Frequently asked questions

How long does a rebrand take?

A full rebrand typically takes 6-10 weeks depending on scope. A brand refresh (updating an existing identity) can be done in 3-4 weeks.

What's the difference between a brand refresh and a full rebrand?

A refresh updates and modernises your existing identity while keeping the core recognisable. A full rebrand starts from strategy and builds a completely new visual identity, positioning, and voice.

Do you design logos?

Yes, but a logo is part of a broader visual identity system. I design logos alongside colour palettes, typography, iconography, and usage guidelines so everything works together.

What do I get at the end of a branding project?

A complete brand book with your logo (all formats and variations), colour specifications, typography, iconography, photography direction, usage rules, and templates for common applications like social media, documents, and presentations.

Can you help with brand strategy or just visuals?

Both. I can work from an existing strategy or help you define your positioning, audience, messaging framework, and competitive differentiation before any visual work begins.
