Good design shouldn't just look good. It should work.
Branding, print, websites and digital design, thoughtfully created from my independent studio in the High Peak, Derbyshire.
Hi, I’m Courteney
I'm the designer behind Cobalt & Blush, an independent creative studio based in the High Peak, Derbyshire.
I work with businesses, brands and individuals to create thoughtful branding, print, digital design and websites that feel professional, purposeful and unmistakably theirs.
With over eight years of industry experience, I believe good design is about more than making something look beautiful. It's about creating work that connects with people and helps you feel proud to share it.
Because good design shouldn't just look good.
It should work.
When I'm not designing, you'll usually find me at a gig, walking in the Peaks or convincing myself I definitely don't need another typeface.
Wondering what it's like to work together?
Ways We Can Work Together
Every project starts with an idea. Whether you're launching a business, celebrating something special or refreshing your existing brand, I create branding, print and digital design that's carefully considered, beautifully crafted and made to last.
Branding
Create a strong foundation with a visual identity that feels recognisable, consistent and unmistakably yours. Whether you're starting from scratch or refining an existing brand, I'll help you build an identity that's designed to grow with you.
Print Design
Thoughtful print and creative design that brings your ideas to life beyond the screen. From marketing materials and signage to wedding invitations and event stationery, everything is designed to feel cohesive, purposeful and considered.
Digital Design & Websites
Helping your brand feel just as at home online as it does in print. From custom Squarespace websites to social media templates and digital marketing assets, I create designs that are easy to manage and built to make an impact.
Need a little bit of everything?
Some projects need more than one service, and that's often where the magic happens.
Whether you're launching a new business, planning an event or looking for ongoing design support, my packages combine branding, print and digital design into one seamless experience. Prefer something more bespoke? We can build a package around exactly what you need.

Got a question? You're probably not the first to ask it. I've answered some of the most common ones below, but if you can't find what you're looking for, just pop me a message.
Everything You Need to Know
-
Not at all! Lots of clients come to me with a rough idea rather than a detailed brief. We'll chat about your goals, your style and what you're hoping to achieve, then we'll work out the best approach together.
-
Every project is quoted individually, so you only pay for what you need. I'll always provide a personalised quote before anything begins.
-
It depends on the type of project and my current availability. Smaller projects may only take a couple of weeks, while branding and websites naturally take a little longer. I'll always give you a realistic timeframe before we start.
-
Not at all! Alongside branding and marketing design, I also create wedding invitations, event stationery and other bespoke print projects. If you've got an idea, I'd love to hear it.
-
Absolutely! Everything can be done remotely, and I work with clients across the UK using email, video calls and shared feedback.
-
Yes! Squarespace is my platform of choice because it's reliable, beautifully designed and easy for my clients to manage after launch.
Whether you've got a clear vision or just the beginnings of an idea, I'd love to hear about it. Let's create something thoughtful together.
Ready When You Are.
