Helping businesses become recognised, trusted and remembered.
Chapter One
When your business outgrows its brand
Your business has evolved. Your brand hasn't.
The logo that once felt right no longer represents who you are. Your website doesn't reflect the quality of your work. And the business you've become is harder to explain than it should be.
When your brand no longer matches your ambition, it can quietly hold your business back.
You don't need convincing that branding matters.
You need a trusted partner to help your business look as successful as you've worked hard to become.

There's always a
way to work together.

Chapter Four
Hi, I'm Kirsty
After more than 25 years in design, I started Make The Story to help independent businesses uncover what makes them different, and bring it to life with clarity and confidence.
I work with founders who are brilliant at what they do, but feel their brand no longer reflects the quality of their work. From logo and website through to the social templates and marketing materials that carry it day to day, everything stays consistent and true to who you are.
