I am Laura Darling.
I’ve been helping clients create exciting, positive brands since 2013. Before that I worked as a graphic designer in Bristol.
This extensive industry experience has taught me one thing: it’s all about the process. The more I understand you, your ideas and ambitions, the better the design.
When you choose Mixed Pixel, there’s no pretence. I’m down to earth and I’ll chat to you like a human being. No jargon, no hidden charges.
You’ll often find me on my narrowboat, which I take up and down the Kennet & Avon and sometimes run a vegan café from on a weekend.
When I’m not working, I love exploring the outdoors with my son, my partner and my dog.
“I love nothing more than creating the final piece of the puzzle to make your goals suddenly become reality.”
How we’ll start your brand building.
The first and most important thing is for me to understand your design needs. My proven process helps get to the nitty gritty of why your business is special and what your vision is for its identity. I’m happy to meet you for a coffee, set up a phone/video call or simply email if you prefer.
Next we’ll talk pricing packages and what your options are. I understand that budgets can sometimes be tight, which is why I offer different price packages to suit your needs.
Once we know what’s needed, I’ll create a bespoke moodboard for you to look over. This allows you to choose what you like and dislike and ensures we’re both on the same page.
Next, I’ll ask for 50% of the total payment up-front to secure the booking and get straight to work on your project, with a clear deadline of when you can expect your final concepts or wireframes.
Your designs will arrive by email and if you’re happy, I’ll ask for the final payment before sending you the final artwork files.
The package we agree at the start will include how many rounds of amendments you’re entitled to but, if you need more, I do offer additional amendments, charged at an pre-stipulated hourly rate.
