CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

Testimonial Blog

After a recommendation from a close friend I approached LJB Studio about a brand identity package. With a curious approach, Laura used a range of modalities to delve deeper into the story of the brand. The whole process was delivered thoughtfully and with great clarity – which has been so helpful to me as a complete beginner to this field. Starting with the colour palette, was extremely impactful, and Laura thoughtfully chose each colour with an intention and offered suggestions on how to weave this into my work. Her deep understanding of Charlotte Swire Wellness translated so beautifully into the logo, and I am so happy with the additional monograms that she created. Laura is an absolute dream to work with, and I am excited to collaborate on future projects with LJB studio.

– Charlotte Swire, Movement and Yoga Teacher, Founder of Charlotte Swire Wellness

Such a talent and pleasure to work with you, Laura. I’m very excited to be rolling out my new branding – it’s so creative, I absolutely love it!!! You really worked hard, and I’ll recommend you to anyone.

– Dr Liv Schorah, Cosmetic Dentist

It was a delight to work with Laura. She quickly grasped the brief and produced a range of design options, bang on time. I particularly appreciated the way she showed us her development process. The final image she produced was beautiful and elicited many compliments. She had made local climate change policy look attractive - no mean feat. Most importantly, it was very satisfying to know that we were working with someone who shared our social and environment values’.

– Chloe Jeffries, Climate Emergency Manchester

I wanted to say a BIG THANK YOU!! It has been an absolute pleasure working with Laura and seeing all her expertise, effort and hard work bringing the concept to a more solid platform, through my new branding and packaging.

– Ranveer Kaur, Founder of Token of Wonder

I can’t say enough about Laura’s excellent work, her efficiency and professionalism in all her design work. Her attention to detail and design initiatives is what sets Laura apart from others. Laura has helped me not only grow my brand but has played a lead role in the expansion of the Tim Hall School of Golf. I would strongly recommend Laura and her work.


– Tim Hall, Founder and Head PGA Golf Professional of Tim Hall School of Golf

Heritage Open Days has been working with Laura Boast for several years. Working with Laura has always been a pleasure as she is quick to grasp a brief and translate them into attractive visuals, often delivering ahead of deadlines. The pop-up banners and accompanying leaflet she created for our launch night proved engaging tools to tell some poignant Heritage Open Days stories and convey the spirit of Heritage Open Days aesthetically. Thank you, Laura!


– Katja Condy, Manager of Heritage Open Days

I have known Laura for a number of years. She is creative and insightful as well as being very efficient. High quality design work is produced quickly and thoughtfully with excellent attention to detail. I would not hesitate in recommending her for any branding, print or illustration commission.

Our gift vouchers have arrived in-store and we couldn’t be happier with how beautiful the finished design is. Printed on the finest papers, and designed locally by the talented Laura of LJB Studio, our aim was to create a personalised premium voucher that made gift-giving a stress-free affair. Laura really captured the essence of Nordic Muse, and our branding, through colour and texture.

– Jenny Maxwell, Director and Founder of Nordic Muse

Laura designed my branding. She was wonderful to work with. She really understood the brief and my business. She articulated and shared the design process so well. The finished design work is beautiful, exactly what I was looking for. I have recommended her to everyone I know that is thinking about commissioning design work and hope to work with Laura again in the future. Thank you xx

– Hannah Tappenden, Reflexologist

Laura is an excellent designer and consultant. She has helped us considerably with our visual identity and is always on hand to offer advice whenever we need it. Highly recommended.

LJB Studio provided us with an excellent and evocative piece of work for our recent event. It was truly something special. She oversaw the process from conception to delivery which took a huge weight off for us.

– Kyle Soo Founder, PechaKucha Manchester

Over the last few months I've been working with branding guru, stationery queen and loveliest lady Laura of LJB Studio to make some changes to my practice. The journey of rebranding which I went on with Laura has recently reinvigorated me and my love for pewter. I'm excited and I want to shout it from the rooftops…
