It's All About...

Hi, I'm Laura

Welcome to S&V Creative. I’m Laura and I’m the face behind S&V Creative. I know here I’m supposed to say how I never anticipated being a brand & web designer and that I just fell in love with it, but that’s not how it is. Not going to lie, there were a few life dreams before this one (cue musician, lawyer and lollipop lady!) But ever since I knew what brand & web design were, I’ve wanted to make it my full-time gig.

I’m an INTP Logician at heart, but I also crave the freedom that creativity brings, which is what lead me down this path. Nothing has satisfied both the logician and creative living inside me quite like brand design & web design. Curious about how I ended up here? Take a quick scroll down to uncover my journey. 

To running a

business

I'd finally found a form of art that "clicked" with me, but I was burnt out. Which lead me to discovering brand and web design. I started by just doing some designs for friends and family before launching my first business back in 2017. I loved it but I felt stuck. I was so focused on trends and what everyone else was doing that I forgot to look inwards and just be myself. Which is where the launch of SV Creative came in and I've honestly never been happier. I get to combine my love of books and design, I feel like the luckiest girl in the world.

From running on

empty

Honestly, my whole life has kind of felt like Jessica Stanley's graduation speech from Twilight... "Who the hell knows?". That was until I found designing! I'd always been somewhat of an artsy and crafty person, but never found something that "clicked" with me. So after not getting into college and feeling like my life was in a mess, I somehow managed to land a marketing assistant job. 
This job  snowballed and I ended up teaching myself graphic design to keep up with the pace of the role, cue me then becoming lead designer of the company 5 years later. 

Oh, come on. I can't pick a favourite pet! But here are my three babies.

A few of my favourite things...

PETS?

francine the queen

My husband and I went to Iceland and drove around the island in a camper van in the middle of winter. Definitely my fave!

MY FAVOURITE ROAD TRIP

The Blair Witch Project! I remember watching it for the first time with a group of friends and we were convinced for about a month after that it was real. Absolutely terrifying!

MY FAVOURITE HORROR MOVIE

hello from iceland

My favourite book of all-time is Dracula! It shaped a big part of who I am. But I have a soft spot in my nostalgic heart for The Jungle Book.

MY FAVOURITE BOOK

My husband and I are currently renovating a van so that we can go on more road trips together with our furry little children. The van's name is Francine!
