Designed by Ludo is a brand identity studio for mission-led organisations that have something meaningful to say but need help saying it clearly.
I combine positioning and visual design to shape brands that feel coherent, credible, and built to hold.
Most organisations don’t need more noise. They need a brand that helps people quickly understand what they do, why it matters, and why they should care. I work with teams whose work is strong, but whose message still needs sharpening.
When clarity matters most
You’re raising funds
Your work is solid. Your brand doesn’t yet communicate that clearly.
You’re shifting direction
The organisation has changed. The brand hasn’t.
You’re launching something new
You need people to understand it quickly and take it seriously.
From our brief as a community funding body with a history in Peckham, Ludo understood the requirements and produced several inspiring designs that reflected the work we do. The final design gives the Peckham Settlement a fresh and contemporary brand, that will attract more organisations in Peckham and Nunhead to notice our work and apply for funding. Her professionalism and welcoming personality was appreciated, as the brief was a tall order.

Why Working Together
When we work together, I focus on making the right decisions visible: what matters, what doesn’t, and what should be kept simple.Clarity
I remove what gets in the way of understanding.
Rigour
Every choice has a reason.
Responsibility
I treat your brand as something that shapes how people see and trust your work.
Integrity
The brand should say the truth, not just the nice version.
I help purpose-driven teams make complex work easier to understand, trust, and remember.

Ludo and I have been working together for 5 years now and she has helped me transform Monty as an organisation. She initially refreshed my brand to give it more impact for my target audience and made it look more modern and relevant. She created a fantastic, usable and visually appealing website that has really helped push my business forward. It's functional, well-designed and gives students the possibility to buy a number of products online. It's easy and always productive working with her. She has some great ideas and is always competent and professional. I would recommend her to any business looking to improve their image or have a better online presence.
