Book an enquiry callA thoughtful brand identity should feel like home. You know that feeling when you get home, put your feet up and think ‘this is where I’m meant to be’? That’s what your brand should feel like to your customers.
We work with people and businesses that are building things that matter. Things that matter to them, that matter to the world, and that matter to others, and we are passionate about supporting them.
ServicesWe will take a deep dive into exactly what it is you want to achieve with your brand, what your core values and big vision is, and how we can help. Working closely with you to guide you through the process of uncovering what it is that makes you special and harnessing this to create a brand identity with substance. Our work is rooted in research and strategy, creating meaning behind every design decision. Together we really take the time to understand your business and what you need to reveal your 'vision beyond the visuals.’ Uncovering this is where the real magic lies, and is where we can create beautiful brands that feel like home. After all, there’s no place like it. 👠
Having an idea at the core
Everything has its place and is there for a reason. Whilst beautiful design is important, it also needs to be functional and have reason for being the way it is that is beyond purely aesthetics. Sometimes this meaning can be subtly woven into the concept in a way that is not immediately apparent, but it’s there.
Caring about the process as well as the end result
This is such an important (and non-negotiable) part of the design process. We work alongside people who have businesses that we genuinely believe in. When you are passionate about what you do, we are too and will put everything into delivering you the best result.
Being brave enough to be bold, different and stand out
We don’t believe in following trends just for the sake of it, so through thoughtful design, we hope to help create brands that stand-out and grab people’s attention for the right reasons. This doesn’t mean your brand has to be the loudest in the room, or even bold in its aesthetic, but it can stand out and have real meaning and impact without always shouting from the rooftops.
When it just feels right
‘Home’ is the feeling when you know something looks and feels right for your brand and you don’t necessarily know why, it just does. It is a combination of all of the tangible elements such as: colour, type, style and shape that all work in synergy to create just the right feeling for your brand - that gut reaction that somebody has just ‘got it.’
There’s a lot that needs to change about the world right now, and we genuinely believe that people have the power to make a difference. Working with individuals who are building businesses that are paving the way for a better future and seeing those big ideas out there doing good is the driving force behind the work we do.
Hi, I’m Maddy, I’m the founder of Paiv Creative. I am based in Norwich but work with businesses all across the UK and Europe. I specialise in brand identity design and am really passionate about translating someone’s business vision into reality and helping them achieve success. I’m also a big advocate of ‘shopping local’, there are so many benefits to supporting independent businesses, and design is no different.
There are a lot of designers out there to choose from and I get it, it can be overwhelming. My approach is that through listening, learning and doing, we can work collaboratively to uncover what it is that makes you special and translate this into a brand identity that feels like home. Although I am the main person steering the ship, Paiv Creative is definitely a 'we' not 'me' business. I regularly collaborate with marketers, copywriters, animators, web developers and a whole host of other creative people to bring brands to life and help them to feel just right.

You don’t have to be single-handedly saving the world, just doing your bit to contribute towards something positive for people and the planet.
We’ve worked with a whole host of businesses along the way. From educating employees at one of the world’s leading brands about domestic abuse during lockdown, to the UK's first benefits programme for self-employed women, or a pilates studio helping people to stay healthy and get more in touch and aligned with their bodies. Great design can help pave the way for success on so many levels.
