A dreamy project 🤍

I’ve been lucky enough to work with Chester and Anna from Park Nook Cottages over the past year, after they saw my name on other cottage websites (The Courtyard Yorkshire and Crayke Cottages).

Capturing their beautiful landscapes and surroundings, the brand identity features a replica of the tree within the cottage’s vista 🌳 The colour palette was also inspired by the outdoors - from the green fields beyond, to the paint colour used on the doors. Each cottage also has its own version of the complete brand identity.

Although the website doesn’t feature an embedded booking system, ‘Book your Stay’ dropdown menus (in both the Header and Footer) - as well as cottage overview pages - provide individual booking links to each of the cottage’s calendars.

Are these images making anyone else feel like going on an adventure in the outdoors? 🥾

If you’re ready for a brand identity that feels like you, let’s create your vision.

As we move into Autumn I thought I’d share a roundup of some of my Summer highlights 🌞🏃‍♀️⛰️

Let’s go ‘site’ seeing ⛱️👀

PRACTICE is a Private Fitness Studio in York.

🌞 Transparent header feels contemporary
🗺️ Clear CTAs throughout the website
⛵️ Sections are optimised for mobile devices
🏝️ Expandable text boxes to reduce overwhelm
✌️ Pop-up to focus on offers

Thoughtful design, clear structure and a strong visual identity can create a website that connects with the right people.

Hey, I’m Sophie (also known as Soph) 👋

I’ve never shared my journey on here before so, since this is where it all started, here’s a little intro post.

I’m a Yorkshire-based Website and Brand Designer, turning my clients’ visions into reality 🤩

From Dog Walkers, to Psychotherapists, Soft Play Areas, Holiday Cottages and everywhere in between - I’ve been lucky enough to work with some amazing clients since 2020.

A few facts about me…
🏃‍♀️ I love keeping fit- whether it’s the weekly Parkrun, a Zumba or Body Attack class
🌞 Along the same lines, I love a long walk or Summer bike ride
🌅 I’m an early riser
🎶 A fan of a variety of music artists from Shania Twain to Lady Gaga, One Direction and MIKA
🎃 Born in October
🏔️ Happy in the Austrian mountains
🧶 Three years later and I’m still a beginner knitter (but I’ve completed five jumpers)
🏠 I’m based near York
🦉 I’ve just reached a 1000 day streak on Duolingo, learning German

Over a year later and I’m finally getting around to sharing the refreshed brand identity for Words by Friya 🖋️

Friya is a freelance creative copywriter, working with brands from Eurostar, to Burt’s Bees, to Costa Coffee.

With an existing logo designed years ago and a lack of colour 🎨 scheme in place, Friya was ready for an update.

Friya’s logo encapsulates her career - with the i’s tittle subtly amended to incorporate a quill-like nib.
In contrast, in the Secondary Logo the tagline is placed to the right of the main logo graphic - separated by a line; This almost emulates a cursor (another nod to Friya’s copywriting services).

It was a joy to work together to rebrand Words by Friya 🤍

Here’s why you need more than one logo for your business ⭐️

When working with my clients, I always provide at least three logo variations:
Primary Logo
Secondary Logo
Brand Mark

Having a set of three logos creates a versatile brand identity 🎨 and allows you to use your logos where they work best.

Do you have different variations of your logo?

sallyparkermarketing is your go-to marketing specialist 💚

Featuring bold branding by faced.designs, it was such a joy to bring Sally’s visuals to life on her website.

Sally’s website not only conveys her marketing services (with individual landing pages for each), but also highlights her expertise ✨

We also worked together to design and set up a MailerLite automation 📧 for a guide on 5 Quick Wins to Boost your Small Business Marketing.

Sometimes you just need another set of eyes on your design, to create the vision you had in mind ✨

Earlier this year I worked with John from Tree2Bar to give his website a refresh and improve the navigability.

Working towards a set launch date, I added elements such as accordions to make sections with lots of text less overwhelming - as well as static gallery sliders to display multiple images in one section 🍫

Text was split into multiple, digestible, sections and illustrations from the Tree2Bar branding 🌳 were also added as faded background elements, to add dimension and create differentiation between sections.

If your website doesn’t quite feel right or you’re embarrassed to share your URL, let’s chat to see how I can help.

May Monthly Recap 🌊

May has such a varied month, bank holiday days out, fun in the sun (including a bike ride), with projects going on behind the scenes and I’m looking forward to continuing throughout June ☺️

🏃‍♀️ I’ve been loving going to run club every week and exploring new routes, training for the GNR in September.

New projects I’ve started this month include a branding project for a transformational coach, as well as a website design for a recruiter and continued designs for a specialised surgeon (I’ve just finished the first draft for the website design)👩🏼‍💻

🗺️ Out of office adventures have included visits to the seaside, bike rides, enjoying a Rudy’s pizza and many walks.

✏️ I’ve been getting ready to start a new website design project in June, as well as preparing for other projects coming up over the next few months.

How was your May (and what plans do you have for June)?

Let’s take a look at ’s recently refreshed website 📷

I really enjoyed working with Jo-Anna across the end of last year and beginning of this year, to create the vision that Jo-Anna had in mind.

Jo-Anna already had a logo and an existing website, but we gave both of these a refresh 🌸 to create a brand identity and website visuals that would speak to the lovers and the moon-gazers.

Developing a new colour palette to embody Jo-Anna’s whimsical wedding photography, we added line-drawn illustrations within the logo (and throughout the site) to enhance the style.

The website now truly shows off Jo-Anna’s work, including a ‘Love Stories’ style blog to capture the individuality of each photoshoot ✨

If you’re ready to add a bit more personality into your branding or website, let’s chat.
