Q What do you do?
“Howdy, I’m Izzy, you’ll catch me out in the wild crafting obsession worthy visuals for personal brands, entrepreneurs and small businesses who dare to want more.”
I hope you’re hungry for creativity because we’re serving up a hot plate of brand design, graphic design, web design, creative direction and illustration. Whether you need a full-blown brand identity, an obsession-worthy website or just a sprinkle of refreshing visuals, I’ve got the bread and butter to send you out of the door with a spell-binding presence!
Q What steps did you take to get to where you are now?
After years of working in the film industry I was desperate to have my location and creative freedom back, covid entered the chat and suddenly my career stalled. I packed up, moved home and decided to undertake the ultimate slashie phase! I took all the online courses and tried all the things (archery, pottery, you name it). It turns out me and design were a match made in heaven and after a while of assisting other designers I took the risk of setting up my own business. The risk paid off, I packed my bags and began my nomadic journey living in places such as Madeira, New York, Montenegro and the Arctic Circle!
Q How do you stand out in your field?
My superpower is “getting” people. I’m able to dig deep into the root of who someone is and pull out a creative vision that lights their soul on fire. I pride myself on knowing when it’s appropriate to push creative boundaries and when to dial it back. I’ve developed a deep understanding of the power of visual storytelling. With a keen eye for detail and a passion for crafting compelling narratives, I have helped countless clients worldwide to build impactful and memorable brands from the ground up!
Q What are you working on right now?
I’m kicking off a couple of really cool brand and web projects including a personal brand for a tour guide in Marseille and a wine store in New York! I’m also really excited to be working on the launch of my design shop which will house website templates, social media templates, fonts & resources!
Q What’s your style?
This is something that’s constantly evolving and I like to experiment with multiple styles, but I definitely have a soft spot for the bold, colorful and artistic visuals that just ooze individuality. I want to put out designs that articulate atmosphere and emotion in a way that inspires people to take action. I'm a big believer that good design can change the world!
Q Out of all your slashies, which one do you wish you could do more often?
Content Creation! When I get the time I love to document my nomad adventures ☺
Q What is frustrating you right now?
That so many people don’t see or understand the value in good design! For many it’s too far down the list of investments when it’s the key to building a brand and going from just another option to a household name!
Q If you could hire someone for $20/hour, what would you have them do to make your day easier?
Someone to help with the pesky organization and finance side of things!
Q What do you wish you could have told yourself, when, and why?
I would tell my teenage self to chill out, you don’t have to decide what you’re doing for the rest of your life, you just have to decide what you’re going to try first and what you’re going to put your energy into next.
Q If you could talk to an expert to gain more insight on something, what would it be about?
I always find it enriching talking to other business owners who have been in my position. I'm always eager to learn how to improve every aspect of my business. Sometimes I feel like I need business therapy, the freelance world is equal parts rewarding and brutal, it’s hard not to attach your self-worth to it!
Q What kind of opportunities/projects are you looking for?
Branding, web-design, graphic design and editorial illustration projects - I’m looking at you!
Q Describe your ideal job/client/collaboration.
If we’re talking human first then think kind, compassionate and a good sense of humor! I love working with personal brands, entrepreneurs and businesses with big ideas, people who dare to dream big. People who dream of having their creative vision come to life and have one hell of a design road-block.
Q What is your rate?
Ok, but gimme the numbers?! I feel you!
So our mini branding projects start at $1800+ and if you head over to the website we have some set price packages and a la carte services for y’all to gaze upon! For custom projects and web design it will come down to the complexity and scale of the project!
I also offer more affordable buy-it-now templates and design intensive day rates to kick-start that design magic into your brand sooner rather than later!
(Note that prices are subject to change)
Q How should someone approach you about working together?
Best to send a carrier pigeon but if yours is busy drop me an email at isobel@houseofwynn.co - My DMs on the ‘gram are always open too!

Kori Whitby, badass Copy Writer!
Heather Hutchinson of Be Full Bloom
