About us

Sarah is the the 'creative' behind Creative Buddies. She has over 20 years experience working across many design fields from small design studios to major consumer magazine titles and since leaving London now designs everything and anything for print. As the Assistant Art Editor on Ideal Home magazine she spent her days art directing photographic shoots, commissioning illustrators and designing the pages (as well as watching some great fashion shows from a studio in Carnaby Street). Since moving to Somerset her portfolio has expanded to include amongst many things, books for Gardening Which?, logos for various companies, brochures, leaflets, stationery and more magazines, as well as front end web design. Take a look at the portfolio below for some inspiration... On the web front we have Luke who is a talented web developer and who knows SEO inside out to ensure you the greatest chance of being found. With years of experience and contacts we also work closely with photographers who can breath life into still life (they are great with people pictures too!), stylists and writers.

Testimonials

With a very limited brief and not a lot of time Sarah came back with several designs for our client's logo, all of which showed a real understanding for what we required. For various reasons we needed tweaks and re-thinks, none of which was too much trouble. By the end of the process Sarah had produced a perfect logo, all for a very reasonable cost - we will definitely be using her services again!

Thanks Sarah, my new website looks fantastic, very professional, something to be proud of.  I love it and my clients love it.

Colin, CFitness

 

It is with great pleasure that I write this testimonial for Sarah Harmer, with whom I have worked for at least 10 years now.  During that time she has helped create some beautiful designs for the promotional material of the acupuncture college of which I was the Principal.  She has also guided the design of three of my books from the first draft right through to the final printing, liaising very efficiently and easily both with me and the printers.  I think she has a very creative eye for what looks good on the page, and has also always been quite happy to adapt her ideas to what we as her clients wanted.

Nora Franglen, SOFEA

 

Sarah's calm and measured approach is fantastic. She is a brilliant designer bringing variety and vibrancy to the design process and making it appear effortless. Sarah listens very carefully and translates that into designs that really delight. On top of this, her professionalism, attention to detail, swift action and flexibility are faultless. Thank you very much Sarah!

June Whittle, Coachmark

Sarah's creative eye always comes up with fresh, imaginative and attractive ways to put information across which gets results every time.

FAQs

Can you design just a logo for me?
Yes. If that's all you need then that's what we'll do.  
Can you help refresh an existing brand?
Yes. Sometimes that's all it takes. There may be some simple alterations to a website or an update of a logo that would be enough. Take at look at The Eastbury Hotel logo in our portfolio section.
How many designs can I choose from?
We usually produce two or three unless you are very specific.  
Is  professional photography really necessary?
A well taken photograph can make a big difference to capturing your potential customers attention and so we think well worth considering.
How long does it take?
No two jobs are ever the same but we will give you a guide or a schedule.  
How much will it cost?
Again no two jobs are ever the same. We charge by the hour for smaller jobs and by the day for the longer ones. We will always give you a written estimate.
