Before & After for the ADHD Foundation Australia 💜🧠

A nonprofit brand identity exploration, revisited through the original diamond, a proposed new direction, and the story behind a symbol that means so much to the ADHD community.

The original identity already had years of meaning and recognition, but the exploration looked at bringing more clarity, consistency, and accessibility across the logo, colour, typography, social media, print, and digital touchpoints.

Honestly… this one is less about whose diamond made the final cut and more about appreciating the different creative directions, including the wonderful refresh the Foundation ultimately chose 😂

Different cuts, same purpose, because everyone deserves a chance to shine, right! ADHD Foundation 💎

A reminder that branding and visual identity systems can extend across social media, content, motion, messaging, colour, type, illustration, mockups, print, and digital environments.

Honestly… building thoughtful little brand worlds centred around communication, confidence, and helping people find their voice is pretty damn satisfying 😂

Built with passion, curiosity, and a genuine love for the creative process.

Story for Dizz n Co 🩵🖤🤍❤️

Not every brand name needs an elaborate backstory. Sometimes you just name it after the cat.

Dizz came from Dizzy, while the “Co” made room for Alfi and Alby. But the identity itself was never really about the cats. It was about home, family, handmade things and the care that goes into making something for someone else.

That’s one of the reasons I’m sharing this story today. A brand can start somewhere completely random, but the fun part is finding the meaning, personality and little details that make it feel like its own thing.

So that’s Y Dizzy became

Thanks for the inspiration, wifey Alena Valtová 🩵

A little backstory, a little reset, and a look at what’s next.

Big shout out to KAL from Ink & Elbow Grease AWARD School, CreativeMornings Sydney, The Design Kids, , and , plus all the clients, collaborators, studios, family and mates who’ve backed me, hired me or shared a coffee and some advice along the way.

Extra thanks as well to Service NSW, APM, Digital Solutions, and all the advisors, support crew and new friends who’ve been helping me from the start and giving me a bit more fire to keep pushing CJ Ink Designs forward.

Over the next couple of weeks I’ll be rolling out a refreshed website and socials, clearer offers, better funnels and ways to get started, plus more focus on ongoing branding and design support for the businesses I work with.

A reminder that branding and visual identity systems can extend across signage, social media, merchandise, motion, messaging, colour, type, mockups, print, and physical environments.

Honestly… building bold little barber shop brand worlds full of character, tradition, and a bloody good moustache is pretty damn fun 😂💈

A Review from Landry Equine Services 🖤💜🤍
Somone came to me looking for a professional brand identity that better reflected her experience across horse breeding, foaling, care, and transport, and gave Landry Equine Services an identity of its own.

I’m really grateful I could help shape the brand into something that feels distinctive, trustworthy, and at home in the horse world across social media, merchandise, signage, and other everyday touchpoints. I’m excited to keep supporting the brand as it continues to grow as well.

Here’s what she had to say about the experience.

DM me if you’re looking for similar results! 📩

Project Recap for Cup of Life Café 💚🤎🤍🧡

Sometimes the first idea is not bad. It is just not the best one yet.

Coming back to this project with more experience, better questions and proper outside critique completely changed where it ended up.

Big credit to Kal Greasley from Ink & Elbow Grease for mentoring me through the rework and pushing me past the safer choices.

The lesson I keep coming back to is simple. Good design is not about defending your first idea. It is about being willing to find the stronger one.

Follow along for more project recaps. Save this one if you’ve got an old brand you know needs another look, and if you want a second opinion, send me a DM

Before & After for Southern Harbour 🖤🤍🤎

A writing and editing brand identity, revisited with a little more experience, a clearer direction, and a stronger understanding of how a visual identity system can reflect the person and story behind the work.

The original identity had the first draft of something, but the rebrand gave Southern Harbour Proofreading more character, more consistency, and a bigger visual language to work with across print, digital, social media, messaging, and everyday brand touchpoints.

Honestly… this one is less about rewriting what came before and more about giving Jodie’s love for words an identity of its own 😂
Some brands just need the right words.
