Hi, I’m Jess, the driving force behind Derf Design Studio. I work with a small team of talented freelance creatives to bring logos, brand identities, websites and marketing campaigns to life.

The whole cake, with sprinkles ...

Based in West Yorkshire, I’ve collaborated with local businesses across Halifax, Hebden Bridge and Todmorden, as well as working on remote projects internationally, including New Zealand and Australia,

Great design isn’t just about looking good, it’s about getting results. Every project is shaped by marketing thinking, ensuring it speaks to the right audience, works across relevant platforms and supports clear outcomes. It’s not just a flyer, it’s a considered marketing tool. It’s not just a rebrand, it’s a considered shift in how the brand communicates and connects.

01

Decade of design

Over ten years of experience across graphic design and illustration informs every project, bringing depth, clarity and considered creative direction to every brief.

02

Marketing campaigns

Design doesn’t just support marketing, it is marketing. Every project shapes perception, reinforces messaging and helps drive engagement from the audiences you want to reach.

03

Social media 

Understanding trends, algorithms and user behaviour means every design is strategically crafted to stop the scroll and encourage meaningful interaction across platforms.

04

Ads manager 

Ads capture and convert attention. With a focus on targeting, optimisation and performance analysis, each campaign is designed to aware clear outcomes and measurable results.

Design everything regarding the future.
