Something in your design & marketing doesn’t feel quite right

Maybe your brand doesn't match the business you've built. Maybe your marketing feels like another job on top of running everything else. Or maybe you're just tired of trying to figure it out yourself and need a professional brand identity from the start. Design doesn’t need to be complicated. It just needs to be clear and communicate the right message to the right people.

I'm here to ease your design workload. ↓

helping you is why i’m passionate

Not just a freelance graphic designer

A design partner you can trust.

I never fit neatly into one box as a designer, I used to think that was a problem. But over time, I realised it's actually my blessing.

It’s what lets me serve my clients better across different stages, touchpoints and priorities in their business.

Need a graphic designer to help with social content?
Planning a rebrand but not sure where to start?
Rather pass all the boring design bits to someone else?
You’ve landed in the right place.

Working with small businesses, established brands and personal brands locally in Derby, UK and across the world, the diversity in my craft and skills means I can bring it all together through a meticulous design eye and support your business.

core DESIGN SERVICES

Turn 'it’ll do for now' into unforgettable

When your brand no longer reflects the quality of your work, or design starts slowing you down, it’s time for support. I create thoughtful, strategic design that brings clarity, consistency and confidence to your business.

  • Your brand is often the first impression, let's make it a good one. If your current branding feels DIY, inconsistent, or no longer reflects where you're heading, this is for you.

    You'll walk away with:

    • A professional identity that builds trust and feels aligned with your vision

    • Everything from logo suite and colour palette to the touch points that matter most

    • The confidence to show up where your audience is, looking polished and consistent and memorable

  • Already have branding but need polished marketing materials? From Instagram templates to print collateral, I'll design pieces that keep your brand consistent, credible and personal - saving you time and energy.

    Perfect for:

    • Instagram makeovers & LinkedIn graphics

    • Social media templates & direction

    • Print materials (business cards, packaging, brochures)

    • Website design

    • One-off campaign materials & assets

  • Got a backlog of design tasks? A VIP Design Day gives you focused time to finally clear that list - whether it's polishing materials, creating templates, or updating packaging.

    Need ongoing support? A monthly retainer gives you agency level design expertise with the personal attention you won't get from an agency. Stay consistent, keep projects moving, design taken care of.

just incase we’ve not met yet

Hey, I’m Rubie, the graphic designer who loves creating work that her clients feel proud of

It’s truly a pleasure supporting business owners through different stages of their journey, and seeing their confidence grow as their vision comes to life. Above all, the experience of working together is something I care deeply about. Being trusted with your brand is never something I take lightly.

With nearly a decade of design experience, I’ve become highly adaptable and quick to understand the feel of a business. I stay curious, and I care about getting it right. I enjoy working with people who are passionate about what they do, regardless of the size of their business. That energy is what makes the work meaningful and I’m grateful to be a small part of it.
