It’s pretty tough to show up in business when you feel like the image you’re putting out into the world isn’t you. That’s why I believe to achieve your business goals, your brand needs to be an alignment of you, your values and the impact that you want to make in the world - whether thats world domination or the perfect niche-centred creation.

How I create unstuffy branding

The fun way to create brands.

As a brand and website designer I thrive when creating brands for entrepreneurs who are determined to do big things. I love what I do and do it with a dash of quirk and humour because building your brand shouldn’t be boring, it should be a fun and engaging experience.

Duende Studio is a brand and web design studio that is definitively different. As a business owner, are you trying to do all the things but knowing that you simply can’t? That was me, I have a unique skillset that I love, have loads of experience and I know the areas that I love working in - and what I'd rather have someone else do. Thats why I decided to team up with others who feel - and work - the same way. We collaborate and together create brands and websites that deliver the best outcomes for clients.

We've packaged up the essentials of what a business needs to go from an idea to dazzling. Join us on an engaging, process-driven journey that delivers results and creates long term, ongoing, purpose-led (and creative bucket-filling) relationships.

Our Client Experiences

Clients agree, working with Duende Studio and our collaborative methodology achieves spectacular outcomes

I just wrapped up my rebrand and website redesign project with Duende Studio and I couldn't be happier with the final result! I recently changed my business name and got in touch with Karen about moving my website over to my new domain. I was initially going to create a logo in Canva and copy my existing website design over, but in the end I decided to invest in a complete rebrand and redesign and I'm so glad I did! My new branding is exactly what I envisioned and I'm convinced that Karen is secretly a mind reader!

From the minute we started chatting I knew I was in good hands! Karen took the time to understand my business, brand and goals and was able to translate this into a beautiful and functional web design that ticks all the boxes. I've worked with web designers in the past and Karen is a cut above the rest - professional, knowledgeable and collaborative. She made the whole process a breeze and I'm totally in love with everything - even her handover documents are stunning. I cannot recommend Karen and the team at Duende Studio enough.

Karen was very professional and easy to deal with. We are extremely happy with the work she did for our re-brand and website!

The first time I saw the website that Karen created for me, I burst into tears.
It was everything that I'd hoped for and so, so much more.
My impossible list included things like:
A design that was feminine but not girly.
A showcase of my work, my offerings AND my products in a way that felt cohesive.
I wanted to sound authoritative, but also approachable.
I wanted to be inspirational but not intimidating.
I wanted to tell my story, but not have it be all about me…
I thought that maybe I would get one or two of these things, but I got them all.
Scrolling through, I wanted to join my course and make my recipes!
Karen and her team walked me through every step of the process in a way that made me feel such a part of the process, even when they were doing their magical stuff.
I can't recommend Duende Studio any higher.
