What pushed me to invest in working with a designer for my business was that I had my business setup, but you couldn't find me online I had a lot of comments from clients mentioning I needed more online presence to get my name out there.

I used to work with Lara and she was always a pleasure to deal with so it was a no-brainer to engage her services for my logo and website.

Feels complete now that you can finally look me up online but I also have a website to match me personally and professionally. Had great feedback initially regarding my branding and was able to get new clients on my first day of going live.

Before I invested in working with a designer for my business I was trying to struggle my way through using Canva and other tools by myself. No direction. I don't have the most creative brain so trying to think of logos and designs was hard for me and always felt frustrated with how things looked.

If you’re on the fence about investing in graphic design for your business it's worth taking the first steps AT LEAST, to see what they can offer you and your business. It's too hard trying to do it all by yourself. If you want to look professional and set yourself apart, you need to invest in making your business look the part. It's eye-catching and professional.

Before working with a designer, we had a vision for our wedding but no way to bring that vision to life! We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend investing in a graphic designer. There are so many elements for a wedding beyond invitations and working with one designer will guarantee consistency. 

The completed designs helped everything else fall into place! We used the designs in every single vendor meeting to give them an idea of our style and overall feel we were hoping to achieve on the day.  The florist, hair and makeup, the venue manager, the baker, even the band - they all used our designs as reference points for their service. You can even see how they were translated - Our florist recommended long-stemmed white roses to maintain the sleek, crisp, and classic look created in our designs and our wedding cake designer was so inspired by our stationery that the same black lines are on our cake - talk about consistency! 

We ended up creating more elements than we thought we could! You don’t realise how much stationery and signage are actually needed on the day. In addition to our save the dates and invitations, Lara designed our ceremony programs, welcome signs, directional signage, and mini reception programs. She was also very helpful in recommending printers for great quality and great price. 

Lara’s kind, can-do attitude coupled with a speedy turnaround time meant this collaboration was the least stressful part of our planning! 

Having bespoke wedding stationery to always remember our day by. We feel so special that our designs are totally unique and not just off the production line used by hundreds of other brides and grooms. 

Thank you, Lara and Shiplee Studio, your expertise, creativity, and attention to detail made our wedding so special!

“I have been working with Lara to develop my branding for my business over the past few weeks and to say it has been a pleasure is an understatement!

Lara really took the time to get to know me, my brand and the service my business offers and then she digitised the vision I didn’t even know I had! I felt she really understood me! (Finally! After previously working with a designer who didn’t quite get me this was such a breath of fresh air!)

Lara made an effort to always get back to me in a timely manner, always responded to my questions no matter how silly or irrelevant, she took phone calls from me when phone calls probably weren’t even needed and she took the time to really listen and understand! Her process was seamless, smooth and very easy to understand.

I would recommend her to anyone looking to design a brand guide/strategy that really sets your business apart from the rest!

She’s nothing short of incredible and has really gone above and beyond for me.

So far it’s safe to say she has been the best asset to my brand that I have invested in.

I can’t wait to work with you again in the years ahead Lara!”

As a new start-up, the input and contribution from Lara of Shiplee Studio were critical to the development of our brand. Lara’s creativity, passion, and generosity helped bring our vision for The Bikesmith to life.

Since then, Lara has supported our brand as we have grown and evolved, creating graphics to represent our brand across digital and hard copy media, including shop signage, t-shirts, and bike jerseys as well as designing and painting a mural on our shop wall.

“After working with Shiplee Studio over the past few months we have been blown away with the level of work being produced and high level of support.

No request is too hard and everything we are getting back is of great quality and right on time. They are great to work with, and we couldn’t recommend them highly enough. 

We are very happy to support local business and it is an absolute bonus when they are able to produce such great work.”

I touched base with Shiplee Studio when I was starting up my fitness business and as it was a new business, I had some ideas but needed that guidance and help.

Lara was amazing with the design content she developed, especially how she designed our business logo and website with the ideas we provided her. She created multiple logos and I selected the one that best suited the business. The designs especially for our website were authentic and personalised to my business.

My experience working with Lara was amazing and instrumental in helping me get a new business up and running.

My experience with Shiplee Studio was very professional! From day one I contacted Lara she was quick to respond, easy to communicate and talk to, helpful with suggestions and ideas, understanding what I required and delivered an impressive logo design for my business.

Awesome service and will definitely recommend to anyone seeking graphic designing and illustrating!! Very talented.

— Alex Merkel, APEX Excavations & Landscaping

Lara is the best!! She designed my logo, brochures, business card, gift vouchers, etc. She also did an amazing job on my website; she went above and beyond to help me with the complete setup.

I loved working with Lara, it was so much fun, I was always super excited to receive her emails with the work she had created.

All the work was done easily through email and the turnaround time was impressive. 

I highly recommend Shiplee Studio and I will definitely be using Lara again for my next business venture.

— Katie Thomas, Skin & Salt Therapy

Lara was fantastic in her creation and design of the entire suite of graphics including logos and the website. Lara's communication was very clear, and her process was so easy to use. I loved the outcome; the colours were perfect and her translation from business plan to logo was very clear. I would and do highly recommend Lara and Shiplee Studio to everyone I can.
