end?
Organised source files, exported assets for web and print, a usage guide and — for websites — a recorded walkthrough of how to edit your pages.
Can you help if my budget is small?
Often, yes. A design sprint focused on the most important piece is a good way to start, and we can build from there when the time is right.
Start a project
Tell me what you're building
A few details are enough. I read every enquiry personally and reply with next steps or a friendly referral if I'm not the right fit.
- No obligation — just a conversation first.
- Your details are used only to reply to you.
- Not sure what you need? Say so — that's fine.
