    • I'm Clare, a freelance graphic designer working from my backpack as I travel the world. In 2016 I set up Ink & Honey Design Co, an online branding and design studio specialising in hand crafted, bespoke branding for entrepreneurs, creatives and small businesses.

    • It's definitely feeling very Spring-y in London at the moment which has got me all fired up and finding inspiration in fresh, leafy greens, lots of white space (what's new?) and my current favourite colour, orange 🧡 As much as I'm an Autumn girl at heart, I am loving the sunny early mornings at the moment - I downloaded @bethkirby 's guide to a productive morning recently and I'm making a concentrated effort to get up early for a run, meditate for 10 minutes after my shower, and make a proper breakfast before getting a head start on work. I already feel more organized and like I'm getting so much more done through the day. Freelancers and boss babes, any other tips? What do you do to boost productivity in the morning? I'll try anything once!
    • A cute little palm grove icon for a cool and stylish travel blog brand. I almost always end up adding little hand illustrated touches to my brands at some point during the design exploration, it's such a lovely way to add a touch of personality and totally unique twist to a brand's visual identity!
    • Submark exploration for an astrology brand. If I had to pick a favourite part of the branding process I think it would be this - when the visual direction and core logo graphics are nailed down and I get to just play!
    • Taking steps back towards a fully functioning workday, despite jetlag waking me at 5am every morning this week and the memory of warm white sand still vivid in my mind... its coming though. Everything in time. P.s. if you're interested in seeing travel snaps and stories from the Philippines I'm posting those on my travel account, tagged in the post!
    • Guys the out of office is well and truly on and honestly it was so needed. I'm currently in the Philippines and having some time to step away from the daily workload has been SO helpful and refreshing. I've had the time to just sit with some ideas and plans that have been rolling around my brain for a while, to dream up some new ones, and also, crucially, to just lie in the sun and swim in clear turquoise waters and meet new people and explore and drink at lunch time. No-one can run on empty. If you're feeling overwhelmed or swamped, as hard as it is ESPECIALLY when you are your whole business - take care of yourself first. Step away and look in from another angle. Take yourself on an adventure, you deserve it.
