Hello. I'm Louiza Cookson-Rabouhi - a freelance designer offering brand and marketing consultancy for both new and established businesses in Lancashire, Cumbria and across the UK.

I specialise in working with clients in lifestyle sectors including food and drink, hospitality and leisure, health and beauty, wellness and the arts.

My services include logo design and the creation of brand assets, including the design of websites, brochures, advertisements, packaging and other marketing materials. I also provide illustration, photography and interior design consultancy for some of my client projects.

I advise on marketing strategy and work with a number of trusted specialists that I can bring into a project when needed - from videographers and website developers to digital advertising and public relations consultants.

Client projects I have recently undertaken include NEXT! Foods, Kendamil, Journey Social, Goburrito, Ludas Dance, Red Bank Coffee, Method, Arial Festival, Alamelu Yoga, Lancaster Arts, Lancaster Town Hall, The Storey, Digital Lancashire, Women in Tech, Lancaster City Council, Founded Wellness, Cumbria Tourism, Bliink, the Hand-Pulled Pub Company, Holistic Herbology, Equis Ice Cream and Lancaster University.

My story

Before starting my own studio I worked as Creative Director at an agency specialising in hospitality. I also worked at the award-winning digital agency Fat Media in Lancaster.

I attended University of the Arts London, studying media and communications, and later photography and styling. After graduation I worked in London before heading North.

I was born and raised in the North East. My Dad is Algerian and my Mam is a Geordie. When growing up our home was always full of flavoursome food, Arabic art and colourful language.

My passions include design (naturally), music (I play guitar and autoharp) and 35mm photography (with my beloved Canon A1).

I live in Lancaster with my husband Guy and our children - Oscar, Mateo and Mimi.

I'm a member of Digital Lancashire, a founder of Women In Tech, and a chapter host of Ladies, Wine & Design.

How I work

I'm passionate about delivering outstanding work that achieves a superb return on investment. I can work on a short-term project or on a longer-term retainer basis.

I'm especially proud of the creative processes I've refined over the years which help me get the best results for my clients. I believe in honest communication, mutual trust and close collaboration.
