From big-brand agency designer to sustainable business champion
Hello, I’m Charlotte!
The Founder of Creative Wilderness.
I learnt my design and branding craft at big design and advertising agencies. I’ve created packaging designs for Wilkinson Sword, pitched campaign concepts to Vanish and KP nuts, and created branded materials for Peroni.
Now I use that knowledge to make independent brands like yours have a powerful (and ethical) impact.
I’ve worked with some of the leading ethical and sustainable brands, creating brand experiences that have helped them grow into the impactful businesses they dreamed of.
My clients have gone on to have their products stocked with major wholesalers, be featured in national publications and grow their audiences into purposeful communities.
When I’m not designing sustainable brands, you’ll find me in nature – hiking, wild swimming, and exploring in my new VW T4 campervan ‘Autumn’. It’s here that some of my best ideas come to find me, out exploring the wilderness.

Got a question about the branding services? These FAQs might help...
Why does a branding package cost more than logo design?
If your business is the seed of an idea, your brand is what gives it the roots to stay around for the long haul.
Good branding goes beyond a simple logo design to connect with the deeper purpose of your business. It communicates that in a way that your customers can’t help but sit up and pay attention to your work. Branding weaves strategy and creativity together to uncover your brand “WOW” and make your business memorable. You can read more about that in this blog post.
Do I need to pay a deposit?
Yes, I require a deposit before starting any design job. I then let you know when the final payment will be due. For bigger projects, I normally split this out so you can plan your finances.
What happens after a branding package? How do I implement my new brand?
Every branding package comes with a free guide to launching your new brand, as well as access to 30 days of one-to-one support with me.
Along with branding I also create websites and offer a range of packages to suit different budgets and needs (such as shopping functionality). I can also guide you on how to update the text and add blog posts to your site once we have built your site.
Do we need to meet up to start a project?
I work with people around the world and find that Zoom is a great way to connect if you don't like nearby.
If you are around the Manchester, Cheshire and Stockport area then we can meet up at the start of the project. I'm also happy to chat over email too.
What if I don’t know what my brand ‘WOW’ is?
If you book a branding package, we’ll dig deep to discover your brand roots and identify your brand ‘WOW’ together. You can read more about I uncovered my own brand ‘WOW’ here
This is an important part of the sustainable branding process and is what’ll help your business grow more authentically, whilst reaching the right people who truly resonate with your message.
Will it just be you working on my project?
I'll be your only contact and I generally have a very big part in all projects. Sometimes, I bring in a collaborator such as an illustrator or web developer if I think your project needs it. If you are looking for a team to help then take a look at my Ethical Collective
I don't need branding can you still help?
I mostly focus on branding but I can help with most design projects from packaging design, illustrations and anything else design related. Simply get in touch on my contact pageand I'll let you know how I can help your business
I don't have the budget yet to invest can you still help?
Yes there are a few ways I can still help! You can explore business grants/funding as often these cover branding and website design. I also have self-led 'Brand Builder' course that can help you form your brand. And finally check out my design shop for pre-made brand kits and design resources.
I’m worried about taking the leap and booking you!
Take a good look through my projects and testimonials so you can get a feel for my work. I always have a video/voice chat before we confirm your branding package, as it's so important we connect and are the right fit! (You might find this blog post on choosing a designer helpful)
We do a very in-depth brand exploration at the start and visual reference activity so that I can truly understand your brand and where to take it. I'll then show you a moodboard to give you an idea of the style before I start designing. So there are plenty of checks in place to make sure you are happy with everything.
Your quote also includes one revision at each stage and 30-day post-project support just in case anything pops up as you apply your branding!
