Brands you can almost feel, layered in texture & hand drawn pattern
INDEPENDENT DESIGN STUDIOStephenson Design is an independent studio working with small independent businesses, offering branding and websites full of warmth, character and hand-drawn detail, designed to feel like you.
Every single project gets a dedicated, hands-on creative process, so you finish with a warm, one-of-a-kind brand identity that makes your business truly stand out and be remembered.
Sound Familiar?
You’ve built something you’re proud of, but your brand still feels like a placeholder.
Maybe it’s a DIY logo you made to get started. Maybe it’s a look that blends in with everyone else, or a mix of colours and fonts that never quite match. Your customers can feel the gap.
It’s hard to show up with confidence on social media, on your packaging, or in front of new customers when your brand doesn’t feel like you.
That’s where I come in…

Meet The Designer
Hello I’m Cat, the designer and founder of Stephenson Design. Welcome to my website, I hope you find everything you need here.
I’ve always been drawn to detail, texture, and the way things are made. My background in textiles and buying shaped the way I see design: thoughtful, considered, and purposeful.
I work closely with small businesses — whether product or service-based — to create branding and websites that reflect the care and quality behind their work. Every project is treated as unique, blending visual detail with strategy so your brand feels clear, confident, and authentic.
For me, design isn’t about following trends. It’s about helping your business show up in a way that’s true to you, resonates with your audience, and stands the test of time.
TESTIMONIALS“Working with Stephenson Design was an incredible experience. The work Cat created for me exceeded all expectations — I genuinely love it. Her talent and creativity shine through in every detail, and it’s clear she put thought, care, and passion into everything she does.
Cat took a unique view and went the extra mile, from researching what my ideal clients needed to understanding how my brand could stand out. The result is more than just a visual identity — it’s a powerful, empowering brand with clear guidelines that set me up for success. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough.”
