Hi, I’m Sarah Burgess.
I’m a Graphic Designer and Illustrator with a genuine passion and belief in the power of design, creativity and play.
Design is an opportunity to not only catch your 👀 — but to form meaningful connection, beyond the aesthetic, to move people.
With 9+ years experience in the industry, I work in branding agencies to unravel and expand businesses. My work has taken me to HK, LDN, NZ, AUS and Canada, and has led me to working with incredibly talented designers, and studios across the globe such as Moving Brands, AllofUS and Salesforce, and honourable people, like Andy Harvey (COMMUNION), Arthur Foliard (Koto), Stuart Watson and Terry Stephens (Nomad studio) and Eric Ng (DesignStudio).
1.0 HOW?
In co-creation.
Over the past decade I’ve curated a design process that is bullet-proof for igniting soul-driven design tools to clients. This holds flexibility in the framework to remain adaptive.
Brand Assessment
We thoroughly analyse your brand from all angles - how it appears, communicates, behaves, and is perceived in the physical and digital world. Our observations uncover opportunity.
Defining Strategy
We co-create your brand strategy through close collaboration. This involves question-driven workshops and creative play — and sets the foundation for a distinct visual identity.
Create
A strong brand identity stems directly from the foundational strategy underpinning it. When we discover the soul of the brand, we unearth its uniqueness, it’s ikigai — it is here where we create from. Crafting from the intersection of passion and purpose, nurturing creativity, and allowing the brand to radiate its true brilliance.
Thrive in the world
We show the world who you truly are.
