Simona Cellar – Brand Designer – About

About

Using brand design for business growth

Successful brand design helps you stand out from the competition and connect with your target audience. Brand design includes anything from an identity system, editorial design, marketing materials, packaging and more. Your visual assets should not only be up-to-date, consistent and functional to build trust and brand loyalty, they should also be unique.

Memorable and functional design solutions

I help companies improve through memorable and functional design solutions. Unique and appropriate solutions are achieved by applying strategic thinking and a systematic process. In my designs I strive for clarity by reducing complexity. Simplicity is often easier to understand and helps to instantly reveal what is most important.

«I can only recommend Simona. We received a professional Identity Design that we identify with very well. Simona went beyond only providing a service and additionally helped us understand the branding process. We are now more aware of what makes a good brand.»
