elevate your work

courses for brand design professionals

As brand designers, we have the opportunity to create truly exquisite, spine-tinglingly gorgeous brand identities for our clients that both look gorgeous and work at a commercial level. The courses and seminars in The Brand Stylist Academy are designed to give you the tools to do both: to bring a true level of intention to your design work and allow you to build a portfolio and a process that sets you up for long term success.

'The Brand Stylist Academy has been my own personal Master's Degree in Branding and Design. I've been going through the classes and seminars for nearly a year now and find myself returning again and again to reference something or simply get inspired all over again. Absolutely brilliant! Thank you Fiona!'

Identifying your Creative Style

"I never imagined I’d have the confidence or ability to go in the direction I am headed - and that’s mostly down to you and your course. I’m so excited for where I’m planning to take my “new” business."

Gemma Andrews, Brand Designer

"...I've always felt confident in finding that clarity in words, but then it felt like a guessing game to try to bring those feelings and ideas across visually. This is the MOST helpful tool I've ever encountered that helps you translate strategy into compelling design that you can be confident is the right fit for the brand."

a highly specialist approach to colour psychology for branding

If you're interested in learning about colour psychology for branding, you're in the right place.

Incorporating colour psychology into my branding studio 15 years ago absolutely transformed my business. It shortcut our creative process, allowed us to communicate more effectively with our clients and, crucially, create work that instinctively connected visually.

My own approach is based on the wonderful Angela Wright's Colour Affects theory, but the unique spin is that I've combined that powerful framework with 25 years of specialist brand experience to create a robust, resilient and highly effective brand strategy and identity process that allows brands to connect at a deep and authentic level.

a pioneering approach built on decades of experience

Building on Angela's seminal foundation, I've harnessed the powerful seasonal personality principles and developed an approach that gives us a powerful way 'in' and 'through' creating a brand.

I've drawn on my experiences of working on thousands of branding projects and teaching this to tens of thousands more and have developed a powerful and sophisticated method that that pulls together brand strategy, brand identity and the principles of colour psychology into my transformative Resonant Brand Method.

The result? A game-changing method for brands (and brand designers) that want to enchant their clients and connect at a deep and resonant level.
