Hi, Im Helen - the creative force behind Creative Designs by Helen. A passionate and detail-driven graphic designer with a unique creative journey that began behind the scenes in the world of TV and film. Before stepping into the world of visual design, I worked professionally as a special effects makeup artist, creating character-driven looks for screen that required an expert eye for colour theory, shape, texture, and storytelling. That hands-on experience gave me a deep, intuitive understanding of visual impact, skills I now bring to every graphic design project I take on.

My transition into design was a natural evolution of my creative practice. Since 2019, I’ve pursued formal training at Westminster Adult Education Service, earning the following qualifications:

Level 3 UAL Diploma in Creative Practice (Graphic Design) - 2021

Level 2 UAL Diploma in Art and Design (Graphic Design) - 2020

Level 1 NCFE Award in Graphic Design - 2019

These programmes gave me the tools to build on my artistic background and translate my creative instincts into digital and print formats. I now specialise in brand identity, logo design, social media content, and print materials, combining technical precision with a cinematic flair for visuals that connect and inspire.

What I Do:

I specialise in graphic design services crafted especially for new and growing businesses. Whether you're launching your first venture or rebranding your dream, I'm here to bring your vision to life with designs that are as bold and original as your ideas.

Starting a business is personal - and your brand should reflect that. I work closely with each client to create custom logos, branding packages and visual assets that not only look professional but feel authentic to who you are and what you stand for. 

​With a passion for clean design and meaningful creativity, my goal is to help entrepreneurs stand out, connect with their audience, and build a brand they're proud of. Let's turn your ideas into impactful visuals that make your business unforgettable.

What I Value:

Authenticity, story-driven design, and meaningful collaboration. I believe in creating work that not only looks great but resonates with the people it’s meant to reach.

What I’m Working On:

I’m currently building my freelance design business, expanding into personal branding, digital content strategy, and exploring UX/UI design to round out my skill set.
