Tea Break Studios was born from a moment of reflection — quite literally, over a hot cup of tea. After navigating single motherhood, creative burnout, and a desire to build something meaningful, I decided to start a studio that reflects everything I value:

• Thoughtful creativity
• Slow, intentional design
• Beautiful branding with heart
• Balance between passion, parenthood, and purpose

This wasn’t just a business idea — it was a reset. I wanted to show other creatives and small business owners that branding could feel calm, warm, empowering, and still be powerful and effective.

1. Naming & Purpose

The name Tea Break Studios represents a pause for perspective. It speaks to the idea that creativity isn’t rushed — it’s brewed. This became the heartbeat of the brand.

2. Visual Identity

I wanted the branding to feel:

• Soft, warm, and grounded, like comfort in a cup
• Organised but creative, striking a balance between flow and structure
• Feminine but strong, reflective of my journey as a mother and creative

3. Colour Palette

I created a muted, earthy palette to mirror calm and focus: A neutral base, stability and growth, warmth and boldness,  emotion and softness

4. Typography

• Playfair Display for personality and elegance

 • Poppins for body text — calm and accessible

5. Logo Design

I explored several concepts:

• A teacup with steam shaped like a pencil
• A kettle pouring CMYK ideas into a workspace
• A mum figure designing inside a cup, the balance of life and creativity

I chose a final logo that feels playful, meaningful, and recognisably design-focused, representing both the pause and the process.

Tea Break Studios is more than a brand, it’s a personal story turned into a platform.

This portfolio piece is proof that branding doesn’t have to be loud to be powerful. It can be quietly confident, deeply personal and intentionally designed.

It’s for creatives who care, small businesses with soul, and anyone who knows the power of pressing pause.
