The Journal
THOUGHTS, STORIES AND STUDIO NOTES FROM WILD MIND STUDIOS, Wivenhoe, essex.
Welcome
This is a space for honest thoughts on branding, design, and what it really takes to build a creative business that feels like you.
I'm Amie - artist, photographer, and brand designer based in the quietly magical village of Wivenhoe, Essex. This journal is where I share the things that don't quite fit into a service page - the process, the thinking, the behind the scenes, and the messy, beautiful reality of building something from scratch.
Here you'll find brand tips, design inspiration, and behind the scenes of studio life alongside honest reflections on creativity, slow living, and doing things differently. I'm also late-diagnosed AuDHD (Autism/ADHD), and some of what I write here explores that too - the way it shapes how I work, how I think, and how I've learned to build a business that actually works for my brain rather than against it.
Written for wellness, beauty, and creative business owners who are ready to show up more intentionally online - and for anyone who just loves a good read with a matcha in hand.
