Kathaa

January 4, 2019

One of the most rewarding projects I’ve had the pleasure to work on has been a new social enterprise for the a global charity who are changing the lives of thousands of young girls in Nepal.

I worked closely with Hannah, NYFs CEO, on coming up with a name for the enterprise – ‘Kathaa’ which means ‘story’ in Nepalese.

The men’s and women’s Down Jackets have been made by Nepal’s freed Kamalari women (domestic child slaves). The Nepal Youth Foundation has trained these girls in commercial tailoring enabling them to take control of their lives and tell their own stories through the clothes they make. 100% of profits go back to NYF UK and into helping Nepal’s most vulnerable children.

Every girl at Kathaa has an empowering story to tell and everything they make is an expression of that story. This was the what led to the name Kathaa, which means story in Nepalese. This also informed the strapline – Every Stitch Tells a Story.

“I originally got in touch with Charlotte to help us turn an idea into something tangible and in doing so, create a brand identity.  She instinctively understood what was needed as her conceptualisation was spot on. She is creative, committed, affable and proved herself a real asset to the team.  I would go as far to say that she was invaluable to our work.

We have worked on other projects since and it is always effortless: Charlotte has enough business acumen to quickly grasp any concept, and then the skill to turn it into stunning visuals.

Her professionalism and abilities are of the highest standard. She is a real talent and we genuinely enjoy working with her – I couldn’t recommend her enough.”

Design of a logo, business cards, flyer and website for new Kent-based pet sitting service ‘The Cat’s Whiskers’.

“Charlotte designed the logo and leaflets for my business. She really listened to what I wanted and helped guide me to what would work best. She is extremely professional and I would highly recommend her.”

Sport Massage Therapy

January 1, 2018

Kate came to me with an idea for a logo for her business, sport and remedial massage therapy. I developed her initial idea into half a dozen concepts for her to choose her preferred style. This was then applied across business cards, flyers and embroidered onto t.shirts and towels.

Charlotte is a very experienced and an exceptionally creative designer with a professional attitude and takes real pride in her work.

I came to see Charlotte with a few ideas I had for my new business logo and branding. After going through my ideas and carefully listening to my requirements, Charlotte suggested a range of designs and ideas that were much more unique yet still within my budget and limited timeframe.

After the design was created, Charlotte was very helpful in giving me some advice on the printing of my business cards and website.

I would highly recommend Charlotte and would without hesitation ask her to do any further design work for me.

Brighton Yoga Festival

May 31, 2016

Since moving to Brighton in 2015 I have been working with local companies, one of which is the Brighton Yoga Festival. This year (2016) will see the one-day free festival, now in it’s third year, taking place at the iconic Brighton Dome venue in July.

I have been offering my design services pro bono, so far creating the new logo (in collaboration with festival organiser Stiliana Delcheva) as well as designing posters, adverts and flyers for the festival. It’s great to be involved in a local not-for-profit as well as being able to practice some yoga!
