Jili Allen Creative

Another really lovely client review came in while I was away, here's the full Monty:

"Embarking on a complete change of career can be daunting, and there are some things you just can't leave to chance.

As a newly qualified celebrant, my website was an important part of my setup, establishing my credibility and opening my virtual doors for business.

I'm so glad I worked with Jili...my website has been praised by everyone who's seen it, with one celebrant telling me it's the best celebrant website they've seen.

High praise, but all worthy.

Jili takes the time to get to know you, and your business. As a celebrant, my website has to be an extension of my own personality and style, it's why my clients work with me, and my website does just that.

It's professional, amazingly well designed and branded, but authentically me. And all of that is because of the great work of Jili Allen Creative.

I can't thank them enough for their support and guidance...and patience!

I'd recommend them to anyone looking for quality, creative flair, professionalism and friendliness.

Top notch."

Happy Friday! I have been a wall of social media radio silence (unless of course you follow my personal account 🤣 🛵 🇮🇹 ) as I have been off on big birthday celebrations soaking up some italian sunshine and getting my fix of masterpieces both architectural and classically art. Bellissima!

Do not fear, I shall once again be bothering you with wonderful social media posts, once I have waded through the inbox and joyous pile of projects.

Wishing you a wonderful weekend when it comes ✨

The act of creativity is a gift all in itself ❤️

An appreciation shout-out today! As a designer, we come into contact with a lot of wonderful (and sometimes, unfortunately, not-quite-so-wonderful) suppliers to take care of aspects like print and photography.

I’d like to shout out the lovely Lucy at , for regaining my client’s confidence in sign makers. After not one, but two failed engagements with local suppliers (accepting the work and then ghosting) we are booked in in a couple of weeks to transform the Yoga Studio & Independent Shop in the Devonshire Arcade, Penrith.

Lucy has been brilliant, and can’t wait to see the results. 🟩 🟧 🟪

is coming to Penrith next month care of the fantastic and Zero Carbon Cumbria. A great community festival and initiave happening not just locally, but nationally too! We work with some fantastic sustainability-focused organisations on both brand and website design, and PACT is the latest. We recently refreshed their branding and palette, along with designing custom illustrations and icons to be used across the low-carbon website framework we designed and built for them. Last week, we were asked to create additional more detailed illustrations of specific ‘scenes’ which we were delighted to help with.

Illustration is a great way of giving a brand a more human feel amongst the dirge of AI generated content, and did you know, if done right, it can also have a lower carbon footprint than imagery. 💚

Looking for ways to highlight the human in your branding, or reduce the carbon in your comms? Give us a call to chat it through. In the meantime, check out the full schedule of events at https://www.penrithact.org.uk/events/great-big-green-week-2026/

What do graphic designers do on a night away from the laptop you may ask? We get inspired, and we get educated.

Well last week, myself and the brilliant from , went to a guest lecture at by the incredibly knowledgeable and generally wonderful Martin Kinnear on the Anatomy of a Painting - informative, inspiring and intellectual.

Definitely made me want to explore paint and embrace expression

Happy weekend campers!

Community-driven campaigns amplify voices, foster connections, and drive change that truly resonates, and the design behind those, can help not only capture attention, but also convey messages effectively.

As a big believer in social self-tithing, proud to help with some design elements for a great community campaign - to save our local Squash & Racketball Club - that went live last week. A properly lovely, welcoming and supportive club (even when I can barely serve 🤪) they definitely deserve to keep going and become bigger, better and supported in turn.

Top way to keep fit and excellent stress relief 🤣 if you’re local to Penrith & Eden (or even if you’re not!) please donate if you can to their crowdfunder appeal

Help us save and transform our squash club—keeping it safe, thriving, and at the heart of our community for generations to come
