We’re a branding studio so we’re all about upleveling your brand in many different forms ~ including graphic design, logo design, brand design, packaging design website design, brand strategy and social media strategy/management.
Who do we do it for?
We collab mostly with darkly-inclined small businesses who are ready to translate and elevate their brand to higher levels. Artisans, healers, crafters ~ we often work with those in the spaces of beauty, wellness, apothecary and lifestyle who create a range of beautiful products such as candles, makeup, potions and elixirs, incense, jewelry, soaps, skincare, clothing, homewares, oddities and so much more!
Why do we do it?
Because we love it! But also because we just adore seeing and helping other weirdos and misfits take over the world. From being told in university that we’d never make it unless our style changed, we’re passionate about helping other alternative people bring their biz dreams to life.

Disney obsessed, admirer of nature, lover of the dark, unusual and all things magical.
Kirra is our intuitive social media and brand strategy sorceress, blending strategy with energy work to craft powerful, aligned solutions for each brand she touches. With a deep understanding of the unique energetic signatures of businesses, Kirra tailors her strategies to ensure they resonate on both practical and energetic levels. Her approach isn’t just about growth—it’s about creating strategies that brands love to implement, finding joy in the process rather than just going through the motions.

She devotes much of her time to studying the art of energetics, trauma healing, subconscious reprogramming, somatic work, and manifestation, integrating these practices into both her life and her work.
