Brands that look established before you are, and websites that win the work.
I'm Celia, a Calgary brand identity and web designer. I help small businesses and founders replace a patchwork look with one clear, consistent brand, so the right clients say yes sooner.

Design informed by art direction and editorial craft
I'm Celia Brand, a Calgary-based brand, web and illustration designer with west coast roots. I hold a Bachelor of Design from Vancouver Island University, where I served as Art Director and Illustrator for The Navigator Student Press.
Today I work as a Creative Designer at Leap XD, and take on a limited number of independent brand and web projects. My approach is research-led and hands-on: I learn how your business actually works, then build a brand that is clear, consistent and made to grow.
