Design that supports your business, not your to-do list
about rubie jo creative
I'm Rubie Jo, a brand and graphic designer in Derby helping business owners build brands that feel as good as they look. I specialise in brand identity, packaging and marketing design, including print and digital. Working with established businesses and ambitious newcomers who've outgrown DIY branding or need their design and marketing to finally match the quality of their work.
I work with clients locally in Derby, across the UK and internationally. Thanks to the internet, it's easy for us to collaborate from wherever you call home (yay!).
What I do
I often get told I take the words from your mind and make it come to life even better than imagined (which is honestly why I love my job so much, nothing makes me happier than helping you feel confident in your brand and design). I care about you and your business, and I design in a way that supports your goals and connects with your audience.
I work 1:1 with you on everything and I'm just as comfortable being your only designer, as I am collaborating with your wider team when needed.
I pride myself on being a kind creative who makes design feel easier for you, with communication that's simple and honest.
Why choose Rubie Jo Creative?
CELEBRATING INDIVIDUALITY
No two businesses are the same, and your visuals shouldn’t be either. Every detail is thoughtfully designed to bring your vision and brand story to life, creating one-of-a-kind designs that connect with your audience and grow with your business.
SUPPORTING YOU
I started Rubie Jo Creative to help my clients through design. It’s as simple as that. I’m here to make sure you get the support you need, whatever phase of business you’re in. My aim is to help you feel understood, confident, and connected to your business.
MY NICHE IS YOU
I design with the people behind the brand, no matter the industry. By working with only a few clients at a time, you’ll never feel like just another task on a to-do list or be left in the dark. Our partnership is built on trust, care, and creating design that’s right for your business and your audience.
You have questions, I have answers
A few things that might be on your mind…
-
I'm based in Derby, UK, and I work with clients locally, across the UK and internationally. Most of my projects are fully remote with flexible, digital communication, from feedback to file delivery. If you're nearby or halfway across the world, we'll make it work around your schedule.
-
I help business grow a trusted brand online and in real life moments through brand identity design, rebrand, marketing materials, social media content creation, packaging design, website design, and ongoing design support through retainers.
-
Absolutely. I work 1:1 with you throughout every project, and I'm just as comfortable being your sole designer as I am fitting in seamlessly with your existing team, agency or other partners. I also offer white label design services for agencies, social media agencies and marketing agencies who need extra support.
-
No. I've worked across all types of businesses, from product brands and e-commerce to service providers and established companies. The variety keeps my work fresh and means I bring experience from different industries to every project.
-
I don't offer logo-only services because a logo on its own won't give you the impact you're after. I offer brand identity packages aligned to your business goals. From the core foundations to detailed brand systems with all the marketing materials you might need. Get in touch here to see what your package could look like.
-
Every project is different, and the level of work needed depends on your business, your goals, and what you already have in place.
For example, a one-person brand starting from scratch will need something different to an established business with existing assets, a team, or multiple touchpoints. The time, thinking, and scope can vary depending on the kind of support you’re looking for.
‘From’ pricing gives you a clear starting point, while allowing me to tailor the work to suit your specific needs. I offer different ways of working, including branding packages, one-off projects, design days, and monthly retainers.
After learning more about your business through the enquiry form and on our connection call, I’ll provide clear, transparent pricing in the proposal so you know exactly what to expect.
-
Simply fill out the enquiry form here and tell me a bit about what you’re looking for.
From there, we’ll arrange a relaxed call to talk through your business, your goals, and the kind of support you need. It’s a chance for us to get to know each other and see if we’re a good fit to work together.
After the call, I’ll recommend the best next steps and provide clear, transparent pricing, timelines and processes.
