Sem Design Co

Amanda has an incredible design eye and goes deep to understand the brand you're trying to build and bring that to life visually. She set the stage for my brand, and when I ran into trouble with other designers, she fixed other work immediately too. She's my new design go-to!

Working with Amanda from Sem Design Co was the best decision and investment I've made in the 4 years I've been in business, no questions asked! Her portfolio drew me in instantly and I knew I wanted to work with her. I had loosely tried to DIY my branding but I wanted more; I was ready to elevate my brand and truly have a cohesive identity that I was proud of and confident in. As a fellow creative, it can be a bit scary to hand the reigns over to someone else. But I didn't have an ounce of hesitation in working with Amanda and what she created was nothing short of perfection. I selected her custom brand package and the process was fun, seamless, efficient, and elevated. The project took only a few weeks and I truly was so sad when the project was over! Amanda is an absolute creative genius and professional, and I had to pick my jaw up off the floor each step of the way! Everything was executed with precision, attention to detail, and intentionality. And it's always a plus when you get to work with a fellow creative that has the same values as you. I love how Amanda took even the smallest of details from the project questionnaire or the inspiration I pulled to create a brand that is beyond anything I could have imagined. One of my favorite things is the custom icon she created that blends my initials with my love for the outdoors and various places I've lived/visited, all while tying it back to my brand & ICA values. That is one of the many things that sets Amanda apart from other designers. She elevated that even more by turning the icon into a custom brand pattern that I can't stop looking at (and may even get printed on fabric for pillows in my office!). If you're looking to elevate your brand, I cannot recommend Amanda and Sem Design Co enough! I'm going to be working with her again later this year on a sub-brand for a course I offer and I cannot wait to see her talents in action again! THANK YOU AMANDA!! You truly outdid yourself and I cannot thank you enough for the beauty and confidence you've instilled on my brand and business.

From the very beginning, Amanda took the time to understand my vision, my values, and the essence of my brand. It felt like a very premium yet also fun experience. Upon opening my new brand design document, I couldn’t stop smiling with excitement - it was clear she went above and beyond. The attention to detail Amanda demonstrated was nothing short of astounding. Every colour, every font, every element was carefully chosen to convey the message I wanted to send to my customers. My favourite aspects were the lioness icon, the abstract jungle-inspired pattern, and the earthy nature-inspired colour palette. I wholeheartedly recommend Sem Design Co to anyone seeking to elevate their brand to the next level. Thanks a million Amanda!

Working with Amanda on creating some new branding for my photography business was one of the best investments I have ever made! I did a two week branding intensive with her and the entire process was streamlined, efficient, and really fun! The questionnaires were really helpful to help me identify and develop my brand identity, brand values, and narrow down my ideal client. I went from feeling a bit lost as a business owner to feeling very confident in the clients I wanted to attract and the way I wanted to represent my business. The actual logo and design that Amanda created had my jaw on the floor when she first revealed it to me. It was nothing I could have ever created myself and truly captured my business perfectly. She created a unique and personalized logo mark utilizing my initials that was inspired by nature and also represents the caring and empathetic experience I bring to my clients. She truly nailed it! She did a great job of reminding me to look at my branding through my clients perspective and helped me remain confident in my overall decision making (usually I can be an overthinker and quite indecisive when it comes to things like design!) I cannot wait to implement my branding everywhere -- I really think it is going to help me and my business grow tremendously! Thank you thank you thank you, Amanda!

The second I saw Amanda's portfolio, I knew I needed her to help me refresh my branding for my photography business. Her signature style (classic yet fresh, simple yet unique and intentional) really aligned with my vision, and as someone with a design background myself, I immediately recognized how talented she is. I ended up going with her brand intensive package + a semi custom website design add on. Throughout the 3 weeks of us working together I was incredibly impressed every step of the way. Amanda was professional, communicative, encouraged constructive feedback, and put together beautiful and thorough creative direction and design presentations. By the end of the process my brand had an absolutely stunning and intentional new look that was beyond my expectations. As a business owner it can be a little scary to put your brand into the hands of others, but rest assured, it's safe with Amanda. I could gush for days, but long story short, just hire her! She's the best of the best.
