ESOTERIC AESTHETICS MYSTICALLY INFUSED
What do we do?
We’re a branding studio so we’re all about upleveling your brand in many different forms ~ including graphic design, logo design, brand design, packaging design website design, brand strategy and social media strategy/management.
Who do we do it for?
We collab mostly with darkly-inclined small businesses who are ready to translate and elevate their brand to higher levels. Artisans, healers, crafters ~ we often work with those in the spaces of beauty, wellness, apothecary and lifestyle who create a range of beautiful products such as candles, makeup, potions and elixirs, incense, jewelry, soaps, skincare, clothing, homewares, oddities and so much more!
Why do we do it?
Because we love it! But also because we just adore seeing and helping other weirdos and misfits take over the world. From being told in university that we’d never make it unless our style changed, we’re passionate about helping other alternative people bring their biz dreams to life.

Intuitive creative, nature loving, horror snob, woo-woo advocate of all black everything.
Alaura is a brand stylist and aesthetic witch of the highest order. Her dark, lush visions are distinct in the design world. An intuitive designer with over five years of freelance experience and a Bachelor of Art and Design. Driven by a commitment to a darker aesthetic, she has established herself as a visionary in niche brand styling. In a world driven by conformity and bland norms, her work continues to give shape to a diverse range of brands.

As a big advocate of spending time in nature she loves disappearing into the forrest to hike, camp or forest-bathe. She enjoys weight lifting, long walks and has been a practicing yogi for years. Known as a bit of a ‘horror snob’, she loves watching indie and art-house horror movies and true crime/paranormal podcasts and documentaries.
In her personal life she enjoys balancing design with being a homemaker, mother and constantly working on her aesthetic abode. Outside of design she is passionate about spirituality, biophilia and women’s health. Alaura has been attuned into Reiki level 1 and is also completing her 200 HR YTT (hippie goth vibes). She can often be found in a bubble bath indulging with a good book, glass of wine and some chocolate.
