About us
Our mission
To empower businesses of all sizes to establish a clear brand strategy and access premium, measurable design solutions.
Our story
In 2005, Graphic Designer Mark Paul founded Little Gem Creative, initially focusing on local graphic design projects while attracting new business through website enquiries.
Due to personal circumstances (becoming a full-time single parent), Mark has been a work-from-home veteran since 2010.
As a natural problem solver, he transitioned to a more strategic approach, delving into clients’ objectives and collaborating with them to achieve their goals through innovative design.
Today, the agency offers a remote-first, full service – Strategy, Design & Analytics. Making it accessible for all businesses to tell their brand story, define their brand strategy and create measured design.
