I’ve always been something of a bookworm. But I have to say… …it’s been hard to make space for reading in this season of life, especially when so much of my time is dedicated to writing. My first book is on its way, and I’m also working on the design, so it’s been an interesting experience taking it to the finish line. And we are almost there! In honour of some of the books that have inspired me over the years, today I thought I’d share a few of my favourite brand shaping books. These are some of my essential reads for strategy, styling and storytelling, and each has influenced my approach to design, mentoring and writing over the years. What business or creative books would you add to this list? Drop your must-reads in the comments! And would you like to see the books that made me think it was time to write my own? 💫 Upcoming release 💫 My first book, Shape Your Brand Story, is publishing on 22nd October 2026 and you can pre-order your copy today. A gift for your future self! #ShapeYourBrandStory #BusinessBookClub #CreativeBookstagram #StorytellingMagic #MyBookShelf

Designing Brand Identity by @alinawheeler & @robmeyerson is the rare book that treats branding as what it actually is, not logos, not colour palettes, but a business discipline with process, politics, and P&L consequences. Naming frameworks I’ve already used in client work. Brand architecture models that explain why Tata and HUL are built so differently. A whole section on measuring brand ROI, the question every founder asks and most consultants dodge. My copy is now full of sticky notes, highlights, and Indian brand examples scribbled in the margins, because the frameworks are universal, even when the case studies aren’t. If branding is your craft, this isn’t a recommendation. It’s a requirement. Swipe for the full review → Brand strategy | Designing Brand Identity | Book Review | Branding | Marketing Books

@alinawheeler puts it perfectly: design is intelligence made visible. It redefines intelligence beyond IQ and EQ into form, feeling, and expression. #HeartToHomeRealty #ArizonaRealtor #EastValleyRealEstate #GilbertRealtor #ArizonaRealEstate

TL;DR: I’m back! I took a break to battle some imposter syndrome, refocused my business, and I'm officially shifting away from general digital marketing. My new jam? Visual branding for eco-conscious and sustainable SMEs. I’m using these two legendary books to build the new foundation. Let’s do this. 🚀🌱 Admittedly, I’ve ghosted this feed harder than Patrick Swayze. Safe to say, I’ve been battling a serious case of imposter syndrome. It turns out that voice in your head telling you you’re just a kid from Oxford who can't swing with the big leagues is incredibly loud. But after some serious soul-searching, I did what any good protagonist does: I regrouped, pivoted, and decided to focus entirely on what I’m actually great at, visual design. To be specific, I am officially shifting into the world of visual branding for small businesses and SMEs in the eco-conscious and sustainable spaces. Whenever I’ve worked with entrepreneurs in the past, I always found myself thinking way bigger than just a logo or a single landing page. I don't just want to build you a graphic; I want to help your business align its visual identity with its environmental and societal impact. To borrow a phrase from Doc Brown: we’re thinking 4D here. These two absolute units—Building a Story Brand and Designing Brand Identity—are serving as the foundational building blocks for this new chapter. Think of them as my training montage music. 🎧 Here’s to leveling up, shaking off the self-doubt, and becoming the visual guide for the incredible change-makers who are out here trying to save the planet. With great power, comes great... well, you know the rest. Let’s build something real. P.S. Have you read either of these masterclasses in branding?

As we close out this month of acknowledgment, we celebrate the legacy of women who have led our organization since its inception. The industry once seen as male-dominated has evolved into a landscape more reflective of the 21st-century workforce, with 63% of graphic designers identifying as female in 2026, highlighting ongoing progress and the importance of supporting women in design. While female representation in the workforce has grown, the rate of women in leadership is evolving at a different pace. Female creative directors increased from 3% in 2008 to 29% in 2020, showing positive momentum and the need for continued support to reach organizational leadership goals.  Happy Women's History Month to our past, present, and future leaders in design and beyond.
