T H E S TO RY

six weeks to elevate Elevate is a unique and exciting mentoring programme for brand designers committed to excellence. Through a carefully curated collection of content, group teachings and most importantly, one to one feedback, each participant their vision, their process and the potential for their business along the way.

This is the third Elevate programme I’ve run and it’s been a true joy to once again work with a collective of passionate designers. Some have arrived as experienced brand designers, others have begun from a completely blank slate. All of them have worked hard and achieved exceptional things in a very short space of time.

The journey you’ll see charts their progress across three projects from their initial project right through to their final submission. Nine briefs to choose from, three projects to work on and six rounds of personalised feedback from me, along with group notes that pick up on key process themes has meant that we’ve been able to elevate at an incredible pace.

Each has brought with them a unique level of skill and experience and they finish this class at different levels. There was no prerequisite level for joining and no ‘pass mark’ at the end. Instead, the focus has been on elevating

So let’s say a big Cheers to The Elevate Collective, Class of 2022.

Do soak up the creative inspiration on their websites, show them some love on Instagram and put them under consideration for your next branding project. Enjoy!

riley campbell Riley arrived at Elevate with exquisite taste and a flair for beautiful robustness and intention to each branding project and the impact on Riley’s work has been extraordinary. She’s now developed a really robust approach that combines stunning aesthetics with a strong sense of resonance. Riley’s work now feels so much more purposeful, distinctive and uniquely responsive to the brief she is working on and this really plays out in The Toad project: one which brought tears of joy to my eyes. IDCO are already blazing a strong trail in the world of interior design and I know that this is going to help them achieve even greater things.

Studio Poulsen is inspired by it’s connection to nature, on one hand through the creative work with clay, on the other through the studio’s setting in a West Sussex garden studio, surrounded by flowers. The work is characterized by simplicity and timelessness and a meditative creative process. Everything is hand-crafted and unique.

Working with her one to one throughout this programme has been a joy and helping Nancy tweak and refine her work to take it to even greater heights a true delight.

brooke mcgowan Creative powerhouse Brooke arrived at Elevate as a textile designer with absolutely no design training and what she has achieved across flair for a strong creative vision, for pushing the creative boundaries and seeing the potential in a project and what’s been thrilling is to help her channel that into brand design. Brooke’s design skills have elevated at a rate of knots and her work for Gatherings at Treviscoe took our breath away whilst The Toad presentation just can’t help but make you smile! It’s been such a joy working with someone with boundless levels of creativity and I am really looking forward to seeing what Brooke does next. Whatever it is, it’s going to be exciting!

POPPY MWANGI has been quietly tending her plot and creating moments of floral magic since she moved to her Cornish smallholding in 2014 and has slowly but surely built an international reputation. A book deal is in the offing, and she is currently filming a beautiful online course where she shares her growing and arranging secrets.

Her trademark loose, natural and wild floral style has seen her arrange for some of the most high end weddings in the South West and she is becoming one of the most sought after stylists with brands and editorial.

Poppy has an eye for mixing her coveted seasonal blooms alongside foraged stems and treasures from the hedgerow and her style is instantly recognisable.

A proponent of the slow-flower movement, Poppy’s farm takes an environmentally kind approach to growing. Whilst she isn’t yet quite fully organic, the plot is completely chemical free and she is an advocate of the no-dig approach.

kirsty northover journey during the last six weeks. I often find that brand photographers have a great eye for a strong aesthetic, and Kirsty was no different, however, she began the course frustrated that she couldn’t seem to make her brand identity ideas a reality and finishes just six weeks later with a really strong process under her belt and a beautiful collection of work to boot. I know that this is just the start of Kirsty’s brand design career and I’m so excited to see her continue to evolve and grow.

Josephine Poulsen is a highly sought after ceramic artist with an instantly recognisable trademark style of simple, natural and textural pieces that are free from added colourants. This light yet grounded style appeals to both collectors and interior designers who desire a minimal pared-back aesthetic.

Evoking feelings of calm tranquility, her sculptural pieces add softness and interest to minimally adorned spaces and as such Jospehine has created a cult following, with an average waiting list of 2-years for her custom creations.

Originally from Kenya, Poppy Mwangi has worked slowly and surely to build an international career as a top Floral Stylist.

· E L E V A T E class of 2 0 2 2 ·

Although it has been an honour and creatively inspiring to be commissioned for the most stylish weddings in the South West, she has always been drawn to the issues of environment and social justice.

Drawn to the dramatic and inspring beauty surrounding her Cornish home in Treviscoe, she’s also aware of the lack of career opportunities in the local area. She hopes the new direction of her business will enable her to contribute to the local econmony and build opportunities and community.

Proud of her heritage, she also wants to use her international status to influence and create positive change within the flower growing industries – particularly in Kenya where workers are often subject poor wages and working conditions.

