Laikin’s vision

My aim is to help you reach your personal, financial and business goals so you can live well.

Laikin isn’t about hustling or burning the candle at both ends but instead about a more holistic, considered and thoughtful approach to life and business. You bring your vision, goals and story, I’ll find the right way to use strategy and design to move you where you’d like to be.

Every business owner has their own goals and priorities, and our projects will reflect that. Once you get in touch we’ll speak about how we can purposefully use design to reach your unique goals. You’ll then receive a custom proposal that is tailored to you.

‘I’m super happy with how my new website is performing. The goal was to create a site that encouraged more people to inquire about booking my services. The new site has been live for three months now, and I now receive new project inquiries every week through the contact form! I’ve also had lots of compliments on the design.

If you’re looking to work with a strategic, professional studio with brilliant creative vision I’d highly recommend Laikin Studio.’

Design
philosophy

Anything of quality takes time.

Laikin Studio believes in the slow and steady. At the beginning of the project we will outline a timeline together we think will work for the project, at a pace that feels true to what we’re trying to achieve. This can ebb and flow throughout the project, but the goal is to create lasting design to move you forward.

Aesthetics preferences are subjective, good design is not.

Good design solves problems. It’s not simply about aesthetic preferences, but instead how things function. Laikin creates visual design that serves a purpose, the design plays an active role in helping you reach your vision and goals.

Beauty is deep and comes from thoughtful engagement.

Laikin isn’t in the business of producing ‘sameness’ or simply pretty things. By getting to know and engaging with your story, your vision and goals, the studio creates beautiful design that is steeped in meaning and purpose for your brand.

Connection is rooted in the story.

Our need for connection drives so much of what all of us do. Where would we be without it? I want your people to connect with you, and that comes from owning and telling your story. Both you and your people should feel connected and understood through the visual design.
