We help purpose-driven founders build meaningful brands.

Hillside is a brand studio for businesses building with purpose. Whether you’re a start-up or an existing company, if you care about how your business shows up in the world, and why, we’d love to work with you.

Who we serve

People no longer simply buy products or services anymore. They buy into worlds, identities and a sense of belonging. Most brands don’t fail because of their offer. They fail because their brand lacks meaning. At Hillside Studio, this is where we begin. We get clear. Clear on who you exist for, what you stand for and why you started in the first place. Once we have clarity in the core of the brand, every design choice then resonates and connects with your audience.

What we do
We Define Brand Strategy

Your brand should guide your decisions, not confuse them. We help you articulate your purpose, values, positioning and audience so every design choice becomes objective and clear.

We Design Brand Identities

Your visual identity isn’t decoration, it’s a functional system that conveys meaning. From logo to palette, typography to tone, each element is crafted to reflect who you are and resonate with your consumer.

We Deliver Ongoing Brand Support

For founders who want consistent brand output as they grow. Making brand rollout simple, and easy. Menu’s, socials, adverts, you name it!

And Set-Up Websites for Start-ups

For startups needing a home on the web, we design Squarespace sites built around your brand strategy, ready to launch.

Who we are
Hillside Studio was born from a belief: that great brands are born from purpose, not trends. Founded by Sophie Booth, the studio brings nearly a decade of professional experience, from global campaigns to startups, into every client collaboration.
We help founders crystallise what makes them remarkable, then shape that into a visual brand identity thats connects with your audience.

We’ve built brands for clients who are; breaking the stigma around menopause, turning waste into renewable energy, roasting sustainable coffee off-grid, building balance into the hospitality industry & empowering young athletes to succeed in life beyond sport.

Next Steps

If you’re starting something new, or looking to refresh an existing brand, let’s talk.

You may have an entire vision you need bringing to life and that’s epic, or you may not know where to even start. Most of the founders we work with don’t arrive with a perfect brief. They arrive with ideas, instincts, or a sense that something isn’t quite clicking yet. It’s our job to discover how we fix that together.

The next step is a simple conversation, so we can work out what works for you, and what’s required. We’d love to hear about you and your project!
