Who we are
We’re Brave by Design, a family-run FMCG branding and packaging design agency with a passion for building brands that not only connect and stand out, but are also commercially positioned to sell.
Founded by Debbie, Brand Strategist and Creative Director, Brave brings together strategic clarity and distinctive design to help ambitious brands find their unique voice and visual identity.
Together, we bring a very powerful mix of clarity, creativity and strategic insight to every project.
We work closely with founders and growing brands to create identities that feel honest, distinctive and shelf-ready – without the fluff.
Debbie: Brand Strategist & Creative Director
With a background in book publishing, Debbie is a storyteller at heart. Her shift into FMCG branding was fuelled by a love of building brands from the ground up – creating identities and packaging that are not only visually striking, but also commercially smart.
Outside of work, she loves beach walks, spending time with family and getting inspired by architecture.
Emma: Senior Designer
Emma combines a sharp eye for design with a love of illustration, character creation and storytelling.
Alongside her design work at Brave, she’s the founder of a wonderful children’s stationery brand (Poco & Ned) – and when she’s not designing, you’ll find her enjoying long walks, sketching on her iPad or dancing her heart out in a Zumba class.

Why we built Brave
We built Brave by Design to create from truth, not trend.
The name means something because we’ve earned it.
We’ve outgrown playing small and we partner with brands looking to do the same.
As a strategic FMCG branding and packaging design agency,
we partner with food, drink and skincare brands who are ready to grow.
Founders who are building with depth, vision and integrity — but now feel stuck.
Because they haven’t found the right words, the right look, the right support.
We know what it means to rebuild strategically, intentionally, powerfully.
And that’s the energy we bring to every project.
In a market that’s louder than ever, we care about clarity, not noise.
Design that meets you where you are and takes you where you want to go.
If that’s the kind of brand you’re building, we’re here for it.
