Yes - you read that right. Of course I had to brand myself too.

After years of (sometimes accidentally) honing my craft alongside fledgling founders, I knew exactly who The Groundwork Studio needed to speak to. The dreamers in the early days. The ones with big ideas, boundless passion, and not always the deepest pockets. A studio built to meet people where they’re at - sleeves rolled up, hands in the soil, unafraid to get a little messy.

From there, the brand universe unfolded naturally. Gardening metaphors are gently woven through the foundations, with service packages named after essential stages of growth: Breaking Ground, The Prune, and Tending. The colour palette leans less “earthy brown” and more “vibrant local greengrocer” - fresh, alive, and full of possibility.

  • "Jazz absolutely blew us away with our branding.

    She spent time understanding what The Fix-It Folks is all about, the messages and vibe we wanted to get across and managed to take all of that and turn it into something amazing. We’ve already had a really positive response from customers saying how much we stand out from the crowd on the local community business boards!"

    I had no idea how to express myself in my brochures. Jazz made it effortless, capturing the essence of both me and my business better than I ever could. Truly over the moon with her work!

  • "Jazz is an actual miracle worker, book her now!"

    I couldn’t imagine what my brand was and didn’t even have a clear idea of what I was asking Jazz to do when we started working together, but she worked her magic and created the most incredible stunning perfect gorgeous exciting magical brand design for me. She is such a lovely person and so great to work with. I cannot recommend her enough!”
