Specialised Branding & Design Studio

Big-agency craft,
small-business sense.

True North Creative gives small and independent businesses the kind of branding and design usually reserved for big budgets: clear, consistent, and still unmistakably yours.

Meet your Creative

Hi, I'm Sian.

I grew up in Johannesburg and now run True North Creative from Chester, after 18+ years building brands across B2B and B2C. I swapped a corporate title for a proper work–life balance, without lowering the bar on the work itself. I share my office with a mini sausage dog and two cats, who firmly believe every video call is theirs.

Think of me as an extension of your team rather than another supplier, someone who sits close enough to the work to get your ideas right, and has the experience to make them look like they belong in a much bigger business.

How can I help?

Three specialised services I offer

Brand Development

Elevate your brand with strategic logo design and custom identity systems for small independent businesses in Chester and beyond. From core visual foundations to polished print assets, I create clear, memorable brands crafted with purpose and care.

Graphic Design

No matter how complex or simple the brief, your project deserves intention, impact, and consistency. From visually engaging websites and social content, to beautifully crafted print sales and marketing materials, I ensure your brand communication is on-brief, current and unmistakably yours.

End-to-End Creative Services

From one-off personal requests to long-term commercial strategies, I offer full-spectrum creative support—including direction, copywriting, and illustration. I'll guide your project with sound advice from initial concept through to final delivery, handling every detail with care.

From one-off projects to ongoing creative support. Let's create a custom package based on your design needs.
