Does your DIY design feel chaotic—and you know it just isn’t working anymore?

We build brands that connect & convert.

At a certain point, homemade design just won’t cut it. We can help you create purposeful connection so your customers feel confident and aligned with your business.

If you’re a self-made ecommerce shop or service provider with goals to grow, we’ll have lots in common.

  • "Partnering with Laura was the single best decision I’ve made to elevate our business — and she made the entire process an absolute pleasure.

    What first led me to Laura at Dotted Design was a clear realization: our brand wasn’t reflecting the true essence of our business. We were attracting clients who didn’t align with our vision. Through the rebrand process, Laura guided us in defining who we are at our core. The new branding and website perfectly capture the feeling of our estate — authentically us. Since launching it, we’ve attracted couples who truly appreciate the beautiful grounds and the backdrop of the old-world European farmhouse that sets our private estate apart. Our collaborations now feel aligned, our imagery tells our story effortlessly, and our marketing naturally draws in the right audience.”

    Leila Burrows, Cavaignac Estate

  • “I was scared to invest in a brand designer because I started my business from nothing and already knew the product would be expensive. I had a vision in my head but didn't know how to execute. Investing in my branding was something I will never regret. After my first meeting with Dotted Design I knew she was the perfect fit. From the beginning it's like she knew what my thoughts were and brought them to life. Laura is pure magic and is beyond great at what she does. She makes you feel like you are her only client and goes above and beyond to make your brand perfect for you and your customers. I am forever grateful for her and if you need any branding done I cannot recommend her enough!”

    Katherine, Cozy-hearted

  • “Working with Laura has truly been a dream come true!

    I have never worked with a graphic designer who so deeply gets what we want to express through our packaging, understands our brand style at its core and produces jaw-dropping designs!”

    Lisa Stoy, Green Girl Bakeshop

  • "I'm just so elated.

    I feel giddy just thinking about it and feel more pride about the brand which is what I was hoping for. I feel like just in the work you did, you increased the value of our company to a multi-millon dollar company! I’m so grateful for your design skills and great listening skills.”

Customers have higher expectations than ever.

They want a great product, of course, but they want to feel a connection as well. Whether that’s a sense of shared values, or feeling good about their purchase with your give-back program, they buy from you because of how they feel.

But we believe you don’t have to scream to stand out.

When time is of the essence

If you’re a brand new business owner, you may not have complex design needs just yet. Our Design Intensive options bring you a professional brand or website in days instead of months so you can hit the ground running.
