Who says branding has to be slow?🦥

I take brands from 0-100 with bold visuals, rebellious attitude, and no safe approach.

⚡ Loud design, quick turnaround.
⚡ Branding that actually gets you moving.
⚡ One guy. One pencil. Unlimited creative fire.

Your brand’s next move starts now.🤘

If people don’t get what you do, that’s a branding problem.😬

Confusion doesn’t just make things awkward - it costs you business. 💸

🚨 The Cost of a Confusing Brand:

🏃‍♂️Customers don’t get it - so they move on.
🎤 Sales teams fumble their pitch.
📉 Marketing flops because no one understands the message.
🤷‍♀️ Your own employees aren’t sure how to talk about your business.

✅ The Fix? A Visual Brand Identity That Actually Works.

💡 Get clear on your identity – Be memorable, be different, be you.
🔊 Find your voice – Speak in a way that actually resonates.
📚 Make sure everyone’s on the same page – Leadership, employees, and even your nan should be able to sum up what you do.

When your brand is clear, everything clicks. ✨ Sales get easier, marketing actually works, and customers trust you more.

If your branding is all over the place, let’s fix that. Let’s talk. 🚀

Bringing a brand to life. 🎭🌿

When the Cannock Chase Theatre Trust reached out to me, they needed more than just a logo - they needed a visual identity that captured their passion for theatre and connection to the local community.

At the heart of that identity is their logo mark, a design that blends theatre curtains, a pine tree, and an arrow, symbolising creativity, growth, and their mission to preserve one of Cannock’s cultural hubs.

The Trust is working hard to save and revitalise the Prince of Wales Theatre, ensuring it remains a thriving space for performances, creativity, and community events.

This reel takes you behind the scenes of how I designed their logo mark - let me know what you think! 👀👇

🚀 From juggling design and marketing to navigating career shifts, failures, and big life changes—here’s my journey so far.

It’s been a rollercoaster of freelancing attempts, industry moves, buying a house, and figuring out what I truly want. A redundancy in 2023 gave me the push I needed, and now I’m running AP Creates, doing what I love.

Now it’s been a good month or so since I completed the brand identity for Alfie’s World of Adventures, I thought now would be a good time to talk about how well he’s been doing on his YouTube channel.🎉

Alfie’s channel is all about exploring the world through a child’s eyes - fun, light-hearted, and inspirational for families everywhere.🌍

From designing a playful mascot to creating a cohesive visual identity, this project has been incredibly rewarding!✏️ When I took the project on, his channel had roughly 4.3k subscribers, now with a fresh brand identity and upping the quality of his content, Alfie now sits at 6.2k+ subscribers (making that a 45% increase🥳).

🎥 Check out Alfie’s adventures and the branding in action: https://youtube.com/?si=-1hHLdaqntUvGBGm

Thank you to Alfie and his family for trusting me to bring their vision to life. Here’s to more exciting branding projects ahead! 🚀

Travel around the world with Alfie as he shows you hotels and destinations through a child’s eye!

If you’ve ever wondered why working with a freelance graphic designer is different from using Canva or other DIY platforms, take a look at my Creative Process page on the website. It’s all about collaboration, personalisation, and designing something truly unique for you: https://shorturl.at/MzBQv

Just wrapped up an exciting project for Designer Travel by Angela Briggs! Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been busy designing an eye-catching A3 tabletop roller banner, standard roller banners, and a custom laptop skin to help Angela make a big impact at networking events.✈️

After an initial discovery call with Angela, we decided to steer towards visually engaging designs that would truly stand out. Mission accomplished! I'm thrilled with how everything turned out.😁

And to make things even easier for Angela, I took full ownership of the project from start to finish, including sending the artwork to print.🖨️
