I'm Hannah
Limelight Creative was born out of a love for championing small businesses and helping solo founders thrive through creativity, strategy and storytelling.
In my first job after graduating in fashion & textile design (more years ago now than I care to remember), I discovered I was also pretty good at writing. I soon found myself leaning into the creative side of business marketing to make the most of this unusual skills pairing, and set about working towards my Chartered Institute of Marketing certification.
I've crafted web content on subjects ranging from ethical clothing to surf lessons, in turn, targeting everyone from global wholesalers to British staycationers. I've helped new service providers turn their passions into profit through considered brand and print design, and transformed DIY business branding into strategic visual identities.
Bringing brand stories to life since 2012.
I was lucky enough to grow up in the creative mecca of Cornwall, spending my childhood fashion designing, scrap-booking, and driving my parents up the wall getting paint on my bedroom carpet.
Since then, I've skipped over the border into Devon (mainly just so I can eat my scones cream-first* without getting all the stick).
*Quite the controversy around here!
I get to work with some incredible clients in both Devon and Cornwall, as well as across the UK, Ireland and the United States (US English is almost like a second language to me now). Everything I do is backed up by deep research and exploration (I love this part of the process almost as much as the creating)! My intellectually curious brain means if I don’t know something, I'll learn it.
Working with small businesses across Devon, Cornwall and beyond.
From the outset of my brand redesign, Hannah's creative vision and attention to detail were evident. She really took the time to understand my brand ethos and values, translating these into a visual identity that not only resonates with our target audience but also helps us stand out in a crowded market.
What sets Hannah apart is not just her technical skill, but her ability to listen and collaborate. She was a true partner throughout, receptive to feedback and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure the final product exceeds expectations.
“Hannah has been fantastic to work with.”
Beth Sachs, Effortless Foodie
From the get-go, Hannah understood the vision I had for my new brand and has been an absolute dream to work with. Her way with words is pure magic, and how she's crafted a distinct brand voice and defined the brand's values and mission perfectly.
Her energy, enthusiasm and attention-to-detail have made collaborating on this project a joy, and am over the moon with all her wonderful copy!
Ben Melarickas, Wild Linens
“Hannah brought my vision to life in the most beautiful way.”
She was absolutely brilliant at designing the logo, business cards and swing tags for May Rose. Her creativity to come up with the rose and lily of the valley is just genius. And I love the brand pattern so much, I've had it printed onto fabric to make signature May Rose creations! Hannah is very patient, knowledgable and just an absolute joy to work with.
“Hannah made the whole process feel really easy.”
Stefanie Wolfe, May Rose
Running a business requires being online, engaging with customers through well-thought-out content and design. Hannah offers the whole package. She looks at our audience, creates engaging content, and delivers our message in the best way. This has helped drive traffic in our direction, increase sales and free up more time for us to deliver the experiences we offer.
“Hannah offers the whole package.”
Robin Ross, Freewave Surf Academy
Hannah was brilliant at guiding us through every step of the way, making sure we didn't miss a beat as new business owners. We used Limelight Creative for our business' graphic design, from the logo to our advertising material. We could not have been happier with the final product and will continue to go to Hannah with any future work.
Thank you again, Hannah! You've been amazing.
“Brilliant at guiding us every step of the way.”
Rory Burford, Beyond Fitness & Martial Arts
Hannah was able to understand my vision for the tone of voice and brand story, and bring it to life in a way that feels totally on brand and appeals to both our family audience and our retailers. She listened, was quick, and on point from the start. I've already returned to her for further work.
“Hannah transformed my marketing messaging.”
James Taylor, Doris & Dude
Hannah is my go to designer for any client projects. She also designed my editing business logo and I love it. She absolutely nailed it! I love the colours, and I think highlighting the word 'editing' in yellow highlighter is genius.
She's a dream to work with and a good person to have around for anything design based! Thanks for all your amazing work Hannah.
“A good person to have around...”
