A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME.

I’m a UK-based Strategic Brand Designer, here to help purpose-driven businesses create brands that break hearts. I don’t believe in blending in. The strongest brands stand out by embracing what makes them different—by being bold, unapologetic, and authentic.

I work with ambitious businesses that want to redefine their industry and make an emotional impact that lasts. I’m not just designing logos. I’m building iconic, minimalist brand systems that resonate deeply. I fuse the precision of brand architecture with the creativity of storytelling, so that your brand doesn’t just get noticed—it connects. Each part of your brand aligns with your purpose and values, so it’s felt, not just seen.

That’s how you build trust and create lasting loyalty. Whether you’re a startup looking to make waves or an established brand seeking a fresh perspective, I’ll help you own your uniqueness and turn it into your greatest asset. My approach is holistic, strategic, and intuitive.

I help you define your ‘why’, build a brand that leads, and create a story that sticks. Everything I do is about clarity, cohesion, and delivering results—because great brands don’t just look good, they do good, for good. Let’s create a brand that’s unforgettable. One that sparks emotion, builds loyalty, and connects with your audience on a deeper level. A brand that reflects who you are, what you stand for, and where you’re going.

STRATEGIC
APPROACH


I believe the essence of a great brand lies in its purpose. I focus on essential questions: Why do you exist? What makes you unique? By exploring these aspects, I help clients uncover their identity, paving the way for brands that truly resonate.

Through interactive brand strategy workshops, we collaborate to define your unique selling proposition (USP), craft compelling brand statements, and create authentic names and taglines that reflect your vision and values. Whether revitalising a legacy brand or launching a disruptive startup, I blend creativity with strategic clarity to build bold, purposeful brand systems—where every visual and message plays a distinct role in telling your story. Let’s work together to create a brand that embodies your values and inspires trust.

GLOBAL
BRANDS


I've collaborated with a variety of brands, including Paddington Bear, Novartis, the Royal Navy, Adidas, Snapchat, and Mars Wrigley. At Epoch, I worked on projects for Unilever, Coca-Cola, and Carlsberg. Recently, I’ve focused on digital marketing and tech companies in Bristol, such as Believe Digital and Noughts and Ones. My goal is to help brands articulate their unique value, leading to positive feedback and repeat business.I’m passionate about working with companies in prop tech, Web 3, AI, and digital assets—any brand that aims to make a difference. Together, we can create compelling identities that drive profitability and stand out in a competitive landscape.

WEB DESIGN
UI/UX


In my web design approach, I see each project as an extension of the brand identity we've crafted together. I specialise in creating cohesive visual systems that reflect the essence of the brand while ensuring a user-friendly experience. Using tools like Figma and Webflow, I develop intuitive interfaces that integrate SEO best practices, responsive designs, and robust component libraries. This holistic approach enhances user experience and increases the likelihood of converting visitors into loyal clients. By aligning every aspect of web design with your brand’s core values, I help businesses create an online presence that truly stands out and resonates with their audience.

SOME CLIENT LOVE

We hired Joanna to guide the strategy of a new brand identity for Noughts & Ones and she delivered over and above our expectations! We now have a crystal clear brand essence that we can take through to a visual identity. Deeply passionate about her craft, always asking the right questions at the right time and challenging us when we needed it, Joanna was amazing to work with.

Brand Strategy workshop by Joanna Xenofontos - JX Branding for Noughts and Ones - Tom Locke, Matthew Pill and the rest of the team. Sticky notes on the wall.
"I've been hesitant about rebranding for a long time but working with Joanna, the concern soon disappeared as she took us through a discovery workshop (hard effort but fun at the same time) and from the outcomes of this really got under the skin of who we are as a company at what our identity should look like. Could not be happier with our new look, would recommend to anybody who is in a similar position & look forward to continuing to work together in the future"
