Thoughtful brands
for thoughtful people.
The best brands come from really understanding what makes a business tick.
The personality, the people, the little nuances and the big ambitions.
Memorable branding is about more than just making something look good. It’s about capturing the things that aren’t always easy to put into words: what makes you different, how you want people to feel and the impression you want to leave behind.
Think of me as your translator. I take all the good stuff you’ve already built and turn it into a visual language that feels just right. Design is really the only other language I’m fluent in… my Year 8 French is très questionable!
Hey! I’m Sofie - brand designer, creative thinker and all-round ideas person.
Sofie Neilsen Design is my creative studio in Ballarat, working with friendly founders and businesses across Australia.
I’m also one of the people behind Present Company, a creative co-working studio here in Ballarat, where I get to work alongside a bunch of clever people doing what they do best.
Branding has always been my favourite part of what I do. There’s something pretty special about helping shape the look and feel of a business, then watching it head out into the world and become real.
Big, serious agency energy has never really been my thing. I take my work seriously, but I don’t think the process needs to feel intimidating. Design should feel collaborative, accessible and fun!
I’ll bring the experience and a slightly obsessive eye for detail, but I’m not here to stamp my style all over your business.
I prioritise your brand, not mine.
Working together, you’ll walk away feeling…

Sharing your business with the world - because now it looks and feels like you.
Clear

Supported
Throughout the process - with guidance, structure and creative expertise.
Excited
