How it works…
What you can share
about my work.
Here are some reasons my clients love working with me:
Vision-Led and Strategic
I help founders turn big ideas into a clear, cohesive brand—visually, verbally, and strategically. From the first spark to a solid brand foundation, I bring clarity, direction, and bold design.
Websites You Can Edit Yourself
I build beautiful, no-code websites that you can easily update without needing a developer. Change text, swap photos—everything is designed to be intuitive, flexible, and fully yours.
Smooth, Supportive Collaboration
Working with me feels easy. I keep communication open, make sure you feel supported, and challenge you when needed—to make confident decisions and build something you’re proud of.
Design That Understands Marketing
Beautiful brands are great—but they also need to convert. I combine strong aesthetics with marketing insight to create branding and websites that attract, engage, and turn visitors into clients.
Tailored to Fit, Never One-Size
Every project is custom. I create brand identities and websites that feel like you—aligned with your personality, values, and goals. No trends, no templates, just timeless design with purpose.
Not just design, but building brands. With years of experience as an art director and brand thinker, I bring more than just visuals to the table. From positioning and copy to funnels and strategy, I help businesses grow smarter.
What other clients
say about me.
Caro
House of Unity
I feel very grateful that Tessa created the branding for House of Unity. She was a delight to work with during our collaboration, and her creative energy flowed abundantly, which led to a beautiful result. Are you looking for someone who creates from passion and love? Someone who creates from the soul? Then look no further. Thank you, dear woman.
Jorn Craeghs
Nono Behavioural Agency
Yes, I made the right decision! I hired Tessa. Choosing a brand designer is a tough choice. Can they understand my vision? Are they able to come up with different directions? Can they actually deliver on all the necessary brand assets? And are they fun to work with? She delivered on every wish I had. She was genuinely interested in my story. She could quickly turn it into diverging branding routes. She designed the core branding aspects, but also all the digital assets I needed to launch. And I enjoyed every session we had together.
Ruud Scholten
PRT WINE
I chose Tessa for my branding due to her impressive portfolio and connection to my vision. She positioned us as niche experts, highlighting our unique value. With patience and insight, Tessa created a beautiful design and logo that reflect our values and mission. Tessa strengthened our brand identity and ensured a consistent look. Her professionalism, efficiency, and creativity were invaluable. I highly recommend Tessa for her talent, integrity, and dedication.
Veerle Allaerts
Founder Allaerts Advocaten
Tessa came highly recommended as "open, creative, and really cool," and she lived up to every word. She exceeded my high expectations by developing a logo and corporate identity for a law firm, seamlessly blending organization with creativity. Throughout the process, Tessa was flexible, collaborative, and proactive. Her trustworthiness and talent shine through in every detail. I’m thrilled with my website, logo, and corporate identity, and I frequently receive compliments on them!
Pierse Williams
Batur digital
As a brand designer, Tessa’s creativity and skill have consistently impressed us across multiple client projects we’ve collaborated on. Tessa has a remarkable ability to take her clients on a journey to discover their own brand identity and bring to life their vision, delivering designs that are not only visually stunning but also perfectly aligned with their brand identity and goals. Tessa is a joy to work with and is a truly lovely person.

Right from the start of this collaboration, I knew it was right. Tessa asked me good questions to learn everything about my service. In addition, she worked in a document in which all process steps and duration were described. Personally I like this, because then I know exactly where I stand. But also what I need to have clear before Tessa can continue. Determining the design of the website went very smoothly. We discussed various directions and we worked towards a result that is a 100% aligned with my vision.
Calvin Macleod
Batur Digital
Working with Tessa as an extension of our team for several years, Batur Digital has been recognized as one of the leading corporate branding agencies in the UK. For the past four years, Tessa has collaborated with us from the start of our website projects, consulting directly with our clients to bring their visions to life through branding and visual style. Each collaboration has received glowing feedback for the outstanding results and Tessa's positive energy.

ELDERS
Tessa was the best sparring partner for our new brand: ELDERS. Along the way, I turned out to be my own worst archetype client: having a change of heart overnight, while overthinking every detail. Nonetheless, Tessa nailed our brand identity with creativity, wit and professionalism. She brought our vision to life, octopus tentacles and whale tails included, and showed genuine interest in our mission. Highly recommended!
Marco Bosma
Triquesta
Our goal in working with Tessa was to reposition our brand and create a fresh, distinguished website with good navigation—and she delivered. Referred to us for her unique creative approach, Tessa brought cool ideas and executed them with high quality. The color, style, and overall look felt cohesive and elevated. I would recommend Tessa for her solid, reliable work and her ability to bring a creative, different touch to projects.

Tes turned my brand into a "home" that was enjoyable for me to create with!! I came with Tes with many ideas, feelings, vibes, and words. I wanted to leave with a brand that felt like "me" and I could grow with it. That's exactly what I got and more!

Artistic Movements
My favorite part of working with Tessa was how she helped us clarify our core purpose at Artistic Movements. Over the years, I lost touch with our key values, but in talking with her, we realized inclusivity is at the heart of what we do. She translated this beautifully into our branding—through visuals, text, and member interactions—and I’m thrilled with the result.

Helping you shake things up
and make a bigger impact.
These are the kinds of clients I usually work with—but honestly, I care more about the person than the niche. If it’s a creative project with good vibes, I’m always open to the conversation.
