What makes us different?
WHY US
Strategy
Our journey begins by truly understanding you—your essence, your customer value proposition, and your aspirations in the market.
Collaboration
We firmly believe in collaboration and see ourselves as your partners. Your insights into your business and clients, combined with our expertise in design and brand strategy, allow us to develop a brand that captivates your audience, inspires action, and helps you achieve your goals.
Tailored
Recognising the uniqueness of your business, we understand that ready-made designs won't suffice. We deliver fully bespoke brand and website designs tailored specifically to your business, clients, and offerings.
Commitment
We are committed to ensuring that this investment drives the growth of your business. We genuinely care about you and your business. Every decision we make and every piece of advice we offer stems from our sincere desire for your business's success.
Kind words
As well as bringing our vision to life and exceeding expectations on our logo, the service is also fantastic, would 100% recommend and use again. Not the cheapest (We tried them and did not get anywhere) but not the most expensive either and worth every penny. Faultless!

I'm Barbara

I’m the Co-Founder and Creative Director at The You Co, with over 18 years of design experience and 14 years as a professional photographer.
​
Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with clients from all corners of the world, helping them create visuals that really connect.
​
Alongside my business partner, who focuses on business development, I manage the creative side and take the lead on project management. This means you’ll be working directly with me throughout, ensuring everything runs smoothly and we stay on track with your goals.
​
With a mix of art direction, design, branding, and photography, I’m passionate about bringing fresh, creative ideas to every project. One thing I particularly enjoy and specialise in is layout design, having worked in the magazine industry, where I developed a strong eye for detail and storytelling.
​
I’m looking forward to working together and bringing your ideas to life!
MEET THE TEAM
We’re not a one-person show! We have a small, but mighty team of trusted associates that we collaborate with when a project calls for their expertise.
Jane

Jane comes with 20 years experience in PR and journalism but frequent moves due to military wife life have honed her superpower. As a result she’s worked across sectors: public private and charity but has always maintained her values-led, passionate, curious approach. She wants to know what makes people tick - and loves to media train others to see and share their strengths publicly too. Homelessness and housing, ESG, education, diversity, feminism, development, sustainability and health all light her up but to be honest she finds the most fabulous thing to be taking the thoughts inside your head polishing them to perfection, and making them shine like a shooting star.
