Bold branding for small businesses that refuse to blend in

I’m Chelsea, a Northern Beaches designer building bold, strategic brands for small businesses. I take one client at a time, so yours gets my full focus. From fresh starts to full rebrands: brands that look the part and actually work in the real world.

Slow-cooked branding, in a world of instant everything

Good brands aren't generated. They're made.

Base & Build

Your foundation for the perfect brand

A complete brand foundation, plus the add-ons that suit you. Start with the base every brand needs, then build it out as you grow. No confusing tiers.

Every project starts here: a solid base, with plenty of room to build on and make it truly yours.

About me

Hi, I’m Chelsea! 👋🏻

Graphic designer, font hoarder and the face behind Else Studio

I’ve been a full-time graphic designer for over six years, with freelancing always part of the mix. From packaging for household fragrance brands to branding, signage, socials and everything in between, I help small businesses turn ideas into brands that actually feel like them.

I believe good branding should feel considered, bold and a little playful. Else Studio is where strategy meets creativity and where your brand gets to show up with confidence.
