Dainty Forest - Joyful Design
Spotted on Instagram, Nottingham based Emma has worked with clients worldwide.
Her design philosophy centres around joy and connection. Emma believes that 'a well-crafted brand is more than just a logo or a tagline, it should tell a story, evoke emotion, and create memorable experiences.'
.
This ethos is definitely demonstarted by how easily and coherently this feature practically built itself. Such a sturdy cohesion between the design and the joyful charm in Emmas work.
Do check out Dainty Forest's website. It's an absolute beaut of a folio & so gorgeously designed. A true marker of the quality Emma delivers.

Naomi Wilkinson - Flat Lay Queen
Based in Bristol Naomi creates joyful, uplifting illustrations with an emphasis on sustainability.
Naomi has a wealth of clients across a breadth of practices. What really caught my spotted little eye - was her super engaging flat lays of knick-knacks. One, because, who doesn't love a knick-knack & two, because they are so eclectic & engaging with their detail, colour and texture!
Ri-so-good!
