HAPPY CLIENTS

  • “I have worked with Louisa for many years and the quality of her work is superb. In the past year, Louisa has designed our five-year business plan for us, creating fantastic infographics that help us clearly and visually depict our results, and helped us secure a resounding fourth term for our Business Improvement District. She is highly creative, super easy to work with, absolutely no drama or missed deadlines, and I thoroughly recommend working with her.”

    Emily Campbell Johnston, Essential Edinburgh

  • “Louisa creates the various assets for our digital & print campaigns, and we truly enjoy working with her. Her experience & skills result in a flawless execution, often way ahead of deadlines. On top of that, she’s super friendly, which makes communications very comfortable (and responsive). The results speak for themselves! Would definitely recommend her!”

    Matthias Genetzke, Broadlands

  • “Louisa is precisely the kind of designer (and human!) you want on your team. She is conscientious, detail-oriented, and unbelievably organized — not to mention she is a brilliant designer. I cannot tell you what a relief it is to pass off a project to Louisa and know without a doubt that she has it handled. And not merely handled, but completed with such care. Louisa continues to exceed my expectations at every turn, and it helps that her sense of humor floats us through any challenging patches with ease and humility.”

    Maggie Gentry, MaggieGentry LLC

  • “I’ve worked with Louisa for many years and I know I can always trust her with my work. She has supported me through many projects with high quality design and professionalism. She always takes time to understand what I want to achieve and has a good eye for detail. My clients rave about her and I love that she can be in direct contact with them and create amazing work with the provided brand identity. I look forward to continuing to work with her.”

    Hanna Trogstad, The Wildly Design

  • “Louisa is an organised and capable creative with a broad skillset. Her combination of talents have helped us deliver an extraordinary range of design, video, and customer engagement projects all benefitting from her attention to detail, clarity of vision and ability to deliver on time.”

    Howard Elwyn-Jones, Prettybright

  • “Louisa came up with great ideas for my videos and helped me film skincare tutorials for my newsletters and website. She also creates video content and designs for my Instagram. She is so creative with her work and I have learned so much from her. I was an absolute novice with filming and social media but she has guided me every step of the way. I would recommend Louisa to anyone. I love working with her!”

    Kat Buckley, Skin by Kat Buckley

  • “It’s always good to work with Louisa. She’s dependable and has a keen eye on requirements and detailed outcomes. She has worked with us many times and helped IRSE achieve a variety of projects… from live-streaming technical meetings to working with the team to prepare communications for our world wide membership. All done with the attention to detail and timely response we’ve needed.”

    Judith Ward, IRSE

  • “I don’t know what I would have done without Louisa. Her quick insight into our unique mission and product fueled thoughtful designs, and her guidance ensured a seamless representation of our company to use in our marketing strategy, both in print and online. She makes us look good!”

    Erica Pollock, Return Refreshed

  • “Louisa is proactive, reliable and efficient. As a client of Louisa's I always feel that she demonstrates an empathy and an understanding of what we are trying to achieve. We love working with her.”

    Polly Whyte, IRSE

  • "Louisa worked on a video project for our local primary school. The lighting conditions were tricky and the sound had lots of challenges, but Louisa problem solved how to fix both issues. Watching the video she created made me cry with happiness! She was wonderful to work with - both friendly and professional. I would absolutely recommend her and use her again!"

    Tanya Smith, Kings Worthy Primary School
