I couldn't recommend Steph more highly. We chose to work with Steph because of her talent as an illustrator as well as graphic designer. Her work was consistently presented in such a professional manner, she was great at communicating timelines and always so friendly. She absolutely nailed our brief and we are beyond excited to get our new branding and packaging launched!

I had a clear vision of how I wanted our new branding to look but was nervous about picking the right person to bring it to life. From the very first call, Steph understood what we were creating and evolved it further than we ever thought possible. The creative process was clearly communicated, fairly costed and every deadline was met. Feedback rounds were concise and actioned quickly too. The final output: brand guidelines, website, animations, social templates, logos and fonts - all of which were curated and presented professionally and beautifully. The feedback since launching Playmaker Creative Club has consistently been related to how amazing the branding looks. Since then, we've made clothing, won new business, shot some awesome brand content and created thriving blogs and social accounts all spawned from the incredible work by Steph. I couldn't recommend her enough to businesses of all sizes. If you want to level up your branding with someone who is reliable, thoughtful, creative and accountable then look no further.

Honestly could not have dreamed of so much amazing stuff! Youโve done such an amazing job. I thought the teamโs eyes were going to pop out when they saw it all!
LOVE LOVE LOVE the work you have done, I showed someone else in the team and they physically gasped on the call because it was so good!

I have worked with Steph for about 5 years, on and off. And when I say โon and offโ, I mean whenever she has gone off to travel or freelance on other things, I always try and get her back to work on my projects!
I really enjoy and trust working with Steph. Her work ethic and pace is awesome whilst her combined skill set of designer, art director and illustrator are a compelling combination. That, paired with her super strong, girl power championing, boss female attitude - not only makes her a brilliant talent to work with but also someone to be inspired by
