Our Story...
Lucy AR Designs was born in 2016.
After studying Fashion Brand Management at university, completing 2 internships, and starting my career as a Brand Manager at Oh Polly, I realised that graphic design and branding made me very happy. Creating artwork and visuals never felt like work...
Whilst working on my business, I also had my written work published for The Fashion & Design Club, owned a direct sales and marketing business, became the Marketing Manager for Index Property Information, and landed as the Marketing Manager for Indigo Awnings, then more recently became the Brand Manager for an incredible company called Leap76.
All of these experiences have only increased my passion for promotion. I love creating beautiful aesthetics, analysing statistics to understand what works and constantly learning about the ever changing world of marketing.
I married Andrew in 2022, and he was growing his own DJ social media presence. His dedication to his passion was incredible. Then we had our little girl in November 2023, and the stars aligned. Within 9 months we were both freelance, working for ourselves to give her the best life and LAR Creative studios was born! Andrew's first hand experience of social growth, his passion for video editing and my years of experience make us the perfect team for your business!
Offering branding, SMM and website design to other businesses allows us to live our dream whilst helping others realise their own.
It's a beautiful thing when a career and a passion come together ...

A note from Lucy
I’m a good person. And that’s something I’m very proud to say. I work on myself daily. My attitude, my reactions, my thoughts, my approach, my work ethic, my mind set; all of it! I always strive to be a better human than the day before. I will always try to give you the best experience. I know it's scary starting a business, I know how tiring it is working on your business alongside a full-time job, but we want to help!
helpful
Helping others is at the heart of everything we do, both professionally and personally. Andrew and I share a deep commitment to being solution-oriented, and it’s one of the reasons we connected so strongly. We’ve made it our number one value to ensure that every interaction is driven by a genuine desire to help, whether it’s starting a business, improving it, or helping it grow.
efficient
Efficiency is ingrained in me, whether it’s a product of my naturally fast-paced mind or a touch of undiagnosed ADHD. I’m always driven to find the quickest, yet most effective, way of doing things. While I work incredibly fast, I never compromise on quality or value. Efficiency is my way of ensuring that clients get the best results in the shortest time possible.
aspiring
Over the years, I’ve worked with more than 300 clients, and I’ve noticed a pattern: by the end of our collaboration, they leave with renewed confidence and motivation to take the next steps in their business journey. Whether it’s through the inspiration provided by a new brand or the clarity gained from our work together, our goal is to create outcomes that are truly aspirational.
reliable
Reliability is the cornerstone of our service. We understand our clients' needs, and we approach every project with professionalism and dedication. You can count on us to offer sound advice, provide honest recommendations, and always follow through on our commitments. We’ll never let you down.
trust
When Andrew described Lucy AR Designs, the first word he used was “trust.” That resonated deeply with me because it’s true: we’ve built our business on forming trusting relationships with our clients. With a career spanning marketing, brand management, and business development, we bring a wealth of knowledge and experience that our clients can trust and rely on.
valuable
I can’t tell you how often I’ve been frustrated by the exorbitant prices some companies charge small businesses for branding work. While we believe in knowing our worth, we also believe in being honest and fair. We’re not the garage that charges triple the price just because we can; we’re the one that tells you the truth and provides what you truly need. We aim to deliver value that feels honest, fair, and truly beneficial.
easy
Making things easy for our clients is a top priority. Running a business is challenging enough without having to master the complexities of branding, social media, and websites on top of everything else. While you can’t become an expert overnight, we already are. We strive to explain things in simple terms and take care of the tasks you might be struggling with, so you can focus on what you do best.
liberating
Last but certainly not least, we value liberation. What we do is liberate people and businesses, freeing up their time and energy so they can focus on what matters most. Since starting our own business, we’ve experienced the joy of working on our own terms, especially with a family. We want to give our clients the same freedom—to start and grow their companies while enjoying the freedoms of life.
