About Me “Design is the silent ambassador of your brand” Paul Rand Welcome Hi, I’m Louise Cranstone-Spooner, a creative professional with a passion for marketing, branding, and design. My journey into creativity began as a child, sketching my favourite cartoon characters and building makeshift skateboards from old worktops and spare wheels. That early curiosity evolved into a career in marketing and graphic design, where I combine strategic thinking with artistic flair to create impactful visuals. As a Marketing Consultant I lead strategic marketing initiatives that drive brand awareness, improve your brand identity and engagement. From digital marketing and content creation to event planning and social media management, I ensure brands connect meaningfully with their audiences. My efforts have contributed to award-winning success, with companies. Both at the unLTD Business Awards and the UK Business Awards , celebrating our innovation and excellence in the industry. Beyond marketing and design, I’m deeply involved in sport. Ice hockey has played a huge role in my life, from refereeing and playing to supporting my local team. More recently, I’ve taken up ball hockey (think ice hockey, but without the skates!), and I’m always looking for new ways to stay active, including hitting the slopes for snowboarding. Bringing together creativity, strategy, and a competitive spirit, I approach every project with energy and a fresh perspective. Let’s collaborate to bring your ideas to life with precision and originality. LinkedIn CV Education and Professional Development I hold a BA Hons in Media Production and a Postgraduate Diploma in Broadcast Journalism. My academic journey continued with a PGCE in Design Technology, followed by an MA in Design Education. In addition to these qualifications, I have completed specialised courses in Marketing, Graphic Design and Adobe Creative Cloud programs to further enhance my technical skills and creative capabilities. I am also a proud member of the Girls in Marketing community and also an Associate member of the Chartered Institute of Marketing, where I stay connected with industry trends and collaborate with like-minded professionals.

About Crafty Penguin Welcome to Crafty Penguin Hi, I’m Louise, the founder of Crafty Penguin, a marketing-led design studio based in the UK. Crafty Penguin was born out of a desire to get back to what I’ve always loved, being creative. After working as a Design Technology Teacher, I wanted a fresh challenge. I retrained in marketing and graphic design, combining my love of drawing with a more strategic, purposeful direction. From childhood days sketching cartoon characters to now designing brand identities and marketing materials for businesses, creativity has always been part of who I am. Crafty Penguin began as a personal project and soon evolved into a business, helping small businesses and purpose-led brands bring their ideas to life. But Crafty Penguin isn’t just about logos and pretty graphics. I believe great design should serve a purpose. That’s why everything I create is backed by strategic thinking.

Let’s build something amazing together. Contact Me Explore my services and see how Crafty Penguin can elevate your brand. If you have any questions or need assistance, feel free to reach out. Design Services Illustration Inspiration Why did I choose my business name? Why Penguins Are Central to Crafty Penguin The Inspiration Behind the Penguin You might wonder why penguins are such a prominent feature in my business. The answer lies in a cherished childhood memory: I used to go ice skating with my dad, and the local skating club’s mascot was a penguin. This early connection sparked a lifelong love for these charming creatures, and I discovered that I had a knack for drawing them! The Birth of Crafty Penguin When I first conceptualised my business, I created an illustrated penguin character, who became known as 'Crafty Penguin.' The character's personality was both crafty and penguin-like, making it the perfect fit for my brand name. Evolving and Growing Since the creation of my initial penguin character, Crafty Penguin has continually evolved. I am dedicated to learning new skills and expanding my expertise to enhance my services and provide better opportunities for both my clients and myself. Explore how Crafty Penguin can bring creativity and innovation to your projects, guided by a love for penguins and a commitment to growth.

