Let’s build
something beautiful

Hello! Carrie Markland Studio builds brands that start with strategy, lead with personality and connect with humans.

Your brand has a story to tell

We’re here to help you tell it. Our holistic approach starts with strategy and ends with helping you roll out your new identity, working with web designers and copywriters to craft a consistent, bespoke identity that leads with personality and helps your business grow. We love adding illustration in the mix too!

Why invest in your brand identity?

Your brand identity runs through everything your customers come into contact with: it’s your storefront, your identifier - the fabric running through it that says ‘this is my business’. When done well, it can help:

  • Define a position in the market

  • Stand out from competitors

  • your brand be consistent, wherever it’s seen or heard

We work with growing businesses to craft beautiful visual identities that start from a place of strategy and lead with personality. We believe in getting to the heart of a business and creating something that truly represents the brand.

We believe that to build a successful brand, you need a holistic, strategic approach. These days people want human connection; they want to get to know your brand and its story. A brand identity has to be unique, memorable - human. That’s why every brand identity project with me begins with research and strategy - I get to understand your business and the competitor landscape so that we can build an identity that speaks to your audience and works with your long term vision.

Testimonials

  • Myself and my team at Word On The Street are extremely grateful to Carrie for creating our new business Icons. They represent exactly what we were looking for and will become a huge asset to our marketing strategy as the business grows.

    Michael Street, Word on the Street Group

  • Carrie created some illustrations for me to replace the stock images on my website, and I couldn't be happier with them! Carrie worked with me to come up with a style that suited my business, presenting various creative routes, and suggesting ideas of illustrations to demonstrate the concepts on my website pages. I'd highly recommend bespoke illustrations by Carrie as a replacement for stock images, and as an alternative to the generic, overused stock illustrations available on the internet. I now have bespoke brand imagery that is personal to me and my business, and perfectly represents my services and ethos. Thank you so much Carrie!

  • Working with Carrie has been a dream. From the start she totally got what we were about - our values, vision, and what we do. It has been great seeing the rebrand come together and represent where we are now.
