BRINGING BRANDS TO LIFE WITH MINIMALIST DESIGN

Hi, I’m Chella, the designer behind Ally May Design Studio, based in Dunsborough, WA. I work with creative professionals across the Margaret River region and beyond, helping them bring their brand vision to life with refined, cohesive identities that reflect the high end quality of their work.

To me, great design goes beyond visuals, it’s about building a connection. With a focus on timeless, minimalist aesthetics, I create brands that not only stand out but resonate deeply with your ideal clients, empowering you to show up with confidence and clarity.

    “Working with Ally May Design Studio was honestly one of the most exciting parts of bringing Her Equilibrium Revived to life. Being able to collaborate with Chella made the process even more special, she absolutely nailed our vision.

    She took the time to really understand what HER stands for and went above and beyond to make sure every part of our brand reflected that, from our beautiful logo, to our brand colour palette, to the overall feel. You can tell she genuinely cared about our brand and the story behind it, and that showed through in every single detail.

    It wasn’t just about creating a visual identity, she brought our entire brand ethos to life in a way that felt powerful, feminine, and true to me. I’m so proud of what we created together. Thank you, Chella, you brought HER to life better than I could have imagined.” — Jayde

    “I recently had the pleasure of working with the incredibly talented Chella who truly exceeded my expectations in every way. Her commitment to excellence and attention to detail were unmatched, and her creativity brought my new business to life in ways I couldn't have imagined.

    From the very beginning, it was clear that Chella was dedicated to understanding my vision and goals for the business. She took the time to listen and asked thoughtful questions to ensure that she fully grasped what I was looking for. But what impressed me the most was how she proactively suggested additional branding elements that would enhance the overall look and feel of my business. This level of communication and understanding continued throughout the entire process, making it a truly collaborative experience.

    Working with such a skilled designer has not only elevated the visual representation of my business but also instilled confidence in my brand. Each piece of stationary, from our packaging to branded templates, showcased a harmonious blend of creativity and professionalism. The packaging items she created were not only visually appealing but also practical and on-brand. It was evident that she had taken the time to understand my target audience and had crafted designs that would resonate with them.

    Her dedication and passion for her craft shone through in every aspect of her work. I cannot recommend Chella highly enough. If you are seeking a professional who will take your branding to the next level, look no further!” - Zoe
