I started my own branding agency, P. J. King Art, to help Construction & Transport business owners grow and succeed. But, to be honest, I kind of boxed myself in by working on similar projects over and over. I realised I wasn’t challenging myself creatively or learning anything new. That’s why I joined Upwork—to work with clients across different industries, tackle fresh challenges, and gain new perspectives. I’m all about constantly improving so I can deliver even better results to my clients. When you work with me, you’ll get a dedicated professional who’s passionate about creating designs that help your business stand out and succeed. If you think we’re a good fit, book a discovery call or send me a message, and I’m sure we can arrange something. 😉

Website (Wix) - Bayscape

Bayscape is a business run by owners nearing retirement, catering to a similar clientele. The goal was to create a website and business cards that were accessible and user-friendly for an audience that's less tech-savvy. Using their existing logo, I adjusted standard design principles to include large font sizes, minimal pages, and clear, concise information. It was a fun project to work on, but I've realised I prefer working with Webflow for web design.See More

Interactive Pitch Deck - P. J. King Art

I developed a pitch deck for P. J. King Art to present the company’s products to clients during video calls. I kept the design minimal, with just enough text to complement the presenter’s narrative, allowing clients to focus on the discussion while referencing key points in the slides. This approach makes it easy for clients to understand the company’s offerings, value, and pricing in a seamless, professional presentation. (Apologies for the shortened video due to file size restrictions. Feel free to reach out if you’d like a custom pitch deck made for you! 😄)See More
