Our Design Process:

  • This is our opportunity to connect and build a clear understanding of your unique business, brand, and goals. During this consult, we’ll dive into the details of your project—exploring your vision, discussing timelines, and pinpointing key objectives. It’s a collaborative space where we ensure we’re aligned and set the foundation for a successful partnership.

     A quote, project proposal and agreements will be sent.

    Once these have been approved alongside the 50% non-refundable deposit has been made, this will be required to confirm your spot in our calendar.

  • In this phase, we’ll ensure everything is organised and ready for a smooth start. Together, we’ll have a detailed discussion to finalise project timelines, goals, and objectives. Your dedicated client portal will also be set up, serving as a central hub to track deadlines, steps, and phases of the project. It will include clear checklists for both of us, ensuring we stay aligned and on schedule throughout the process.

    Once the project has been scheduled in our calendars, we will need to do the prep work before starting. A questionnaire will be required to complete detailing your business, your audience and design preferences.

    Depending on your project, this will also include:

    • Website content guideline documents

    • Website Sitemap

    • Logo and Branding Folders

    • Images Folder

    • And more

  • Once the design brief has been completed we will begin your design project. This will also include industry research, and customer insights to gain knowledge for the design strategy.

    You will have two rounds of amendments over a few business days to provide feedback. Once approved we will finalise the design and prepare for handover.

  • If necessary, we can schedule a half-hour session for a walk-through of your new website.

    We will take you through the simple processes so you can manage the basics of your new website. This will be recorded so you can use it in the future.

    The studio will also provide you with a reference Help Guide for your FAQs on your new Squarespace website.

  • My brand didn’t reflect who I am, and how I wanted my clients to see me in the world.  It was drab and dark and now after working with Kellie it’s vibrant, sassy and 100% me”. Thank you!

    —Brigid W, Business Coach, Auckland

  • This woman is sooo bloody talented in so many areas it’s unbelievable. Kellie started by doing my branding then progressed to developing my whole course online, taking the branding style straight through and implementing the course membership and modules. I love it! I almost cried when I first saw it - it’s brilliant and I’m so happy.

    Lynda Fulton, Christchurch

  • Kellie's not only a great designer she was fantastic to deal with and made the whole process really easy… I loved that she listened to everything I wanted and really took it on board.  This made it really easy to deal with Kellie and the whole design process was a breeze.

    — Michelle, Love the Little Things

  • Working with Kellie is great! She makes the process of getting a great branding bundle so easy.

    Gemma, Auckland

  • Gosh, I just don't have the words to describe how grateful I am to Kellie for her Canva templates. They have saved me so much time and I have SO much confidence that I have created the most rocking opt-in ever.

    Sarah, Christchurch

  • I recently attended the Creative in Canva workshop hosted by Kellie and recommend it to anyone who is new to Canva and would like to know how to use it with confidence. Her course has structure and she gives you the tools to navigate your way to your creation.

    Irene, Auckland

  • Kellie is an expert and taking what is in your head and turning it into a beautiful online product. She went above and beyond.

    Terra Bohlman, Business Coach, Texas

  • Kellie has been integral to my business.  She not only designed my gorgeous ebook but also developed a theme for my advertisement and website. Kellie also taught me many social media techniques and how to make a plan including Facebook advertising.  If you want anyone to teach you, I highly recommend Kellie. She is clear, and articulate and certainly knows her stuff.

Meet Owner & Creative Designer

Hi, I’m Kellie Annesley-Smith

I don’t believe in just making things “pretty.” My method of operandi, when it comes to working with my clients is Strategy + Design means an Unforgettable Brand.

Everything I create is built with purpose:
Commercially driven branding – ensuring your brand aligns with your business goals and attracts the right clients;
Websites designed for conversion – because aesthetics mean anything without results;
A streamlined, collaborative process – no confusion, no overwhelm, just clarity and momentum.

By blending design, strategy, and storytelling, I create an experience that reflects the heart of my client’s business while making sure it actually drives results.
