Plot twist: I actually slowed down for a few weeks.

If you’ve followed me for a while, you’ll know that’s not something I do very often.

Since being out of office on 8th May 2026, life has looked a little different. There was gallbladder surgery, recovery, less coffee than usual (still not over that one), plenty of family time, a low-key 37th birthday and making the most of half term sunshine with my boys.

As much as I’d love to say I’ve mastered the art of resting, the truth is these last few weeks reminded me that sometimes slowing down is exactly what we need.

The photos in this carousel are a little snapshot of what life has looked like recently. Not perfectly planned. Not particularly productive. Just real life.

But now? I’m back. Back creating. Back designing. Back helping businesses and individuals make their mark.

Thank you for all the messages, support and patience while I took the time to recover properly. It really has meant the world. And if you’ve got an idea you’ve been waiting to bring to life, my inbox is officially open again.

This one feels pretty special.

Not because of the certificate itself, but because of everything it represents.

The school runs. The coffee-fuelled design sessions. The late nights. The self-doubt. The risks. The incredible clients who trusted me. The family who supported me. And somehow, all of that has led to this… Branding Agency of the Year 2026 at The My Local Awards.

As someone who built a business around family life and a love for helping people show up confidently through great design, I’m incredibly proud of this moment.

Thank you to everyone who has been part of the journey so far. Whether you’ve worked with me, recommended me, followed along or cheered me on from the sidelines, I appreciate every single one of you.

Now then… who’s ready to create an award-winning brand of their own? Let’s chat.

A little out of office update from me

I’m currently taking some time away until 1st June to properly rest and recover after gallbladder surgery.

As someone who’s usually juggling design work, coffee refills, school runs and a million tabs open at once… sitting still definitely isn’t my strongest skill but family, health and doing things properly will always come first.

Messages, emails and enquiries will be replied to once I’m back but if you’re already thinking about branding, rebranding or design support for June onwards, my Discovery Call booking page is still open and available to book while I’m away.

Thank you for all the lovely messages, patience and support already. It genuinely means a lot.

With Marsden Makes a Statement, you get a complete, premium brand identity that covers every touchpoint. From a versatile logo suite and bespoke colour palette to social media graphics and print-ready assets, your business will be equipped to show up everywhere with confidence and clarity.

It’s the package for established businesses who want to step into the spotlight, stand taller and be remembered for all the right reasons.

Sometimes life makes you slow down whether you want to or not!

This Friday I’m having surgery to have my gallbladder removed. which means Marsden Makes Co. will be a little quieter for a few weeks whilst I recover properly.

I won’t be taking any Discovery Calls until June and replies may be a little slower than usual whilst I give myself time to rest and heal.

As someone who’s terrible at sitting still, this is definitely going to test me but family, health and doing things properly have always been important to me, so for now the focus is rest, recovery and listening to my body.

Thank you for all the support and patience always. I’ll be back soon, coffee in hand and ready to make a mark again.

Marsden Makes Co Brand Packages
Branding shouldn’t feel overwhelming - here’s exactly what each package actually gives you:

Marsden Makes a Mark - Your simple, strong starter brand.
This is for you if you’re just getting going and want a clean, professional look that feels like you without diving into anything too deep. It’s the perfect “I’m ready to show up properly” package.

Marsden Makes an Impression - A fuller, more thought-out brand identity. Think of this as levelling up - more design elements, more clarity, more consistency. If you want your visuals to finally match the quality of what you do, this one’s your best friend.

Marsden Makes a Statement - The big one which is the full, polished brand experience. You get a detailed, strategic, stand-out identity that carries across everything you put out. Ideal if you’re established, growing, and ready to look like the business you truly are.

Whichever you choose, the goal is the same: a brand that feels genuine, looks gorgeous, and makes showing up online a whole lot easier.

Not sure which one fits you best? Send me a DM/ Email, visit the website and let's chat it through - I’ll help you pick the perfect match.

Logo vs Branding… let’s clear this up.

I’ll say it straight: a logo on its own won’t carry your business.
It might look nice, but if that’s all you’ve got… it’s doing a lot of heavy lifting.

A logo is just one piece of the puzzle.
Your branding is the bigger picture - colours, fonts, visuals and how it all shows up everywhere people see you. That’s the bit that builds trust and makes your business feel considered, confident and professional.

A logo introduces you. Whilst branding is what makes people remember you and recognise you without even seeing your name.

This is why I don’t do “just a logo” and call it done. I design branding that actually works in real life - on socials, print, signage, packaging and all the little places that matter when you’re running a small business.

If your business has grown but your branding hasn’t caught up yet, that’s usually the moment things start to feel a bit off.

I’m now booking branding projects and I’d love to help you show up properly with a brand that feels like you and supports where you’re heading next.

DM me or head to the website to book your branding project - let’s make your mark.
