Good design makes a difference.
Not everything needs a complete rebrand or a brand-new website. Sometimes you just need something designed properly. A poster that actually gets noticed. A menu people can navigate without squinting. Social graphics that finally look like they belong together. A brochure you're happy to hand someone. Or that slightly unusual idea you've had sitting in your head that you're not quite sure how to make real.
That's where I come in. At SUMWEN Studio, I create thoughtful, good-looking graphic design for businesses, brands, events and people who want their stuff to look a little less ordinary.
From small ideas to big ones, I work across both digital and physical design, creating individual pieces when you need them or developing a consistent collection of assets around your existing brand.
From small ideas to big ones
Graphic design covers a pretty wide stretch of coastline. I work across both digital and physical design, creating individual pieces when you need them or developing a consistent collection of assets around your existing brand.
That could include:
- Posters and flyers
- Business cards
- Brochures and leaflets
- Menus and price lists
- Social media graphics
- Digital adverts
- Banners and signage
- Event graphics
- Presentation design
- Packaging and labels
- Stickers
- Clothing and merchandise graphics
- Print advertising
- Email graphics
- Website assets
- Promotional material
- Custom illustrations and artwork
Design that feels like your brand
Good graphic design isn't just about making something look nice. Whatever we're creating should feel connected to the business behind it.
If you already have established branding, I'll work within it, using your colours, typography, imagery and overall style to create something that feels naturally yours. If things are currently a little inconsistent, we can tidy that up along the way too.
The aim is that whether someone sees your Instagram post, picks up your flyer or walks past your signage, there's a little thread running through all of it.
Digital design
A huge amount of what we see now lives on a screen. I can create digital assets specifically designed for websites, social media, advertising, email campaigns, presentations and other online platforms.
Everything is considered for where it'll actually appear rather than designing one graphic and awkwardly squeezing it into seventeen different shapes afterwards. Square, portrait, landscape, mobile, desktop, we'll make it work where it needs to work.
Print design
Print isn't dead. Far from it. There's still something satisfying about a properly designed piece of print you can actually hold.
From business cards and brochures to posters, menus, packaging and signage, I can create artwork ready for professional printing and help make sure dimensions, resolution, bleed and all the slightly less exciting technical bits are right too.
You get something that looks good on the screen and when the box eventually turns up at your door.
Merchandise & clothing
Got an idea you'd quite like to wear? I can create artwork and graphics specifically for clothing, merchandise and branded products.
That might be a clean company T-shirt, an embroidered chest mark, a full-back graphic, a run of stickers or something that feels more like an actual clothing brand than traditional company merch. Because putting a massive logo across a hoodie isn't always the answer.
Need something yesterday?
I won't pretend every project begins with a beautifully organised three-month creative brief. Sometimes you've got an event next week, you've suddenly realised you need a poster and the current version was made in Word in 2014. It happens.
For smaller design jobs, I keep the process straightforward. Send over what you've got, tell me what you need and we'll work out the best way forward.
One designer | me. Lots of possibilities.
SUMWEN Studio is an independent studio, which means you'll work directly with me. No account managers. No bouncing between departments. And no need to write a six-page brief before we can have a conversation.
You can send me a rough sketch, a screenshot, some inspiration, a slightly questionable drawing from your notes app or simply explain the idea. I'll turn it into something polished.
Got something in mind?
Big project, little project or something you're not entirely sure how to describe yet, send it my way. Tell me what you're thinking and let's make it look good.
