About

One designer, no account managers.

For twelve years I’ve worked directly with founders and creative directors — no layers, no hand-offs. You talk to the person doing the work, from first sketch to final files.

Amara distilled six months of muddled ideas into one clear identity in three weeks. Everyone who sees it says the same thing: it just looks right.

Working together

How much does a project cost?

Most identity projects start at a fixed fee agreed after a thirty-minute call. I’ll send a written scope and price the same week.

How long does a project take?

A typical brand identity takes four to six weeks; a website takes six to ten.

Do you work with clients overseas?

Yes — about half my clients are in other time zones, and we work over video calls and shared documents.

Let’s make something quiet and good.

Tell me about your project — I reply within two working days.
