Visual identity design for organisations needing to communicate with clarity and care.

Strategic visual identity design for NGOs and purpose-driven organisations.

Visual identity design that goes further.

A deeply considered, research-led approach is how we create a visual identity that you don't just love, but one that does exactly what you need it to.

This is why before designing, we do foundational work together so I am clear on:

  • Your audiences and stakeholders, along with their different trust signals
  • The cultures or countries your organisation operates in, alongside any relevant cultural or linguistic differences that will impact the design
  • Your operating context, including the visual space already held by peer, partner or competitor organisations
  • Where the visual identity will live, and what it needs to do across each of those contexts

When creative decisions are made after establishing this foundation, the result is a visual identity that is strategically grounded, culturally considered, and built to be recognised, understood and remembered by those that matter.

The Resilience Project Visual Identity Design Banner Mock up

Look at what's been achieved with previous clients:

Content for Good & Co Logo Design

Content For Good & Co needed a vibrant new visual identity to mark their shift from a marketing agency to an NGO reshaping marketing for good. The result was a visual identity that disrupted the sustainable marketing industry, whilst holding the trust of their community that cares deeply about authenticity.

The Resilience Project Logo Design

The Resilience Project is a global non-profit that needed a full visual identity redesign to resolve the disconnect between their mission and their visuals. Since the rebrand, The Resilience Project has expanded globally, secured vital new funding, and presented at the IDG Summit.

Education by Donovan Logo Design

Education by Donovan is an education consultancy that needed a visual identity that had to hold two distinct industries, three services, and two audiences in one design. The resulting visual identity positioned Education by Donovan as a genuine challenger brand in both spaces.

Every stage of the process is mapped out and managed.

Each visual identity project follows my same strategic process. This ensures we create a visual identity that not only looks good, but one that works for its intended purpose, creates clarity not confusion, and is culturally and contextually safe.

BRAND DISCOVERY
An in-depth brand discovery session covering your existing brand, operating context, different audiences, values, brand personality, and more.
RESEARCH
Depending on the project, this may include cultural research, stakeholder consultation, visual language surveys, or a visual landscape analysis of peer and competitor organisations.
STRATEGY & CREATIVE DIRECTION
Findings from the brand discovery and resulting research are used to form a strategy for the visual identity design. This is presented alongside one or two creative routes, each with its own strategic rationale covering colour, typography, and visual style.
DESIGN AND REFINEMENT
The full visual identity is developed from the chosen direction — logo suite, colour system, typography, and any supporting iconography or illustration.
BRAND GUIDELINES & OFFBOARDING
A comprehensive set of brand guidelines is delivered alongside all final assets, ensuring the identity can be applied consistently across every context, by anyone who uses it. Additional branded templates, social media assets, and presentation decks can also be added on to the scope.
