What if your brand looked as polished in real life as it does in your head?

I create visual design assets for small businesses and organizations looking for a designer who truly understands your commitment, mission, and passion.

I translate your ideas into visual designs that are cohesive and trustworthy, & attract the right people.

Hi, I’m Aurelie (pronounced OR-lee), a fractional design partner for small business owners and organizations who are done with DIY & ready for design that showcases what their business really is.

  1. You’ve been handling the design work by yourself

  2. Your visual brand no longer reflects what you do or how good your product is

  3. You want to work with someone you can trust

You’re in the right place if…

You’re ready to partner with a design expert.

“I know how it feels to be misrepresented & unheard.
That's why I'm so good at making sure your brand looks like you.”

Here’s how we’ll work together:

We start with a conversation about your business, your vision, and what makes you different.

I get to know your business inside and out, and turn that into design direction that feels like your brand.

We iterate collaboratively until a path resonates; then, we refine and polish until it's exactly right.

“That's why I love to be in a thought partnership & relationship with my clients because my brain is always chewing on your brand. I take it with me, and it helps inform the next piece that we'll work on together.”

A few years ago (wink, wink), I studied design and communications at Notre Dame. Then, I started my career at Timex, where I learned what brand consistency and quality look like at scale. Since then, I’ve worked across logos, print, e-commerce, web, and marketing; contributed to record-breaking sales; and helped companies navigate pandemic pivots with smart digital solutions. My real superpower is seeing who a brand is and making the design say it out loud.

I founded Irish Eyes Design to do work that matters to me.

Today, I create logos, brand identities, collateral, and Squarespace websites for small businesses and entrepreneurs who are ready to show up as the real thing.

Brands I’ve collaborated with:

  • logo featuring a navy blue MJ with a callalily in the center
  • logo featuring fun and multicolored letters stating "Empowered Path" with a blue flower for the o and a heart reversed out of the a
  • Ducks logo featuring bold blue uppercase letters with duck footprints reversed out in the negative space and yellow duck feet above and below the logo
  • logo featuring hand drawn lowercase letters in blue and a green vine within a circle for givenkind.orgGivenKind logo - old
  • Logo features a gold shield with white starburst next to LAND in bold blue, with Life After Notre Dame in gold text below.
  • Logo features "Jerome" in red cursive letters with a gold crown above and gold wholesale below. wholesale logo
  • The Irish Eyes Design symbol features a stylized shamrock reversed out of a light blue circle.
  • The Powers Plants logo features a tulip in the initial P reversed out of blue letters.
  • The Living Well PT logo features blue handwritten text that is full of vitality!
  • The Presidential Title logo features navy blue text and a star bursting out of a box.
  • Wildflower Child and Family Center logo

Eyes Wide Open

Yes, I use AI tools now and then, usually to sort a messy thought or speed up a first draft. I use AI tools, but never as a starting point or to generate work; the ideas, opinions, and taste are mine.
The tools handle some of the heavy lifting, and every piece is read, rewritten, and approved by a human before it reaches you.
Decades of experience, plus a very fast assistant. You still get a real person who will tell you when something isn’t working.

Written by me, with occasional help from AI tools; edited by me, always.
