I design logos and full brand identities for founders and growing businesses. With years of experience in logo design and visual identity systems, I create considered, high-quality brands that feel calm and confident. My work is grounded in clarity and intention, ensuring your brand communicates trust before you have said a word. I specialise in branding for coaching, wellness, creative and premium product-based businesses seeking an elevated and thoughtful visual presence. Whether you are launching something new or refining an established brand, I help translate your vision into a cohesive identity that feels aligned and commercially strong. My approach combines strategic thinking with refined visual execution. Every decision — typography, colour, layout, mark-making — is guided by long-term brand positioning and genuine creativity rather than trends. Clients value my clear communication, discretion, and ability to manage projects smoothly from concept to final delivery. I love to work with clients who value collaboration, depth, and attention to detail. I offer a tiered approach starting with Logo Essentials $250 - $350. Brand identity projects typically range between $750–$2,000 depending on scope and deliverables. If you’re looking for a designer who will treat your brand as an investment rather than a quick fix, I’d be happy to connect.

I am a conceptually strong designer and creator who fully embraces the idea that concept is king. I believe that an effective strategy allows for a more efficient execution, and on the road to the completion of that successful project I will ask those important questions that will define the outcome of your end product. The average graphic designer WILL NOT and DOES NOT ask those questions, they will simply design something pretty. It is my experience and professionalism in strategy and design that will set your product/service apart from the rest and ultimately resonate with your audience. If you will take just 1 minute to read some of my client testimonials below, you will see proof of how much value I have added to their project, and I can do the same for you! I am not just a designer, I am here to be YOUR creative partner! As a designer I am very at home in the Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop + InDesign + Illustrator), as well as Canva if client needs require it, and can build a contemporary Wix site that is both engaging and optimised for mobile. So whether you're looking to roll out a design project that is digital or print, I am able to do both professionally and to a very high level of design. My career path over the last few years has seen me move from being a multi-award winning art director at Men's Health magazine, to the creative lead of a digital agency, and now one of Upwork's TOP-RATED branding specialists. This work is MY passion. It's what I do, it's what I love, and I am very good at it. I look forward to working with you! And please, if you have any questions about your project - feel free to drop me a message and I promise to get back to you within a few hours. ---------------------------- CLIENT FEEDBACK 📢 ---------------------------- ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5 STARS) Clint was great. Super creative and great at what he does, but also a great collaborator. Everything was on time, communication was superb, and he was patient as things kept evolving during the project.