Gatherings at Treviscoe will be a community hub of learning, inspiration and creativity, both locally and (through online), globally, with the magic of flowers at it’s heart and Poppy’s.

laura grant Laura is an accomplished and talented brand designer and our focus for her Elevate journey was ensuring that her designs met the brief the (stunning) designs captured the nuanced essence of the brand, whether the details created the right feeling and whether the design would move the business forwards in the right way. Amazing design skills combined with true intention is a magical combination and I’m excited to have helped Laura move forwards in this area. You’ll see a stunning collection of work here from the get go and what I hope you’ll also notice is that as the course goes on, the designs become more resonant and the vision more clear. A winning combination!

Social Media Manager Irina joined Elevate as a complete beginner and has worked exceptionally hard to develop her design, creative and visioning skills. The pace at which her work has transformed has been staggering and whilst she might be right at the start of her journey, she begins from a really solid grounding and with some great insights that will stand her in great stead as she builds out her skillset. Irina has brought such energy and enthusiasm to the process and I’m so excited for this new stage of her career.

karen constanti An experienced book and editorial designer, Liz completed Elevate alongside a very full time job and has achieved some staggering approach to graphic design and Liz needed to dig very deep in order to consistently deliver on the briefs. What she has achieved in these six weeks has been astonishing and I think you’ll see that very clearly in these three projects. Karen now has a strong creative process that allows her to confidently navigate a brief, deliver on a unique set of client expectations and work with flair and joy throughout the process. I’m so looking forward to seeing Karen diversify her work and know that the progress that she has made is going to only continue as she brings this same rigorous and thoughtful approach to her client work.

ULLSWATER DISTILLERY BRAND PRESENTATION · E L E V A T E class of 2 0 2 2 ·

BRAND CLARITY Ullswater Distillery is a small batch craft distillery. The owners, Luke and James are young, ambitious and passionate about using local botanicals foraged from the surrounding hedgerows of their home the Lake District. It is important that this is reflected in the brand.

They also grow botanicas for their seasonal flavours in Jame’s Mum’s garden. The business therefor has a small family feel and is rooted in the surrounding beautiful nature of the Lake District where both Luke and James grew up.

They make small batches of craft gin, so the brand needs to have an artisan feel. They are young and ambitious there is potential to scale their business to go national so this needs to be reflected in the brand too. It needs to be refined and contemporary and young in it’s outlook to reflect the owners of the business.

artistic taste and also experience of running large scale events so bring a creative flair and flourish that makes it a destination eatery. The newly renovated building and walled garden combine the old stonework with the newness of the contemporary and relaxed interior decor. The artisan food is locally sourced and grown in the adjoining walled kitchen garden. The owners have a vision not only to run events and the restaurant but to open a small shop and possibly eventually extending in order to host private events. The branding needs to reflect this. It needs to stand out in it’s uniqueness and yet be timeless and reflect the surrounding countryside and the overall artistic style of the business.

THE THOUGHT PROCESS

When crafting your primary logo we wanted to lean into the one-of-a-kind, artistic approach you take to your work. We started with the perfect serif font that feels classic and timeless. With the thick to thin line weight in the serif font and spacing between the letterforms, the logo as a whole feels airy and has just the right amount of simplicity. We wanted your logo

pieces and chose the L letter form so do so, as it additionally creates symmetry and balance to the eye. All together, your full branding suite feels quiet and still without being stagnant.

CHEERS!

here’s to the class of 2022!

Here’s to the Elevated Designers Class of 2022! They really have worked so hard at refining and developing the work you see here and I know that for many, the journey has just begun.

What these guys have achieved in six short weeks is nothing short of astonishing and I and continue to grow and evolve their work.

One of the things I love about Elevate is that it works at so many levels. For this intake, we had a large cohort of designers starting right at the beginning and you’ll see the transformation in their work very clearly as you look through each project.

For the more experienced designers, the elevation happened behind the scenes. It was about kickstarting their creativity, rebuilding their confidence and finessing their process. It was about encouraging them to think bigger, aim higher and put their focus and energy on creating the very best work possible.

The next Elevate programme will begin in February 2023 and I’m already really looking forward to welcoming the next collective to the party. Bookings are open now.

I do hope you’ll consider joining us, find out more at thebrand-stylist.com/elevate Fiona

FAQ ’ S

DO YOU R ECOMMEND THESE DESIGNER S? My recommendations for designers are always based on your unique needs as a business, so I don’t unreservedly recommend any designer: even those I work with regularly. To make a recommendation to you, I’d need to work with you one to one. I’d need to understand your business, create a vision for your brand and get to know you as a person.

Here, you’ll find a collective of designers who are serious about elevating their own brand design work from their unique starting points. Each has achieved some incredible things and I encourage you to enjoy browsing their websites and following the same guidelines for selecting a designer that I’ve outlined in How to Style your Brand and the Brilliant Brand Designer Edits. They’ve created some seriously inspiring work and I’m sure you’ll be seeing lots more of them in the future!
