Creative design for makers who ARE their business.

Creativity isn't just for the craft table

If you are a coach, a photographer, nutritionist, artist, interior designer, therapist or any kind of business that’s built on sharing the magic inside your head (and your heart), then you are already creative.

The work you do requires imagination, intuition and the courage to offer something of yourself to another person.

The problem is rarely the magic.
The problem is showing it.

Small business owners are inherently busy. You need to be the sales team, the expert, the accountant, the customer service team, the delivery person and the stocktaker – you’re swapping hats on an hourly basis.

But the one thing that only you can be is you.

Sounds obvious, but it presents an opportunity… and a potential sticking point too.

Because so many small businesses go straight to the outer stuff. They get a logo. They pick some colours. They ask AI to write an about page that sounds like who they ‘should’ be.

And then they wonder why none of it feels right, why they hesitate before posting, cringe when someone asks for their website, and spend twice as long on their marketing as they’d like to.

Why? Because the inner work is missing. Without a foundation, whatever you build is likely to wobble. You can’t build something that looks like you if you haven't done the work of understanding who you actually are.

The gap between who you are and how you appear to others is exactly what we’re here to resolve. Not by making you look like everyone else in your industry. By making you look, finally and totally, like yourself.

This isn't just about design. It never has been.

Thirty years of design experience hasn’t just taught me how to use the software. It means I’ve sat with hundreds of small businesses, watched what works, watched what doesn't, and developed an instinct for the gap between what a business owner says they want and what their clients actually need to know about them.

It means knowing that the logo is rarely the problem. That colour palettes don't save a brand that hasn't done its thinking. That your website text isn't a copywriting problem, it's an identity problem.

It means being able to look at your business and see things you can't see yourself, like the golden thread running through everything you do. Or the visual language that's been trying to emerge for years. And the positioning that makes you unmistakable and magnetic – because no, professional doesn’t mean boring.

That translation is the work. It starts long before anything is designed, and it ensures that evereything we create works.

Client testimonials

  • "Contacting RMG Creative has been an excellent decision for us. Lucy really ‘got’ where we were coming from as independent family funeral directors and understands for us how important it is that our brand and marketing is sensitive and has the right ‘tone’.  Her knowledge has enabled us to maximise advertising opportunities to ensure they have the most impact possible. She is friendly and easy to work with, her creativeness and high standards have created our new ‘look’ and website which often receive compliments from our clients. We thoroughly recommend RMG Creative."

    Rachel and George Locke, R Locke and Son

  • “Working with Lucy was a great decision for us. From day one, Lucy listened, and very quickly understood us, our company culture and future goals. She has been fundamental in successfully building our brand. Lucy is both analytical and naturally creative, and working with her is an extremely positive experience.”

    Bower Willis Designs

  • “Having worked with local and global creative, branding and marketing agencies all over the world over more than 20 years, I was confident that I knew what I wanted. The difficulty was finding that right outfit who could use my brand assets and deploy them on items such as business cards and my company website. RMG Creative approached our collaboration with exceptional proactivity, professionalism and punctuality. I felt guided, supported and heard at all times. The results speak for themselves. 100% satisfaction, and that’s from a position of high expectations. Thank you Lucy and RMG Creative.”

    Ioana Jago | IVENTUM Limited

  • “For the first few years of running our architectural practice I was managing the advertising and marketing by myself and I became increasingly aware we needed professional help. After speaking with a number of marketing consultants I felt no one really understood what I wanted to achieve. Upon my first meeting with RMG, I instantly felt this problem had been resolved. Lucy is always keen to understand issues unique to architecture, so we can work collaboratively to promote Stolwood Architects. I would not hesitate in recommending her to work alongside any business - big or small.”

    Emma Stolwood | Stolwood Architects LLP

  • “Lucy has done some amazing work for our shop including brochure design, email newsletters and magazine articles. A fabulous creative and inspiring lady!”

    Louise Harvey | The Richard Harvey Collection

  • “Working with RMG was a joy. From our first meeting, Lucy took the time to really understand me, my business and what I wanted to achieve. She guided me to make sure my aspirations were realised – and bettered! The whole process was extremely positive with a fast turnaround, plenty of aftercare and great value for money. Can’t recommend her enough”.

    Mary Keeley | Mary Keeley Consultancy

  • "Working with Lucy has been productive, fun and very easy. She listened, asked very relevant questions and I sensed she had a very good idea of what was required from the get go. Her translation of my vision was spot on, she afforded me time  to run through several thought processes around my current design image and how it could translate in different formats. She intuitively then presented me with a couple of new concepts based on our conversation and nailed it! She was very helpful in talking to others with regards the technical side of the design and all in all was a pleasure to work with. Lucy made me feel confident that she could deliver what I needed, in the past I haven’t felt this level of confidence and trust with other designers. I recommend her services and will use them again in the future when the time is right."

    LOUISE BEDGEN, TRUESOUL ACADEMY

  • "I have worked with RMG on a diverse range of projects. She is a delight to work with and always brings fresh ideas. Lucy’s ability to accurately interpret a brief is invaluable. She is generous in the range of concepts she puts forward and always willing to try new suggestions. Lucy’s collaborative approach, high quality of work and attention to detail are consistent regardless of the size of the project. I have no hesitation in recommending Lucy."

 FAQs

  • Lucy works with people who are their business, such as coaches, therapists, nutritionists, photographers, artists, personal trainers, consultants, healers and anyone whose work is inseparable from who they are. If you're a founder whose personality, expertise and values are the product, this is the right place.

  • Every project starts with a conversation to understand who you are and what you're trying to say, before anything is designed.

    Lucy uses a Define, Design, Deliver framework: first establishing the foundations of your brand identity (your message, your audience, your positioning), then creating the visual work, then helping you put everything into the world consistently.

    The pace and depth of that process depends on which service you choose, and how you prefer to work.
