Before you reach out

Answers to common questions about working together.

What types of businesses do you work with?

I work with organisations that have complex information to communicate to audiences that aren't easy to reach. That includes government, infrastructure, resources, health, corporate, and education — any context where design decisions need to be grounded in evidence rather than instinct.

Do I need to have everything figured out before I reach out?

Not at all. Whether you have a clear scope or just a sense of where things aren't working, I can help define the path forward.

How involved do I need to be in the process

Your input matters but you don't need to drive the process. I'll guide the project with a clear structure, keeping you informed at key decision points.

Can you support just one part of a larger project?

Yes. I work on both contained engagements and longer term strategic relationships. That might mean stepping in to design a specific investor presentation, building a brand system from scratch, or establishing the communication framework that everything else runs on.

What does working together look like?

It usually starts with a quick discovery call to understand where you're at and what you need. From there I’ll recommend the best way forward, tailored to your goals, timelines, and team structure.

Still have questions?

Still not sure if there's a fit? A short conversation is the fastest way to find out.

Design that delivers clarity, not just collateral.

When brands rush to make things look right, they often forget to make them mean something. I help businesses design with purpose so what you create aligns, connects, and converts.

Working With Mish is exactly how you would want to work with a designer. Mericia was a step ahead, with practical, simple, yet elegant designs. She understood her target audience and tailored her work to fit the varying clients we have. The final products were more than I had anticipated, she pushed the design beyond the one element asked of her and created additional designs that left a personal touch to the product. Her attention to detail gave us a sense of ease and trust that the product would meet what we asked for, and then one step beyond. I'd highly recommend With Mish as a designer who understands their clients and goes beyond to meet their needs.

My Philosophy

Useful, not just beautiful, but that too.

At With Mish, I believe design should be clear, considered, and genuinely useful. It’s not about trends or fluff. It’s about solving real problems with design that works hard and feels just right, whether that’s a critical presentation, a brand system, or a high-stakes campaign.

That’s why studios, businesses, and teams trust me with their mission-critical work. I bring big-agency craft without the big-agency baggage, delivering work that’s fast, focused, and fit for purpose. The kind of design that keeps projects moving, messaging sharp, and deadlines intact.

Because when the stakes are high, design isn’t decoration. It’s the thing that makes the message land.
