  • “I was scared to invest in a brand designer because I started my business from nothing and already knew the product would be expensive. I had a vision in my head but didn't know how to execute. Investing in my branding was something I will never regret. After my first meeting with Dotted Design I knew she was the perfect fit. From the beginning it's like she knew what my thoughts were and brought them to life. Laura is pure magic and is beyond great at what she does. She makes you feel like you are her only client and goes above and beyond to make your brand perfect for you and your customers. I am forever grateful for her and if you need any branding done I cannot recommend her enough!”

    Katherine, Cozy-hearted

  • “Working with Laura has truly been a dream come true!

    I have never worked with a graphic designer who so deeply gets what we want to express through our packaging, understands our brand style at its core and produces jaw-dropping designs!”

    Lisa Stoy, Green Girl Bakeshop

  • "I'm just so elated.

    I feel giddy just thinking about it and feel more pride about the brand which is what I was hoping for. I feel like just in the work you did, you increased the value of our company to a multi-millon dollar company! I’m so grateful for your design skills and great listening skills.”

    Christy, Muffin Revolution

  • “You renewed my faith and lit my soul on fire again for my business.

    I'm not sure how I will ever repay you for doing what you call ‘your job.’ It was clear from the moment you accepted the challenge that you were 100% invested and treated this project like it was your own business.”

    Jenn, Greencrest Manor & Modern Day Collective

Customers have higher expectations than ever.

They want a great product, of course, but they want to feel a connection as well. Whether that’s a sense of shared values, or feeling good about their purchase with your give-back program, they buy from you because of how they feel.

But we believe you don’t have to scream to stand out.
