Celebrated violinist Yehudi Menuhin founded his school in 1963 to provide musically gifted children from around the world, to develop their talents to the highest levels within an academic environment.
Brief
Existing brand guideline restrictions dictated limited creative visual possibilities. I was approached by the school’s marketing and development team to suggest and develop energetic, vibrant visual solutions to develop the brand appropriately.
Solution
A versatile visual branding system using strong blocks of colour and layered imagery was developed to echo multiple musical developments and achievements.
I introduced a relaxed style of student photography that better represented the the school’s philosophy and student engagement.
This initial project developed into a working relationship for over 4 years and included many other projects: annual reports, branding for the Yehudi Menuhin Centenary, advertising, concert programmes and newsletters.
Working with Georgina is always a breath of fresh air. As a designer she has a wonderful sense of empathy with the subject that she is embracing, which in our case is The Menuhin Hall and the pupils of The Yehudi Menuhin School. She has great attention to detail and is communicative, gentle and responsive to alterations, however tiny! She is also reliable and meets deadlines.

Brief
To progress and develop the current brand to reflect the its unique offering and training programmes.
Solution
A new bespoke 1960’s style logo and colour palette was developed. It was important for Cathy Hoy (MD), that her company should stand out from other L&D consultancies and dare to be different. The roll-out included marketing materials, resource documents and white papers. Other projects included creating interactive learning materials for workshops, one of which involved designing a giant board game for Morrisons complete with shopping trolleys as counters.
I've been working with Georgina for over 3 years now, and I'm always really impressed with everything she creates. She has helped brand my training consultancy perfectly in the last year as well as helping us create amazing pieces of work for our own clients.

Established in 1930, Lanesborough Preparatory School is well known for its excellent academic, music, sport and pastoral care for boys
Brief
Evolve and modernise the visual identity for Lanesborough to communicate the school’s heritage and academic tradition, while also conveying its progressive philosophy.
Solution
Retaining the school’s corporate colour (navy) provided consistency and maintained the necessary sense of prestige and history. Introducing inspirational quotes, testimonials and commissioning a series of aspirational images, I was able to create a ‘contemporary conservatism’ result.
Brief
I work with the Borough on a regular basis to deliver centrally commissioned literature from their many internal clients. As a result, the briefs are incredibly diverse and range from communicating sensitive adult issues to promoting workshops and activities for children.
Solution
Given the social and financial responsibility inherent in working with a local authority, I tackle every brief with great diligence. So each project begins with careful researchto ensure that the creative concept, and look and feel, is appropriate to the audience: a point that’s key to the success of each different campaign.
Georgina has been and continues to be a pleasure to work with. Her designs are modern, fresh and always perfectly targeted.

The Network is a gateway to news and information that enables ‘LEPs’ to draw together on areas of shared importance, engage with Government and stakeholders, and promote best practice across the Network.
Brief
Initially, the LEP Network’s brief was to create branding for their annual conference programme. They required a communication piece that would fully engage with their attendees (typically captains of industry, MPs and other influencers).
Solution
I drew on existing brand elements and delivered a visually engaging solution within tight cost constraints. Effectiveness was measured on people’s positive reactions, and due to its success, I continually work on other projects including white papers, government reports and conference marketing materials.

The logo has 3 colour options for visual flexibility to work perfectly with the montage style ephemera graphics.

The duo has performed at venues around the country including shows at the Cheltenham Literature Festival, Buxton Fringe and Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
Brief
Even some of the most ‘fringe’ of fringe acts employ increasingly sophisticated marketing to get bums on seats. Project Adorno needed to promote their appearances with a visual identity that offered standout. A level of reassuring professionalism was also required to give bookers (and ticket buyers) peace of mind.
Solution
English eccentricity through original photographic imagery, which showed some of the props used in the show. This was contrasted with ultra-modern typography and colourways, creating an unmistakable look and feel that clearly set Project Adorno apart.
Georgina’s work is sleek, slick and original. She has really helped us to develop a strong brand for our work and has come up with some striking publicity campaigns which have played a significant role in promoting our shows and recordings.
