The biggest rebrand I’ve ever taken on 🤍

Say hello to the new

If you’re getting married in Yorkshire, you know the name. Four stores. One of the biggest bridal names in the North.

And they trusted me with the whole thing 🖤

It’s been 25 years of Elite Bridal and they were ready for a brand that matched this.

This is the kind of project I dreamt about when I started Absorb. Keep a look out for more to be revealed 🍸

Elite Bridal, thank you for trusting me with it. 🤍

Did you get my September newsletter in your inbox? 👀

I’m not going to lie, I’m a bit obsessed with designing these now...

Somewhere along the way I forgot that work and marketing are allowed to be FUN. Then I remembered how much I bloody love collaging.

Turns out it shows, because the feedback’s been lush! ✨

October’s will drop end of the month so if you’re ready for a bit of BTS, design tips, and actual FREE STUFF you’ll use - get your name on the list! Link in bio.🌶️

This is my favourite part. When a brand stops being files on a screen and becomes something you can actually hold.

Social templates that look expert every time. A skincare menu that feels premium. Branded bottles, bags, the lot. All unmistakably reva 🖤

A brand that works everywhere Anna’s business shows up.

From beauty room to skin expert. Meet reva. Expert skincare and aesthetics, by Anna. 🤍

Here’s the thing about Anna. She’s a registered nurse. An acne specialist. She does chemical peels, microneedling, regenerative skin treatments. Hands down...a skin EXPERT!

But her old branding? Blurry canva swashy pinks, a bit sweet. It didn’t say “qualified skin professional” it stood out as another “beauty room”. Which Anna is NOT.

And that gap matters. Because when you don’t look as credible as you actually are, people hesitate from booking. Your branding is quietly costing you the exact clients you want.

So I gave Anna a brand that finally matches her expertise. Clean, elegant, grown up. Sleek, confident and clean. A brand that says “you’re in safe, expert hands” before she’s said a word ✨

Swipe for the before and after 👉

Anna, you’ve been a dream to work with! You’ve always been the expert. Now your brand says it too 🤍 Thank you for choosing me to bring your rebrand to life. 2026 Skin Specialist of the Year Finalist

Signed with my dream biz coach Emily Ramsden ✍️ CAN NOT WAIT. Super scary big biz decision, but bring on Nov for our VIP day 🙌

Been working with some really aligned clients lately 🖤 long may this continue.

Potty trained our 2.5 year old… feel like I officially don’t have a baby now there’s no nappies 🥹 And I love it. But please Frank, stop practising the hose pipe in public 😅

Really LOVING my newsletters 💌 Remembered I love collaging so thought let’s have some fun with these emails. Got some great feedback, so keep yours eyes peeled for Octobers 🍂

T H E S K I N T H E O R Y | Website Design

Lucy came to me in need of a website that matched her style and newly opened gorgeous retreat clinic.

Her current website (that she hadn’t even launched) just wasn’t matching her style, scroll across to see.

It was mostly built with ai - so it blended into the ai abyss, had zero personality and didn’t connect to her audience.

I changed this. And I also used ai - but with a designer’s eye...it lands differently.

Let’s make your website unmistakably yours. Free brand audit, link in bio.

Narindian. Part 3, bringing the brand into the real world 🍴

A logo alone is ok. But a brand that works in the real world, that you can hold, use and experience hits different.

I felt it was super important to showcase the branding across visuals Narinder could actually incorporate into the business like a luxe, quirky menu, branded workwear, napkins and takeaway bags 🍛

And honestly? It speaks for itself now.

Narindian is the authentic private Punjabi chef you've always wanted. Family recipes, real heart, and finally a brand that looks every bit as good as the food tastes.

Narinder, what an absolute joy. Your mum would be so proud 🧡 Can't wait to carry on working with you to continue to bring your gorgeous personality into your business for everyone to experience!

Narindian. Part 2, the brand evolution 🧡

I presented Narinder with two concept boards. I knew which one she’d go for, but I always show a second, starker option too. Comparison is everything, it helps you feel sure 🪔

Then the creative direction really took over. I went deep. Researching traditional Punjabi patterns, the landscape, recipes, language, writing, even the animals 🐅

But the bit that mattered most? The family. I brought in photographs of Narinder’s mum, who sadly passed away two years ago, and who is one of the whole reasons Narindian exists today. Weaving her into the brand was always the intention.

From there, we finalised the colours, tweaked the finer details and built out the full logo series. Including an icon that’s still unmistakably Narindian, even without the full text next to it ✨

Read part 3 for bringing it all to life. 👉
