Studio Barnes
Your Move

Win the customers you actually want to work with.

You've built something real.
I build the brand identity and website that help the right customers see it.

Customers can't choose what they don't understand.

  1. 01

    Your logo, website and pitch all say something different.

  2. 02

    So you explain yourself in every meeting, and still can't tell why good leads go quiet.

  3. 03

    A good business shouldn't lose work to a competitor that's just easier to understand.

Big-brand thinking without the agency theatre

You know your business better than anyone. Explaining it clearly from the inside is a different job. I help founder-led and growing businesses get clear on what they stand for, then build the identity and website to show it.

Selected work.

Calculo website design

Calculo

Brand identity and website

A cloud accounting firm that looked like every other one. Now it's the one clients remember.

McKechnie Dental reception signage

McKechnie Dental

Branding and signage

Nobody looks forward to the dentist. A warm, playful identity takes the fear out of the visit.

Lead Projects building signage

Lead Projects

Brand identity

A firm running major projects needed a brand to match. Now it carries that authority from the boardroom to the building site.

Transnational Logistics brand cover

Transnational Logistics

Rebrand and website

Lockdown stalled the business. A sharper position and a new website got it moving again.

Don't take my word for it.

We have worked with Nic for some time now and on many different projects relating to our various business interests. Trusting a designer to create an identity for you is not an easy task and trust is of utmost importance. Studio Barnes checks all those boxes and remains our first choice.

I've worked with brands like Coca-Cola, Toyota, Lexus, BYD and Ford on various design projects. Now I bring that same thinking to founder-led businesses.

If nothing changes with your brand.

The business keeps growing and the brand stays behind. You keep discounting to win work, and explaining yourself to people who should already get it.

Three steps to a brand people choose.

  1. 1

    Book a call

    Tell me where the business is going and what's holding it back.

  2. 2

    Agree your position

    We decide what you stand for and who it's for, before anything is designed.

  3. 3

    Launch a brand that works

    A strategic identity and website built to attract the right customers.

What changes when your brand is clear.

Book a call and tell me where the business is going. I'll show you the clearest way to get there.
