Hi, I’m Kayleigh, your designer prescriber!
The secret sauce behind your dose of design
Your website and branding should talk to your ideal clients and also capture your vision and values. My job is to listen to your problems and understand your audience so that I can find your perfect solution.
That’s where the prescription pad comes in...
For me, design is both an art and a science. It is carefully calculated but creatively inspired. (Yes, I was that kid at school that loved both art and science!)
It’s a bit like a really good curry. Like a posh Punjabi set menu, to be specific. You know, where the right flavours follow each other with that perfect mix of sweet and salty?
And if you change a single ingredient you won’t get the same results. Thoughtful design is exactly the same.
After working in a couple of design agencies, I set up Hall Creative in 2014 to help other creatives bring their vision to life. Because I love working one-to-one and feeling like your design partner in crime.
When I am not designing (or eating curry) I can normally be found “mumming” to my two handsome boys at my Walsall home. Or marinading cauliflower.
Yes, you read that last bit right. I’m the vegetarian who treats cauliflower like chicken - seriously, ask me about my cauliflower “buffalo wings” recipe when we chat... I might even share the recipe!
Intuition is my superpower and other fun facts...

I can’t ride a bike! Yep, I was that kid who was always inside drawing, making posters, or stuck with my head in a book. So if you’re looking for branding with a BMX backie bonus, I might not be your gal.

Feedback feeds me! I love feedback sessions - some people think that’s strange but it’s how we turn initial concepts into your dream design. So don’t hold back, I am approachable and a good listener.

My dad’s motto is “never miss a punchline” and I come from a family of clowns so laughter is my medicine. Mixed with a dose of design of course. I try to make our sessions as upbeat as they are productive.

I am qualified to prescribe design after studying visual communication at the Birmingham Institute of Art and Design. No, I cannot prescribe anything harder I’m afraid.

True story, I am a self-confessed fonts geek. Typography. I love it. Your font is your voice and gives personality to your brand. Forgive me if I get a little bit excited about this!
A magical world of fonts and colours
“It’s such a collaborative, exploratory, and creative process. Even the way that Kayleigh explains the fonts and colours and accents, it feels quite magical. Like you're entering into a bit of a new world. She's clever like that. She really knows what she's doing.”
—Jae Gibbs, Brand Identity + Strategy, Empowering Purpose
My Oscar Speech…
Would be dedicated to my Grandad, who is the inspiration behind my work ethic every single day. And the reason I have used our shared surname in my brand name.
Grandad Hall moved to England from Jamaica on his own when he was 20 and he’s one of the hardest working people I have ever met. A real grafter.
Not only has he been a constant source of wisdom in my life but he makes the meanest hot chocolate! And for that, I will always be grateful.
*Blows kisses, takes a proud bow, and exits centre stage right (whilst wondering what on earth I won an Oscar for...)
Now it’s your turn
I am done with talking about me. But I would really love to hear all about you and your business.
Send me a few details and we’ll get a call booked in - I’m already reaching for the kettle.
