“The whole Press is incredibly happy with the work Nicky did on our rebrand. We’ve had nothing but positive feedback on our new logo and visuals. The branding guidelines she provided have already been helpful on a number of projects and the whole process ran smoothly and professionally. In particular, Nicky’s collaborative approach to defining our mission, vision and values resulted in a much stronger and more articulate document which has helped inform our future strategy and inspire the team.”

 

Katharine Nelson, University of London Press

“Working with Nicky was such an energising, enjoyable experience: she took the time and trouble to understand our ambitions . . . and the way she helped us articulate our values and personality has benefited us in every aspect of marketing. The design process was collaborative and clear: at each stage Nicky sought our feedback and listened deeply, refining her ideas, until we had a visual identity that simply delighted us and encapsulated the brand perfectly. I cannot recommend Nicky highly enough.”
