About

I’m Emma, the designer behind The Design Den, a creative studio based in Helsby, Cheshire. I work with small and independent businesses to create branding, social media content and websites that feel modern, organised and genuinely reflective of who they are. My focus is on making design simple, stress-free and effective — so you can show up online with confidence and clarity.

After years of designing for local businesses, community projects and creative brands, I’ve learned that most clients want the same thing: professional, consistent visuals that make their business look trustworthy and easy to buy from. That’s why I specialise in bringing everything together — your branding, your content, your website, your marketing — into one cohesive, polished visual identity.

I’m a natural problem-solver and love helping business owners untangle the messy parts of their digital presence. Whether it’s improving your SEO, boosting your website conversions, creating a clear visual style for your brand, or building organised templates you can use every day, I make the process friendly, structured and tailored to you.

Alongside business design, I also create wedding invitations, stationery suites and on-the-day designs for couples across Cheshire and the UK. I bring the same clean, modern style to weddings — helping you set the tone for your day with beautiful, personal designs that feel effortless.

The Design Den is all about making your life easier:
✔ branding that feels right
✔ social content that’s consistent
✔ websites that convert
✔ marketing that’s organised and intentional
✔ wedding stationery that’s beautifully crafted

If you’re a small business or a couple looking for creative support, you’ll find a friendly, collaborative approach — and design that’s made with purpose.

My Approach

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

Dream it

Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest.

Build it

Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
