Hey folks, i’m Charlie Crowley

I'm a brand designer and photographer based in the ever-dramatic and always-evolving rolling Yorkshire hills. Creativity is my lifeline; it is ingrained into everything I do; in every action I take, there is a smidge of creativity embedded. I have always been creative, and my creativity needed an application. I moved from fine art in to design and photography and here I am today. Working alongside some incredible, wonderful brands who appreciate the value in considered brand imagery, graphical elements that just work and an approach to business that is slow, and sustainably joyful.

My mission is to help you tell the story of your brand in a way that emotionally connects with your audience and gives you a deep sense of creative pride. I believe in working together, creating branding, a website or brand images that truly represent your brand and will connect with your clients— telling authentic visual stories and weaving together a tapestry of emotions, resulting in an aesthetic that feels like you.

Years of fine art experience, styling and art direction combine to produce elevated and curated branding & photography that purveys deep-rooted emotion and personal representation—an aesthetic that will set you apart from the rest.

“Emotion is the most powerful tool for connecting people to brands.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Welcome to my general FAQ section, where I will talk about what I do, how I got where I am today, and why it's important to me that you know what "curate" means (hint: it's not just a Pinterest thing). If you have any questions at all while reading this page—don't hesitate to reach out

  • I'm a brand designer & brand photographer. I help brands tell their story through the images they use across their platforms, custom website design and logo/brand design. My unique approach to design is all about creating a one-of-a-kind story for your brand. I believe in the power of storytelling to connect people to brands, products and ideas.

  • I work with my clients one-on-one to build brand identities that speak directly to their audiences through both design & photography. My process starts with getting to know you and your brand—what you're trying to achieve, what your goals are, and what your values are—so we can make sure we're building a brand that's authentic and compelling.

  • My availability varies depending on the project and what I am currently working on, but in general, I can work within your schedule so don't hesitate to reach out for more information about how and when we can work together!

  • I've been working as a designer in different capacities for 10 years, and I've worked with clients globally on many different projects. My background includes fine art and visual communication--which gives me the ability to create strong visual identities that are both functional and beautiful. As a designer, I've worked with many different mediums and techniques: digital illustration, traditional painting... the list goes on!

    As a photographer, I have worked with brands big, and dainty including photographers, artists, makers and creators. Print publications such as Green Parent Magazine and larger brands such as Almond Breeze.

    Now working with primarily small businesses, I have formulated a way of working that allows all the brands I work with to feel valued--and instils confidence in the core of your branding and imagery.

    I have extensive experience in a wide range of design principles: typography, composition and layout... but my eye for detail, role as an art director (and ability to transform ideas into reality) sets me apart from other designers and brand photographers.

  • I offer brand design services including logo design and branding guidelines development, as well as print collateral such as business cards, flyers and postcards, and other promotional materials made from scratch (including price guides, session guides & social media templates.)

  • I am a photographer who specializes in creating visually compelling, emotive brand imagery. I believe that every company has a story to tell and that the best way to tell it is through visual storytelling.

    I work with brands to produce their own unique brand images, whether it be for social media, website use or print.

    I offer mini-branding shoots for clients who need something quick and easy or full-day shoots for those who want more control over the process and have a bigger brand story to tell, then my half-day shoots for everything in-between.

  • I offer Squarespace Website Design packages and joint web design and brand design packages, at a discounted price. My websites are visually stunning and are experience focused.

    I use Squarespace because it's easy to use, affordable, and has a great platform for creating a beautiful website. Squarespace also makes it easy for me to work with clients on the design process, which is important for me as an independent designer and gives me confidence that my clients will be able to manage their websites in the future thanks to the intuitive user interface.

I Love

“If there is one thing that makes me tick it is giving you the creative freedom to unleash your wildest inner thoughts.”

Curating and capturing emotive and differentiated brand stories through brand design, and photography. Helping small brands on their creative journey to blissful branding clarity. I can’t lie I am also partial to an iced tea and sitting on my back steps in the sunshine with a good book and time on my side; but that isn’t quite as cool as telling you I will help you build the brand of your dreams, aye.

Creative Magic

With an extensive background in Fine Art, Photography, Graphic Design, and Product Design, A Degree in Interior Architecture and years of creative work under my belt, I find joy in passing on some creative wonderment to all the brands and individuals I work with. 

Working with people who feel the urge to live life slower, who appreciate their brand for the raw and untamed moments of pure chaos - who want to capture the brand's story in all its unapologetic glory and create branding and websites that ooze personality and connection.
