Your expertise deserves a brand that matches
Strategic brand & website design for New Zealand businesses
Hi, I'm Kelly, a strategic brand designer based in Te Awamutu. I help businesses figure out what makes them different, then build brands that attract clients who value their expertise.
When your DIY brand doesn't cut the mustard anymore
You've built a successful business through quality work and client relationships. But your brand?
It's still the logo you made in Canva, the website you cobbled together on a weekend, and colours that don't quite match.
Sound familiar?
Most businesses hit this wall, where the DIY brand that got you started actually starts holding you back. It looks inconsistent, maybe feels a little amateur, and you're losing clients to competitors who just look more professional, even when you do better work.
But I'm here to help...
Strategy first, then design
Here's what makes my approach different:
Figure out what makes you different
Before touching design, we do the clarity work. We figure out your actual positioning. What makes you different? Who's your ideal client? What your brand should be communicating?
Build a brand that proves it
Once we know what makes you different, I translate that into cohesive visuals that work across every touchpoint ie. branding, custom illustrations, website design.
Become the obvious choice
The result? You stop competing on price and start attracting clients who recognise your expertise and don't blink at premium pricing. Your brand finally matches the quality of your work.
Kind words from clients
"Kelly has been a big part of the look and feel of Roam from day one. She has done brand work and more recently created my website. I find Kelly extremely great to work with. She is friendly, professional and prompt. Kelly has been able to really understand how I've wanted my business to come across and has been able to translate my thoughts into reality!"
Brad Simpson, Roam, Napier
Kind words from clients
"So glad I put my trust in Kelly to refresh my businesses branding, she listened to what I needed and managed to get out what was in my head 100% and it looks fantastic. Kelly's communication was admirable, and I knew exactly every step she was taking all the way which was appreciated. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Creative Box."
Sharyn Mead, Petal Passion, Cambridge
Kind words from clients
“Kelly is an absolute dream to work with. She can take all your ideas, pull them together and create a cohesive design that is perfect. An absolute breeze to work with and I would highly recommend her."

Not sure whats working or where to start?
The Brand Audit is a strategic look at your current brand. We look at what's working, what's not, and what needs to happen next.
Why work with me?
Here's what two decades have taught me: pretty logos don't solve business problems. Strategy does.
I start with strategy instead of aesthetics, that's why my clients don't just get brands that look professional. They get brands that attract premium clients and support business growth.
My approach is collaborative, clear, and refreshingly free of design jargon. And I don't disappear after launch, your success matters beyond the project.
