So, who am I?

Hi, I'm Miranda!

A graphic designer, solopreneur & your no-BS design & branding coach. I’m also a tea addict, family girl & early-morning runner with my pups, Luna & Marley.

I’ve been in the design world for 30+ years (yep, before Canva was even a thing). I started in agencies, worked on big fancy brands, but after a decade in the corporate grind, I wanted out. More freedom, more creativity, more time with my family. So, I ditched the 9-to-5 & started my own design studio – & I’ve never looked back!

However, in recent years, one thing has become crystal clear – business owners & content creators alike are craving a polished brand but are either stuck without the budget for a designer or completely overwhelmed trying to DIY it.

And I GET IT!

Building your own business (or supporting someone else’s) is a LOT. There are a million things to juggle – clients, content, marketing, finances – & branding is just one piece of the puzzle. In my own studio, I’ve had to figure out ways to work smarter, not harder: how to create structured content, systems & design hacks that save time while still creating visuals my clients love, trust & happily pay me for.

Now? I’m sharing those secrets with you – whether you’re building your own brand or creating visuals for clients – so you can ditch the stress, confusion or cringey designs. Because your brand should look legit, feel like you & help your business grow. And I’m here to make sure it does!

What does your biz need?

🎨 A brand that turns heads
So you’re not just blending in online – you're standing out with purpose & personality.

👍🏻 Graphics that actually feel on-brand
No more second-guessing every colour, font or layout. You’ll know exactly what works (& why).

🤩 A polished, consistent online presence
So your audience instantly gets what you’re about – & why you’re the one they’ve been looking for.

⏰ A system that saves HOURS
Because whether you’re running your own show or designing for clients – you’ve got better things to do than fuss over fonts all day.
