I'm Elisma du Plessis (in case your want to Google) - Art director turned brand strategist/designer - 11 years professional experience - Bachelor of Arts in Visual Communication - Founded Achro Brand Studio in 2018 - Brand audit, strategy and identity design service offering - Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, and Webflow proficient 👉 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗜 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗲 𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 (list of deliverables, more details on my website) Brand audit: Leadership discovery session, communications review, live feedback presentation, key insights report Brand strategy: Stakeholder interviews, workshops, brand purpose, values, vision, mission, competitive analysis, target audience personas, differentiation strategy, unique value proposition, communication themes, brand archetype, brand attributes, tone of voice, brand naming, tagline Brand identity design: Brand brand design systems, moodboard, typography, color scheme, logo/icon design, style guide, stationary, templates, website copy, website design, website development Growth support: Brand book, annual reports, eBooks, pitch/capabilities deck, proposals, presentations, newsletters, campaigns 👩 𝗕𝗶𝗼 It all started with my love for the arts. I’m curious at heart and have always been fascinated with what makes people tick. Naturally, that steered me to pursue a career in branding – it’s the perfect blend between analytical thinking and creative expression. I obtained my B.A. Degree in Visual Communication in 2013 at Open Window in South Africa. I worked as an in-house graphic designer, as a freelancer, and then as Art Director at a through-the-line agency. Driven by my appetite for freedom in the projects I take on and the people I work with, I took a leap of faith and quite a job I loved. I founded Achro Brand Studio in 2018 – a year spent living in Chiang Mai, Thailand. The entrepreneurial spirit of the expat community inspired me early in my journey to explore different areas of the industry. I’ve since narrowed down my offering to brand strategy and identity design. ‍ I live in Cape Town with my husband Francois, and our three dogs. I’m listening with an open mind, offering my skills and enthusiasm to help you achieve your goals.
