Hi, I’m Edward Heffer — a freelance graphic designer with 15+ years’ experience in branding, identity, and photography. I work with business-to-business companies and creative agencies to deliver clean, effective design that helps brands communicate clearly and look their best. Easy to work with, reliable, and here when you need a hand (or paw!).

Branding

Building Brands That Last

Creating a new brand is about more than a logo — it’s about telling a story, defining a personality, and shaping how people experience a business. I help companies and entrepreneurs bring fresh ideas to life with memorable branding that stands out in crowded markets. From initial concept to full visual identity, I focus on crafting brands that feel authentic, strategic, and ready to grow.

Identity Design That Works Everywhere

For existing brands, consistency is key. I specialise in designing cohesive brand systems and style guides that make it easy to maintain a strong identity across every touchpoint. From colour palettes and typography to iconography and digital assets, I ensure your brand looks sharp and behaves consistently. A well-designed brand system helps teams stay aligned and leaves a lasting impression on customers.

Photography

Visual Stories for a Digital World

Sorry, I can't see or interpret this image.

Photography is a vital part of any modern brand. I create images that capture personality, style, and context, helping businesses and individuals tell their story in a visually compelling way. Whether it’s personal branding, digital campaigns, or lifestyle shoots, I focus on creating photos that feel authentic, on-brand, and adaptable across all platforms. Photography is about capturing the right moment and using it to enhance a brand’s identity in a world where visual communication rules.

Your Go-To Designer for Brands That Want More

Work together

Hi, I’m Edward Heffer, a freelance graphic designer and the founder of Heffers Studio, located in Bath, UK. For more than 15 years, I’ve been helping brands express who they are through thoughtful design, strong visual identity, and meaningful creative direction. My work blends strategy and creativity, shaped by a long-standing passion for design, branding, and photography.

I work closely with business-to-business (B2B) companies, creating design solutions that strengthen brand presence, support sales and marketing goals, and build trust with customers. I understand the needs and pace of growing businesses, clear communication, reliable delivery, and work that genuinely moves a brand forward.

Alongside my direct client work, I also collaborate with creative agencies, stepping in to support design teams with flexible, dependable, high-quality creative output. Whether it’s a full brand identity, campaign visuals, or ongoing graphic design support, I bring consistency, clarity, and a commitment to producing work that feels considered and crafted.

At Heffers Studio, everything starts with listening, understanding your story, your audience, and what makes your brand unique, so we can create design that works in the real world, not just on a screen.

If you're looking for a designer who is hands-on, easy to work with, and dedicated to delivering strong visual results, I’d love to hear from you.
