About

I'm Monique, London-based designer with a love for editorial design, brand communications, print design and brand identity.

For more than 15 years, I've helped businesses of all shapes and sizes communicate their ideas more clearly through thoughtful, engaging design. From global brands and household names to ambitious start-ups and independent businesses, I enjoy turning complex information into visuals that people can easily understand, connect with and remember.

What I love most about design is its ability to solve problems. Whether I'm creating a brand identity, structuring a sustainability report, or developing a campaign, I'm always thinking about the people on the receiving end. How can we make this clearer? More engaging? Easier to navigate? Better looking doesn't hurt either.

I'm known for being approachable, organised and easy to work with. I love collaborating with clients and teams, bringing structure to projects and helping ideas evolve into something meaningful and effective.

Outside of design, you'll usually find me exploring London's food scene, hunting down the perfect brooch, or experimenting with ways to recreate restaurant dishes at home. I'm also slightly obsessed with fashion and finding creative inspiration in everyday places.

My biggest passion project is Be The Other, my accessories brand built around individuality, creativity and getting more from the things we already own. Through handmade brooches and silk scarves, I encourage people to style, re-style and express themselves in their own unique way.
