About

I'm juls, the creator and namesake of branding by Juls

Alongside my beautiful children, my wonderful cheerleader and right hand man, Steve, and my incredible wee Scoobie, Branding by Juls is my baby.

It’s a space where I develop genuine relationships with wonderful business owners. An opportunity to combine my passion for design with my love of connecting. It’s safe to say a meeting with me will flit between creative maps and ideas, deep meaningful life chats and everything in between.

I’m a chronic over pleaser - nothing makes me prouder than knowing I’ve made someone happy. That’s why I adore helping my clients make that perfect first impression with a beautiful visual identity.

I’m a proud Glaswegian and have a tad “close to the bone” sense of humour; something I have my brilliant Dad to thank for. I’m also a creative down to the core, and regularly attempt new hobbies and skills - some more successful than others. I live by a “why wait?” mentality, and adore the challenge of trying something new.

When I'm not designing, you'll find me:

I’m a family girl through and through. My parents live just around the corner, so we’re always dropping by for a cup of tea and a good chat.

I’m a sucker for a classic movie or a romcom. Think Cary Grant, Audrey Hepburn and Lana Turner… I can’t get enough! I’m also a self-professed Netflix Binger while working as I find it impossible to concentrate in a silent room.

I’d choose a wee cup of tea over a glass of wine any day.

My Myers Briggs personality type is an INFJ, also known as the Counselor. This could explain why people open up to me so easily and comfortably.

I am absolutely obsessed with stationery (hence why I create my own notebooks!) and Paperchase is my drug of choice - let me near a store and my bank balance will start weeping.

I am a huge bookworm and always in the lookout for my next recommendation.

I used to be a dancer and was trained in ballet, tap, modern and disco. Although I think I’m now paying for those years of intense training through my arthritis, I will jump at any chance to go to a ballet or musical and am an avid watcher of Strictly Come Dancing.

I believe that everyone deserves a brand that feels like luxury

No matter who you are or what you do, every single one of us has a story.

It is that story that defines our brand. It is our story that enables us to stand out from a busy crowd.

My mission is to craft brand identities that reflect the power and exciting journey that led you to where you are today. I want people to feel proud when they hand over their business card. To truly believe in themselves and the message they are sending out to the rest of the world.

You are your best thing. It’s time to own a brand that puts you under a spotlight.

My design process

When you're making an investment in your business, you want to have all the facts in order before signing on the dotted line.

I get it. And that's why it's a big priority of mine to keep my design process as transparent as possible.

So, here's what to expect when you decide to work with me:

1. Come and say hello!

You can contact me via email, my contact form on this website or by phone. We will then find a time to discuss your needs and determine if Branding by Juls is a good fit for your project.

2. Get booked in

You can then secure your spot in my design diary by submitting a 40% non-refundable deposit and signing a contract.

3. Onboarding questionnaire

If you are a new client, I will share my brand questionnaire with you. This helps me learn more about your business, values, goals and ideal client; fundamental factors when designing a brand.

4. The creative part begins - aka, the fun bit!

I take all of your 'homework' and carry out some industry and client research. Then I'll work my magic and start laying the foundations for your unique, exceptional brand.

5. I share my vision through a bespoke moodboard and creative direction document

I will create a moodboard, colour palette and possible creative direction inspiration to ensure we are on the same page for your brand voice and aesthetic.

6. Time to design your brand

I design using the one logo concept, this allows me to really work on a full concept for your visual brand identity alongside sample mock ups of what your brand assets might look like in real life, on your social media, website and printed collateral (bringing the ideas to life). You have two rounds of feedback and revisions so we can tweak until perfect.

7. The full design process

Next I will finalise and finesse all vital elements that will provide a fully fledged identity for your brand including your typography, social media templates and any brand patterns you want to incorporate across your marketing channels.

8. Your bank of branding collateral

Once your branding is all finalised, I will create any branded materials you need. This could include business cards, stationery, brochures and banners. Again, you will receive up to two rounds of revisions to make sure we get it spot on

9. Social media collateral

Depending on which platform you use, I will also create customisable templates on illustrator or Canva. The templates are totally customised to your brand with your brand colours, fonts, patterns and logos.

10. And finally... the brand launch!

This is the biggie - once the final payment has been received, all final logo and brand collateral files will be delivered via google drive along with your brand guidelines to keep you on track. You’re ready to send your beautiful new brand out into the world!
