Testimonials

"Having seen Zoe's move from large organisation to setting up on her own I was thrilled to be able to work with her on the rebrand of Manchester Baroque. She led this work with professionalism, sensitivity, curiosity and tremendous creativity. I knew Zoe was a top notch designer and understood brand in her bones but what she's brought to the project is beyond anything I could have imagined! The whole team have loved working with her and the results are terrific."

“When we first approached Zoe, we thought we were looking for someone to help us to refine our brand and messaging, as well as to help us launch a new website. What we didn't anticipate was finding a creative consultant, who would bring a depth of understanding and commitment that goes far beyond the initial brief. Zoe has immersed herself into our business and become an instigator of innovation and improvement. Her workshops have not only helped us 'think outside of the box' but they've been fun, engaging and thought provoking. Zoe's involvement is pivotal to the evolution of AG, and she has embarked on the journey with a positive attitude and a smile that inspires confidence. We're grateful for Zoe's contributions so far and we're excited to continue our evolution with her invaluable support. Her support is more than just professional; it's transformative.”