Professional logo design services for non-profits. Explore impactful designs tailored for your organisation. Contact Crafty Penguin today! Case Study: Sunnyside Soup Kitchen Logo Design for a Non-Profit Organisation Project Logo Design and Brand Visual Development for Sunnyside Soup Kitchen Client & Brief I had the opportunity to create a professional logo design for Sunnyside Soup Kitchen, a non-profit organisation based in South Africa focused on supporting people facing hunger and homelessness. The charity had previously been using a temporary logo created in Canva but wanted a more polished and distinctive visual identity for use across their website and communications. The aim was to develop a logo that felt welcoming, meaningful, and representative of the organisation’s mission and values. As a freelance marketing consultant and designer, I managed the design process personally, ensuring the final logo balanced professionalism with warmth and community-focused storytelling. The Challenge This project required a logo that would: Reflect the charity’s compassionate and community-driven mission Create a more professional identity than the temporary existing logo Maintain consistency with the charity’s pre-selected colour palette and typography Feel approachable, supportive, and visually welcoming Work effectively across both digital and print applications. The challenge was creating a logo that balanced simplicity and professionalism while still communicating care, support, and human connection. Strategy My approach focused on combining thoughtful symbolism with clean, professional branding design: Purpose-led design: I explored imagery connected to care, support, and nourishment to visually communicate the charity’s mission. Consistency with existing branding: The organisation had already selected a green colour palette and font style which were important to retain for continuity across their website and communications. Symbolic storytelling: The concept evolved from a simple hand and bowl into two supporting hands holding a bowl, representing community, compassion, and collective support. Warm and approachable visuals: Additional colour and shading were introduced to give the logo more depth and personality while maintaining a clean and professional finish. Managing the project myself allowed me to keep the visual direction aligned with the organisation’s goals while ensuring the final identity felt authentic and meaningful. Execution Designed the logo using Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop. Developed multiple concept sketches and refinements throughout the design process. Created scalable vector artwork suitable for both digital and printed applications. Applied colour, shading, and refinement techniques to enhance warmth and visual depth. Produced presentation mock-ups to demonstrate how the branding would appear across different materials. Deliverables included: Professional logo design Vector artwork for scalable use Branding mock-ups for digital and print applications Visual identity suitable for website and promotional materials Outcome The final logo provided Sunnyside Soup Kitchen with a more professional and cohesive visual identity that better reflected the organisation’s mission and values. The project demonstrated how thoughtful branding can help non-profit organisations communicate trust, compassion, and professionalism while strengthening their overall presence. The client’s feedback highlighted the emotional impact of the project and the importance of design in supporting charitable work internationally. Takeaways Strong branding helps charities communicate their mission more effectively. Symbolic design elements can create stronger emotional connections with audiences. Maintaining consistency with existing brand elements can support smoother brand development. Thoughtful logo design can help smaller organisations appear more professional and credible. Tools Used: Adobe Illustrator – vector logo design and scalable artwork creation Adobe Photoshop – colour refinement, shading, and presentation mock-ups Looking for a freelance marketing and design partner who can help bring your brand, organisation, or charity to life through thoughtful and purposeful design? I’d love to help. “Thank you for caring about a cause 13,115 km away. Thank you for the beautiful and thoughtful logo you designed for our organisation and thank you for your service to help us fight against hunger and homelessness. Because of you our organisation will be well represented and our mission furthered. You made a difference today!.” About Me Projects Next Project

Graphic Design project to create a logo for MK Theatricals a theatre group based in Sheffield. The logo features in the theatre groups branding to promote their events and recruitment. Case Study: MK Theatricals Logo and DVD Cover Design Project Brand Identity and Promotional Visuals for Local Theatre Company Client & Brief MK Theatricals is a local theatre group passionate about live performance, drama and storytelling. They approached me as a freelance marketing consultant and designer to create: A distinctive logo that captured the spirit of their company A DVD cover design for one of their productions (Beauty and the Beast) using provided visual assets The intention was to give the brand a memorable identity and cohesive promotional material that reflected the group’s personality and creative energy. The Challenge This project required a solution that would: Visually embody the essence of theatre - passion, drama, performance Be versatile enough for branding, digital use and print Stand out while fitting the identity of a community‑centred performance group The challenge was translating theatre inspired emotion into clear, engaging visual design that could be used across different formats without losing impact. Strategy My freelance approach blended creative thinking with strategic purpose: Audience and brand alignment: Designed a logo rooted in traditional theatrical elements to resonate with the group’s audience and reflect their artistic heritage. Colour psychology: Bold use of red, a colour associated with energy, passion and drama, to make the brand instantly recognisable. Print and digital readiness: Created scalable vector artwork that works equally well on screens, merchandise and printed materials. Narrative consistency: Ensured the DVD cover design flowed from the existing visual assets and matched the tone of the production. Managing the design strategy and execution personally as a freelancer meant the project stayed cohesive and aligned with the client’s vision from start to finish. Execution Designed the logo in Adobe Illustrator for precision and scalability. Used Adobe Photoshop to refine visual elements and prepare print‑ready files. Created mobile mock‑ups and graphics to show how the logo would appear in digital use. Designed the DVD cover layout, integrating the production’s images and story synopsis and choosing fonts and colours that complemented the existing design. Deliverables included: A bespoke, theatre‑inspired logo that reflects the brand’s personality. A fully designed DVD cover for Beauty and the Beast that balanced imagery, colour and content. Mock‑ups to show digital and practical applications of the visual identity. Outcome The finished logo gave MK Theatricals a dynamic and recognisable identity that matched their creative ambitions, while the DVD cover design provided a polished promotional piece for their production. The bold design choices helped convey the energy and excitement of theatre to both cast members and audiences. “Thank you to Louise at Crafty Penguin for the beautiful DVD cover design work, its absolutely stunning, and also for doing previous design work for us, including the creation of our very own theatre company logo.” Takeaways Thoughtful brand identity design strengthens audience connection. As a freelancer, handling both strategy and execution ensures visual consistency and purpose. Even traditional art forms like theatre benefit from modern, adaptable brand visuals. Tools Used: Adobe Illustrator - primary logo design and vector work Adobe Photoshop - refining and finalising imagery Looking for a freelance marketing and design partner who will personally take your brand identity from strategy to execution?
