hi there

I’m Sammy Phillips

Intuitive brand and Squarespace web designer, podcast co-host and indie biz cheerleader.

Like me, I know you’ve got a bold mission and solid values, but you’re not sure how to infuse that into your brand story and your website.

Don’t tell me…

You've spent hours playing around on Canva but know that a tweaked logo template doesn't embody the true essence of the business you've fought so hard to build.

You're struggling with how to get all your ideas, services and products onto a web page without it overwhelming yourself and your clients.

You no longer want to rely on a Facebook page to promote your business, because what happens if that disappears?

You've outgrown your website and your branding feels off, leaving you feeling disconnected knowing it's holding you back from promoting your business and serving your clients.

Don’t worry I get it!

I know that you’re fed up with the research rabbit holes leaving you without the time or energy to tackle the tech in your biz. I also really know what it feels like to be out of alignment because I once felt like I was swimming against the tide too.

Kohlab Creative was born out of my belief in the independent business and the power of us as a collective to make meaningful change in the world. The name Kohlab Creative, however, was born in a cool indie bar in Greece at 3am (true story!)

Kohlab triple blue wave

koh / meaning ‘island’

lab / collaborate, to work together or with someone else for a special purpose

Everyone knows building and running your own business is a rollercoaster, but it was also a bit of a rollercoaster ride getting here too.

With my background as a trained artist, an established 14-year career in the art auction industry and my experience of building a global £10 million e-commerce sales channel, I know I have a pretty unique approach to brand and web design.

But the real magic lies in my being so passionate to work with conscious independent businesses that believe in nurturing the people and world around us.

That's why I took a leap of faith, resigned from my corporate job and set about building a creative business that served a wider purpose.

Although it did take me doing a little detour studying nutrition (still a big interest of mine) to realise THIS was the biz I was destined to create. Sometimes you have to do what’s not right for you, to know what is!

Together we can uncover your special blend of nourishment and infuse that into your brand identity so that your business becomes the stand-out choice for your dream clients.
