Mary McCarthy Design

"Having worked with Mary on a number of projects now, I can highly recommend speaking to her if you need graphic design support! It’s always a pleasure to work with Mary, she translates our ideas into a beautiful depiction, managing to create visual representation of our thoughts perfectly. Happy to continue working with you Mary!"

"Mary has supported us on a number of design projects now and she is always an absolute pleasure to work with. She understands our brand identity perfectly, and transforms our content into something beautiful. She always goes the extra mile to make sure that we have everything that we need, and takes the time to answer our questions and offer her guidance. Would recommend her to anyone. Thank you Mary!"

"Mary is the best graphic designer I have ever worked with. She turned my thoughts, ideas and dreams into a completed logo, brand colours and images that really work for my website. Her no-nonsense approach to using streamline fonts was just what I needed. The logo is beautiful, and I know I will continue to use it for years to come."

"When you find someone who has the skills to dive deep into understanding the essence and personality of you, your dreams and your business, you hold on tight to them. Mary is such a person. She is able to feel her way into transforming what is in your heart into beautiful imagery. The branding Mary created for Dancing Light is a blend of me and the services I offer, and is in total alignment with the core values I wish to communicate to the kinds of like-minded clients I wish to attract. My branding is timeless, beautiful and professional. Mary is a rare find in a market crammed with so-called branding specialists"

"I've worked with Mary on three separate digital art commissions. I am happy to say that for each, the final image(s) exceeded my expectations. By taking time to understand the motivation behind each visualisation she is able to tap into what is driving the image sought and thereby use her creative dynamism to its full potential. Mary's collaborative approach ensured that as the images evolved from their original concept they remained personal, but at a level of detail and imagery that was far beyond their starting point. Her knowledge of typeface is superb and by bringing humour, compassion and empathy to the works she was able to add touches unique for me and for the recipients of her work. The finished artworks always bring a smile and a sense of happiness whenever I see them – in essence the purpose of the images in their simplest expression.”

"I had the pleasure of working with Mary on a commercial development project, bringing a brand new co-working space to life. Mary was able to share my vision for the new business immediately, producing a design concept that underpinned the whole project. Her support was consistent reliable and unwavering and always delivered with a smile. I would recommend Mary to anyone who wants to work with a true collaborator on any graphic design or branding project."

"Many years ago Mary created my first ever logo when I started my yoga business and when I recently decided to relaunch there was no doubt in my mind who I wanted to redesign my logo and branding. Mary’s knowledge, expertise and understanding are second to none. I highly recommend her and her work. She is utterly professional, organised and simply wonderful to work with."

"I thought I knew what I wanted but with Mary's expertise and gentle persuasion I now have something SO much better! I am thrilled with my branding and I'm handing out my business cards with such pride. Thank you Mary."

"Mary worked with me over a number of years including a re-branding project and putting our marketing on a more professional level with a constructive approach creating continuity of our brand across the various marketing platforms we use. Her creative flair and ability to grasp the essence of our business, along with her attention to detail produced material of the highest quality which really helped to grow our brand. She was always a pleasure to work with, warm, friendly, enthusiastic, and always willing to go the extra mile to help us meet our deadlines. I would highly recommend her and her work."

"Mary did an amazing job at creating a brand that totally reflects my vision and values and I couldn’t be happier with the end result. She was with me from the very start of my rebrand, helping me to get creative and think outside the box when choosing a name. Mary’s passion and knowledge of the wellness industry left me feeling totally relaxed and confident she would deliver... and that she did! Thanks again for our the fresh new look, I love it."

"Mary was recommended to us from an Art Director I used to work with at Elle and Tatler.
He said she was the best and he was right. We have two companies and we asked Mary to design logos for both of them. Mary listened and understood both concepts (each very different from the other). She produced a choice of superb designs for us to choose from. We were able to modify them if we so wished, but they were compelling on delivery. We have a lot to be thankful to Mary for. She gave us two strong, yet fresh identities for us to build our brands.Thank you Mary."

"Having worked with Mary for a number of years, I have first-hand experience of her imagination, creativity and execution which I have found to be exceptional. She is a gifted creative who also understands the limitation of budgets, successful client management and interpreting briefs - no matter how sketchy! She is well-versed in many of the Adobe Creative Suite tools and programs and also worked remotely very successfully using company VPN access. She is extremely hard-working, very conscientious, motivated and an extremely warm and friendly individual and also possesses that rare quality in Creatives - attention to detail. I have thoroughly enjoyed working with her and would have no hesitation in recommending her."

"Mary is a true delight to work with. Attentive, discerning and unafraid to challenge the status quo. She has a keen eye for detail and will always go the extra mile to delight her clients. She was intrinsic in the branding process of our nano distillery and product launch of our signature gin Jitterbug. Speakeasy Spirits UK will be forever grateful to her."

"Mary provided us with guidance and advice when it came to designing our company logo for virtual-realities ltd. We provided her with an initial brief that included our company culture and design thoughts. Her passion and expertise translated our thoughts in to a shortlist of superb designs, which were then swiftly executed in to a finished logo. This logo will now spearhead our company and brand. Thank you once again Mary for the superb work.
I would have no hesitation in working with you again in the future."

"Mary was a delight to work with and always provided great output at a reasonable cost and on time. Mary understands the importance of the Canon brand and the policies and rules that go with it which makes my life a lot easier. Mary also shows her creative flair in coming up with new ideas that make a difference. Lastly, but by no means least, Mary is a very nice person - attentive and flexible resulting in an easy working relationship."

"Mary is vibrant and creative and a pleasure to work with. Highly recommended."

"Working with Mary is pure joy, she is an intuitive creative who knows exactly what I need. If you are lucky enough to find this woman look no further. She is the one. You will love every moment of your journey with her.”

"When I wanted branding for my Reiki and Breathwork business that reflected the essence of me, there was only one person to turn too. Mary has a remarkable gift for bringing ideas to life. She captured all the nuances I wanted into a logo that I love - one that perfectly represents the alternative healing services I offer."

"Since branding my business, Mary has helped me on several projects now, She has an amazing eye for colours and designs and was able to help me find images that matched my companies personality and were unique to me. Mary has also been able to conceptualise exactly what I had envisaged for the company even though my industry was so new to her.”

“Through Mary’s help and amazing guidance I feel that she really bought my company to life with her amazing designs. She has a fantastic insight for knowing just what’s required. After discussing my ideas and company aspirations with Mary, she designed not only a wonderful logo but also an elegant website that really represented my company and it’s ethics and flow. I look forward to working with her again to design an online shop and retreat information.“
