  • You don’t just get a few logo files and a wave goodbye in these parts. You receive an entire brand identity. No questioning how to actually use your brand- with your brand guidelines, you’ll receive info on how to use your logo files, what fonts to use, your colours and their info, plus pages on how your brand should look and feel when in use. What does this mean? It means that you aren’t spending hours staring at Canva wondering what to create, or confusing your customers with a brand that one minute feels premium and the next belongs in the bargain bin. Your brand = confidence and clarity to hit your business goals! Brand guidelines for the stunning @rileysviewmtkilcoy
  • While I usually build my sites in WordPress, the Riley’s View site found its home on Squarespace - and for good reason. My client wanted something simple to update and manage themselves, without any technical headaches. Squarespace’s drag-and-drop editor was the perfect fit - easy to learn, beautifully intuitive, and still flexible enough to bring their brand to life. Sometimes the best platform is the one that fits your needs, not just the designer’s toolbox 💻🌿
  • Introducing the brand for @rileysviewmtkilcoy - a breathtaking new wedding and events venue nestled in the hills of Kilcoy, Queensland. This brand was crafted to capture the venue’s effortless elegance, heartfelt hospitality, and connection to nature. With a refined magnolia motif and soft neutral tones, the identity reflects both sophistication and warmth - the perfect match for a space designed to host life’s most meaningful celebrations. Riley’s View is more than just a venue - it’s a place where every detail feels intentional, and every celebration tells a story. And when I say the views are breathtaking, they truly are!

  • Hi I'm Renae, the designer behind Bird & Branch, and a small business owner myself. I understand the messy middle, the to-do list overwhelm, the perfectionism trap. But I also know how powerful it is when your brand truly feels like you. With a degree in visual arts and communication and over a decade in design, I’ve seen how branding can transform not just how a business looks, but how it’s understood, remembered, and valued. When I'm not designing beautiful brands, you’ll find me running a music shop with my musician husband, parenting two energetic little humans, or indulging my inner nanna with cross-stitch, cuppas, and board games (rules are non-negotiable). I’m a left-handed, trombone-playing introvert with a deep love of storytelling. Writing, art or music, they’re all different ways of telling a story and I love them all, but ultimately they achieve the same thing- emotion and connection. I love working with passionate, values-led business owners who care deeply about what they do and want their branding to reflect that. People with big hearts, thoughtful ideas, and a story worth telling. Does this sound like you? I'd love to help you out!
  • Your brand isn’t just a logo or a colour palette - it’s an experience. A feeling. A story waiting to be told. Want branding services with soul, strategy and story at the heart, just like these businesses? Let’s talk.
  • That video of Penn Badgley dancing onto Jennifer Hudson’s show? Living in my head rent free. It’s unexpected. It’s extra. It’s confident, charming, and just the right amount of quirky.
In other words- unforgettable. And that’s exactly what great branding does.
It walks into the room (or your feed), owns its space, and leaves a lasting impression. Whether it’s a bold colour palette, a tone of voice that actually sounds human, or a visual identity that captures who you are in an instant- memorable branding is what keeps people thinking about you long after the scroll stops. If your brand isn’t dancing into people’s brains and setting up camp… it might be time to change the music. Let’s make sure your brand has its “Penn Badgley moment.”
  • Today is International Hyperemesis Gravidarum Day. It’s not something I talk about often, but I lived through it- twice. And it was one of the hardest things I’ve ever experienced. HG isn’t just “morning sickness.” It’s relentless, all-consuming, and for me, it stripped away every ounce of energy, joy, and normalcy during my two pregnancies. It was hospital trips, isolation, guilt, and survival mode. But out of that fog, there were lessons that stuck with me. ✨ You never really know what someone is going through. I’ve learnt to carry that with me every day. The colleague who’s quiet, the friend who cancels last minute, the parent who looks like they’re just holding it together- we have no idea what their unseen battles are. 💛 Compassion matters. Especially the kind we offer ourselves. I had to learn to soften the voice in my head, to ask for help, and to accept that doing my best looked different on different days. (Still something I have to work on!) 🌿 This too shall pass. It became my quiet mantra. And eventually, the clouds did lift. Life returned, not the same- but deeper somehow. I still remind myself of this on the tough days. Nothing lasts forever, and there’s always light up ahead. If you’ve been through HG, or are in the middle of it now- I see you. You are strong beyond words. And if someone asks if you’ve tried ginger- you have my permission to smile politely and go scream into a pillow (when you really just want to punch them in the face 😜) @hyperemesisaustralia @youmeandhg @hgmoms #HyperemesisGravidarumAwareness #ThisTooShallPass #Compassion #MentalHealthMatters #PersonalPost #InternationalHGAwarenessDay

Today is International Hyperemesis Gravidarum Day. It’s not something I talk about often, but I lived through it- twice. And it was one of the hardest things I’ve ever experienced. HG isn’t just “morning sickness.” It’s relentless, all-consuming, and for me, it stripped away every ounce of energy, joy, and normalcy during my two pregnancies. It was hospital trips, isolation, guilt, and survival mode. But out of that fog, there were lessons that stuck with me. ✨ You never really know what someone is going through. I’ve learnt to carry that with me every day. The colleague who’s quiet, the friend who cancels last minute, the parent who looks like they’re just holding it together- we have no idea what their unseen battles are. 💛 Compassion matters. Especially the kind we offer ourselves. I had to learn to soften the voice in my head, to ask for help, and to accept that doing my best looked different on different days. (Still something I have to work on!) 🌿 This too shall pass. It became my quiet mantra. And eventually, the clouds did lift. Life returned, not the same- but deeper somehow. I still remind myself of this on the tough days. Nothing lasts forever, and there’s always light up ahead. If you’ve been through HG, or are in the middle of it now- I see you. You are strong beyond words. And if someone asks if you’ve tried ginger- you have my permission to smile politely and go scream into a pillow (when you really just want to punch them in the face 😜) @hyperemesisaustralia @youmeandhg @hgmoms #HyperemesisGravidarumAwareness #ThisTooShallPass #Compassion #MentalHealthMatters #PersonalPost #InternationalHGAwarenessDay

I still remind myself of this on the tough days. Nothing lasts forever, and there’s always light up ahead. If you’ve been through HG, or are in the middle of it now- I see you. You are strong beyond words. And if someone asks if you’ve tried ginger- you have my permission to smile politely and go scream into a pillow (when you really just want to punch them in the face 😜) @hyperemesisaustralia @youmeandhg @hgmoms #HyperemesisGravidarumAwareness #ThisTooShallPass #Compassion #MentalHealthMatters #PersonalPost #InternationalHGAwarenessDay

Today is International Hyperemesis Gravidarum Day. It’s not something I talk about often, but I lived through it- twice. And it was one of the hardest things I’ve ever experienced. HG isn’t just “morning sickness.” It’s relentless, all-consuming, and for me, it stripped away every ounce of energy, joy, and normalcy during my two pregnancies. It was hospital trips, isolation, guilt, and survival mode. But out of that fog, there were lessons that stuck with me. ✨ You never really know what someone is going through. I’ve learnt to carry that with me every day. The colleague who’s quiet, the friend who cancels last minute, the parent who looks like they’re just holding it together- we have no idea what their unseen battles are. 💛 Compassion matters. Especially the kind we offer ourselves. I had to learn to soften the voice in my head, to ask for help, and to accept that doing my best looked different on different days. (Still something I have to work on!) 🌿 This too shall pass. It became my quiet mantra. And eventually, the clouds did lift. Life returned, not the same- but deeper somehow.
