A brand people remember – and buy from.
Visual identity for your store: logo, colours, typography and tone. I design it and then build it into Shopify myself, so the brand lives on every product page rather than in a manual. One person, from the logo to the finished store.
- Brand and store in one process
- Built to sell, not to win awards
- Consistent from business card to cart
No commitment · a written estimate within 24 hours
I know what makes a brand that sells.
I made my living as a graphic designer, then spent three years building my own Shopify brand – from the logo to more than €30,000 a month in revenue. I know the craft and I know what actually sells. I bring both to your brand: I design it and then build it into Shopify, so it is not merely handsome, it earns its keep.
Most studios hand you a beautiful brand manual and send you off to find a developer. I build the identity into the store myself – nothing gets lost between Figma and the code.

The whole identity, not just a logo.
A brand is a system, not a single picture. I build it so it holds from the business card through the product page to the box the order arrives in.
Logo & visual identity
A mark customers associate with you and nobody else. From the name, if you do not have one yet, to the logo and all its variants.
- A logo and the variants every placement needs
- Naming, when the brand has no name yet
- Icon, favicon and avatar, not only the big logo
Colour, type & art direction
The system that holds it all together – colour palette, typography, graphic elements and the way photography looks.
- Colour palette and typographic hierarchy
- Graphic elements and photographic style
- Art direction for ads and social
Tone & language
How the brand speaks, so it sounds like you rather than like everybody else. From the headline claim to the microcopy in the cart.
- Tone of voice and brand personality
- Claim and key phrases
- How to write on the store, in email and on social
Brand guidelines
The rules that keep the brand consistent without me – whether you work with it yourself or hand it to someone else.
- Rules for logo, colour and type
- Examples of right and wrong
- Templates ready to reuse
A brand does not live in a PDF. It lives on the store.
A beautiful identity nobody sees is worth nothing. So I design it for the places where the buying decision actually happens – and then build those myself.
Product page
Where the decision gets made. Visual work that supports it rather than pulling attention away.
Homepage & collections
A first impression in three seconds. Who you are and why buy here.
Cart & thank-you page
The last few metres to the order, and the first moment after it. The brand holds here too.
Emails & invoices
Confirmation, shipping, the receipt. Even a transactional email can look like the brand.
Packaging & unboxing
The moment the customer gets to touch the brand. Stickers, boxes, a thank-you card.
Social & advertising
Templates that keep you looking consistent, whoever is posting.
Designed and built, under one roof.
No handover between a brand agency and a development agency. What I design, I build. On larger projects I bring in specialists I have worked with for years – but I lead it from start to finish.
- 01Discovery & strategy
Who you are, who you sell to, what makes you different. Without this, even a beautiful logo is only decoration.
- 02Identity concept
I propose a direction, not ten variants thrown at a wall. You see where the brand is heading and we tune it together.
- 03Identity & guidelines
Logo, colour, type, tone and the rules around them. A complete system anyone can work with.
- 04Applied to Shopify
I build the store the brand comes alive on – or apply it to the one you already have.
For a brand, not for a picture.
Roughly: a logo and core identity land in the low thousands of euros, a complete brand built into a live store in the low tens of thousands. You get the exact number once it is clear what you actually need.
What drives the price
- Scope – from a logo to a full brand with tone of voice and guidelines
- Whether naming and strategy are part of it, or you already have a base
- How many applications – store, packaging, social, advertising
- Whether I design the identity or build it into a working store as well
Paid by phase
A deposit gets things moving, then you pay against identity milestones – concept, finished system, applied to the store. I bill agreed phases, not work in progress. What I will do and what it costs is in writing before I start drawing. Refinement inside the agreed scope is a given, not a line item.

What people ask me about branding.
I have a product and a vision but no brand. Can you build one from scratch?
That is exactly what this is for. If you have the product and you know who you want to sell it to, I will come up with the name, design the logo, colours, typography and tone, assemble a brand out of it – and then build it into the store. You do not need to hire a naming agency, a designer and a developer separately; it all happens in one process.
I want the whole store tooI only want a logo, not a whole identity. Is that possible?
It is. I will do the logo on its own, and I will be straight with you about how far it gets you: a logo without a system of colour, type and rules ends up looking slightly different every time it is used, and the brand falls apart. If you want to start small, we start with the logo and a core identity, and the rest follows when you are ready.
What is the difference between branding and a store redesign?
A brand is your identity – logo, colours, tone, the things a customer recognises you by. A redesign is a new look for one particular store. Sometimes the two go together (new brand, new store), sometimes one is enough. If you are not sure which you need, write a few sentences about your situation and I will tell you straight whether it is branding, a redesign, or both.
Redesign & custom developmentDo I only get a manual, or does the identity go live on the store?
Both, and that is my main difference. Alongside the guidelines I apply the brand to Shopify myself – product pages, homepage, cart, emails. You are not left with a PDF for the drawer; the identity starts living where your customers actually buy.
Do you do naming and packaging as well?
Yes. Naming when the brand does not have a name yet, and packaging as part of the identity – stickers, boxes, a thank-you card, the unboxing. I treat a brand as a whole, from the name to the moment somebody opens the parcel. What you actually need, we work out from your product.
What if the direction you propose is not right for me?
I do not build a final identity without your sign-off. First you see a concept – a direction, not ten variants thrown at a wall – and we tune it together until it fits. Only then do I develop the whole system. Rounds of feedback inside the agreed scope are not metered; the point is that the result fits you, not me.
Do I get the source files and full rights to the logo?
Yes, all of it is yours. When the work is done you get the logo source files in vector format, the fonts used, the colours and the guidelines – plus full rights to use the brand however you need. I do not hold on to you by withholding files; you can work with what I design on your own or with anyone else.
What if I already have a logo but it does not feel right?
I will look at it and tell you honestly whether it is worth building on or whether a new one is the better call. Sometimes the logo only needs refining and a system built around it; sometimes starting again is simply more honest. I do not recommend a rebuild to give myself more work – if it does its job, it stays.
What does a custom brand cost?
Roughly: a logo and core identity land in the low thousands of euros, a complete brand applied to a live store in the low tens of thousands. A price list cannot really capture it – write a few sentences about what you need and within 24 hours you will have a written ballpark. Free, and no call needed.
Get a ballpark figureHow long does building a brand take?
A logo and core identity usually run to a few weeks; a complete brand applied to a store takes longer depending on scope. What matters most is how quickly you come back with feedback. You get a schedule with milestones in the quote, so you know what you are approving and when.
When is investing in a brand worth it?
When you do not want to be interchangeable. Starting on a template with an off-the-shelf logo is a legitimate way to begin – but the moment ten similar stores are standing next to you and price is the only difference, the brand is what lifts you out of the row. And now that anyone can generate a logo with AI and they are all starting to look alike, a custom brand separates you even further. If what you really need right now is to get sales moving and branding can wait, I will say so.
