Have you ever looked at someone’s brand and thought, ‘Man, that business has got their sh#% together! How did they do that? How does their brand look so polished and so uniquely them!?’ The reason they ‘have it all together’ is because they’ve thought about their brand as a ‘whole’ persona. Successful brands know that their brand isn’t just about their logo.  They know that it’s all about a business’s ‘personality’ and ‘unique look’ coming together through every touchpoint: your website, your social media,…

In April, we moved into our new office space at the top of Denham Street. What we love most about the space is that it's completely surrounded by nature - which is perfect for creativity and ideas! We don't want to keep all of this goodness to ourselves though... So we've decided to share this beautiful space with a very special entrepreneur! Inside our open plan design studio is a private studio space which is light-filled, quiet and peaceful. We're putting the call out to anyone who might be interested…

I’ve put off taking a holiday while running a business… well… since I’ve owned a business. Sure, I’ve taken small, weekly trips here and there but I’ve never carved out a block of time - four weeks to be exact - away from my baby. The truth is, you don’t think anyone can operate your business as well as you. ...or so I thought.

When physical gifts seemed so typical and ill-fitting, she decided a gift experience was the way to go! Our watercolour workshops ran over four…

Confession time: I love lists. I write at least three lists in a day for all sorts of different things. At the start of everyday, you’ll find me writing a list of tasks and projects I need to complete (and in what order of importance).  I’ll also often write a list for the groceries I need to buy, of the chores I need to do when I get home, of the books I need to read, of my favourite blogs or websites, of things…

If you followed us on Instagram or Facebook last week you would have picked up some hints that we ‘painted' our office mural. And by ‘painted’ I mean we covered up the office in plastic sheets and threw buckets of colourful paint at a wall!!! Yikes!! It was exhilarating, exciting, fun, and very playful (not to mention a little messy!) Like any creative process - the planning stages are the most important, and this is the secret recipe to creative success. In planning any…
