Hello,
I’m Holly.

I’m a brand therapist and creative consultant helping SMEs, local organisations, and purpose-led businesses strengthen their brand, attract investment, and create real impact in their communities.

I work with businesses who focus on growth, environmental or social change, striving to strengthen employer retention and customer satisfaction. I’ll help you reconnect with who you are so your brand shows up with clarity, consistency, and confidence.

I work with founders and teams to align your voice, visuals, and customer journey, so your digital presence feels just as strong and authentic as the real-life experience of your business. From brand blocks to website friction, I bring creative clarity and emotive storytelling that builds trust, connection, and a brand people remember, return to, and recommend.
