hi, i’m laura…
the designer behind Northfell Creative. I create thoughtful brands and websites for small lifestyle and outdoor businesses.
Living in the Lake District, I’m inspired by the outdoors and a slower, more considered way of working — designing brands that feel calm, cohesive, and easy to connect with.
I take a simple, thoughtful approach, working closely with you to create something that feels right for your brand.
what i offer
-
Unique, memorable logos and brand visuals that reflect your business identity. -
Clean, user-friendly websites that balance style with functionality.
-
Ongoing help with documents, templates, packaging, and print materials.
-
From bespoke maps to custom drawings, I create illustrations that add character and personality.

why work with me
-
I understand that every project is different, so I take the time to get to know your story, your audience, and your goals.
Whether you’re a start-up looking for your first logo or an established business in need of fresh visuals, I’ll work with you to create designs that are both professional and playful. -
I believe design should feel exciting, not overwhelming. My goal is to create websites and branding that not only look beautiful, but that you feel confident managing yourself.
-
I like to keep things open, honest, and easy. You’ll always know what to expect, from the design process to the pricing, no surprises, just clear communication.
I work efficiently and keep things moving, so you can get what you need without long waits or endless back-and-forth.
Whether it’s a full project or a quick design job, I aim to make the experience friendly, straightforward, and genuinely enjoyable.

& creative design
I love using illustration to bring ideas and brands to life — whether that’s adding personality to a product, creating a custom artwork for a business, or designing something completely one of a kind. My style combines clean design with hand-drawn detail, giving each piece a thoughtful, crafted feel.
Past projects have included custom maps, illustrated bottle wraps, and bespoke artwork for businesses looking for something unique and characterful. Every design starts with a conversation about your story and what you’d like to share visually.
If you’ve got an idea in mind — no matter how small or abstract — I’d love to help you turn it into something creative and memorable.

Laura designed a stylised map for our hospitality business, to give guests an idea of the location of the properties and surrounding area. She understood the brief perfectly and we were blown away by her design. She has a great eye for colour and detail and was an absolute joy to work with.

Laura designed my website in 2020 and delivered an outstanding product that perfectly reflected my brand. After a detailed and insightful briefing, she gathered all the necessary information and translated it into a beautiful, functional, and cohesive website.
Throughout the years, as we implemented small updates and refinements, Laura has always been highly responsive and precise. Her creativity, attention to detail, and evolving design sensibility have been a constant source of inspiration.
I wholeheartedly recommend Laura to anyone seeking not just a website designer, but a true creative partner who brings vision, heart, and artistry to her work.

Laura did a wonderful job of making this print truly personal for my sister’s achievement of ‘compleating’ her Munros. Laura made a beautiful silhouette from the photo I sent and she could not have offered a friendlier or more skilled service. My sister is delighted with the print. Thank you, Laura :)
