Branding + Marketing + Websites

Design and strategy that gets you seen, understood and ready to grow.

You don’t need a louder brand. You need a clearer one. We work with small business owners, creatives and independents to shape branding, websites, marketing and campaigns that actually feel like you - thoughtful, strategic and built to support how you want to show up.

Whether you’re starting fresh or evolving something that already exists, we'll help you get visible in a way that’s sustainable and effective without the hustle culture.

Good design gets attention. Smart strategy keeps it.

    • Stay visible (without burning out)

  • I have worked with Rach for over a year now. I was lucky enough to work with her on clients and also work with her on my brand. She just gets it and advises and suggests recommendations in a subtle caring way. She does over and above with the value she offers and understands the business I am in so well. It is not just marketing and branding but also to have someone in your camp who understands your business and your goals. Rach will work with you to smash your goals but also keep you focused, and on brand so you are not going off on a tangent. Love working with The Design Cure, not too sure how I ever did this without Rach. 

    H, Owner Ecom HQ.

  • In a short time Rachel has been instrumental in restructuring our marketing within the constraints of a not for profit organisation to provide maximum benefit to the association. Rachel goes above and beyond to ensure work is completed on time to the highest standard. She immediately understood the needs of our organisation and through excellent prioritising has delivered well beyond expectations. Rachel has re-engaged a disenchanted membership and community and has ensured our branding is consistent across all our platforms and reflects the associations values and missions. Her skills and experience as a marketer, combined with her commitment to ensuring everything she starts is finished on time and to the highest possible standard make her an invaluable team member who will drive any organisation forward.

    Leah Moloney, Business Manager Strathnairn Arts Association.

  • “Rachel is an absolute pleasure to work with. She exudes a positive energy from beginning to end of any project. She is approachable, creative, communicates effectively and is incredibly supportive in her understanding of the client’s vision.”

    Kate Dawson, Owner Sissa Sorella.

  • “Rachel has always been there to guide, support, teach, create and grow with me and my business. She is able to use her broad knowledge and depth of experience to determine and pre-empt the marketing needs of my business in all areas from website building, branding to marketing plans. Invaluable.”

    - Renae Scott, Owner Nourish & Breathe.

  • During our meeting, Rachel quickly grasped the essence of my vision. Her attentiveness and empathy, coupled with her hard work, allowed us to create a website that truly represented Jana Ayurveda and Yoga. Rachel's work is marked by subtle, yet powerful, touches of efficiency and clarity that I found really delightful. I'm excited to continue working with Rachel for a long time to come. Thank you very much for your beautiful work.

    Géraldine Saint Gilles, Owner Jana - Yoga & Ayurveda.

  • Working with Rachel on my branding for Hunters Doggy Day Care was effortless for me, she listened and understood my requirements instantly and came back with full brand guidelines, business card designs, and a website design ( built in Square ).  I have worked with many designers but Rachel just listens and understands and made it super easy for me. She even put all my social templates in Canva so I can use and create them myself. Highly recommend The Design Cure. Rach just gets it and keeps it simple. Thank you Rach.

    Karen, Owner Hunter's Doggy Day Care.

  • Working with Rachel @ TDC was a total pleasure. She was thoughtful, clear sighted and has an excellent sense of design. I could not be happier with the website she built, and now have Insta and Facebook accounts that work! Rachel took all ideas and suggestions seriously but was able to have a laugh along the way, which made the experience that much better. I would recommend TDC to anyone.
