KIND WORDS
'Working with Sophie has been an absolute pleasure. We initially brought her on to develop a new social media strategy, and soon after, we enlisted her help with our Scout rebrand. Sophie's strategic approach was thorough, showcasing her deep expertise in leveraging social media to enhance brand presence and engage with clients effectively. Professionally, she’s a creative force, and on a personal level, she's a joy to collaborate with. After having an in-depth discussion about my vision for the rebrand, Sophie delivered a spot-on branding portfolio that I loved. She truly understands the essence of a brand, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the outcome. I’m excited to continue working with her in the future!'

From the moment we started, it felt like she just got us—our mission, our values, and the heart of what we are trying to achieve. The brand strategy and design concepts Sophie created are not just creative and sublime; they authentically reflect the soul of our organisation entirely. The creative process of refining our brand was both thoughtful and inspiring, with Sophie guiding us every step of the way to ensure every detail aligned with our vision. What made this journey even more special was the beauty of our collaboration. Sophie listened, understood, embraced our feedback, and brought her unique expertise to the table. It was a partnership that was both exciting and invigorating. We could not be more joyous with the results and are so grateful for her guidance and dedication.”
