What people say about working with me
Amy Thom
Chief Marketing Officer
"LJ is an expert in her field, with a passion and knowledge for UX design, ensuring our website is customer-centric and beautifully designed. Her attention to detail, sharing of knowledge and strong collaboration are things her peers regularly praise her for. She's hard-working and adaptable to the ever-changing needs of our customers and digital. Unsurprisingly she won the Seasalt Chief Collaborator Award in 2022."
Benjamin Smith
Performance Marketing Director and Consultant
"LJ is quite simply the most talented and hard working designer I've ever worked with. She produces stunning designs and goes that bit further to always help me. I've worked with LJ for around 4 years now - without fail she always gets the brief and understands how to turn it into something that has user-experience and aesthetics at its core. She's also skilled at working with developers to turn the designs into the live product. I 100% recommend working with her, it'll be the best design decision you make."
Amanda DeZilva
Business Development Manager
"It has been such a pleasure working with LJ. She has responded to every brief with a host of options and creative ideas. And although my original branding was created by another designer, LJ was able to incorporate the essence of this to form two "sibling" identities which now sit very comfortably together. Her patience is incredible and her ability to "get it right" is testament to her professionalism, integrity and above all, her care. LJ is a truly generous designer who never dismisses an idea / request until she has created at least one set of designs. She is very easy to work with and a genuinely nice person with a brilliant attitude towards her work."
Pete Taylor
Director of Optimisation at The Student Room Group & Consultant in CRO and Web Usability
"I run a bi-annual CRO mini conference www.brightonCRO.com and I commissioned Laura-Jayne to create a logo that would work both on our website and in print. I didn't give Laura-Jayne much of a brief, just 'something cool' that 'says what it does on the tin' - nice and easy then!! Laura-Jayne developed an amazing set of options that really adhered the vision we had while giving some personal design touches. Laura-Jayne was incredibly patient, allowed us to think we knew what we were talking about design wise whilst leading us to make the 'right' choices. In the end we got an amazing logo that fits what we do and all delivered on a very tight budget. A joy to work with."
