Vanilla Bean Cakery
“I am absolutely in love with the branding Sophie did with our company, Vanilla Bean Cakery. When I first approached her for our branding she asked a series of questions and discussed in detail how I want to represent my business. Her branding was very on point with the chinoiserie and rose gold foil details. She designed our gorgeous business cards and our website. She was a dream to work with and I could not be any happier with her work.”

“Sophie designed save the dates, wedding invitations, shower invitations and most impressively a custom crest for us to use throughout all of the different elements of our wedding. Her style is 100% up my alley and I couldn’t find anything or anyone else comparable online or near me in Michigan. The wedding planning process is far more stressful than I ever would have expected, especially when paying extra attention to every little detail. Sophie is so easy to work with, so professional and caring, beyond helpful and so much more. She has been one of the only people across all sorts of different wedding vendors who has truly understood me and my vision and not wanted to take the easy way out or not fully listen. I continue to ask her questions that are in no way her responsibility to answer because she has proven to be such a valuable resource and wealth of knowledge. When plenty of other vendors told me “no”, she offered me solutions, continued to work with me and delivered my exact vision. She will work odd hours and not stop working until you are 1000% happy with whatever she is creating for you. I could not speak more highly of her and can assure you if you’re considering working with her that you definitely should. She will not disappoint. If you are hesitant to work with someone online instead of local, don’t be. I don’t typically write reviews, but felt impelled to because she has been that exceptional. Thank you Sophie for everything! We can’t wait to send out our wedding invitations.”

“Sophie designed the logo and sub-marks for my law firm. I knew that she was impeccably talented, but the final design blew me away. I wanted a look that was elegant, timeless, creative and exuded luxury and she nailed it! Her craftsmanship is unmatched. I highly recommend her services… She was one of the first MAJOR investments I made in my business and I don’t think I’ll ever change my logo. She gives you something that is incredibly rare… and that is the gift of being TIMELESS… If you want a luxury look Sophie Taylor is your girl….[she] captured my desires perfectly… Sophie does excellent work and is a wonderful designer… Hire her and you’ll be happy. [Her] logo for my firm has always helped me stand out in the marketplace.“

“Sophie of Castlefield Design has been incredibly amazing! I reached out to Sophie after finally making a decision to get a logo rebrand that represents my company and it was THE BEST decision I’ve ever made. Sophie took the time to understand my vision, was super patient during the period I couldn’t make up my mind and offered great suggestions in coming up with styles and colours that would be suitable for my company logo. It was such an easy process; she checked-in regularly to make sure she clearly understood my vision and was able to create such a beautiful logo in the end that truly represents my brand! I’m so thankful and grateful for her expertise. I highly recommend Sophie if you require branding and design needs!”

Kendell Klein
“We fell in LOVE with Sophie’s work the first time we saw her page on Etsy and knew she would be the perfect artist to help us come up with our wedding invitations. Given we were still figuring out our exact motif and style, Sophie was so patient and a wonderful collaborator to help us achieve the strange visual and color palette for what is an unusual wedding with a complex aesthetic. I simply cannot recommend Sophie highly enough, as an artist, collaborator, and professional! If I could give her a hundred stars, I would.”

Emma Jean Cooper
“Castlefield designs are not only rare but they are total quality! From the branding questionnaire, to one on one conversations with the designer, Sophie, and the prompt delivery of my logo design I have not one complaint. I’ve invested in other designers and truly been unsatisfied with the end result. Sophie took my wishes as her command and created a beautiful logo for my business. Following the success of that logo design I’ve decided to officially stick with Sophie for book cover design and t-shirt/package design as well. My supporters, customers, and clients will feel the love and time we’ve invested and wonder where I’ve been all along. Truly grateful for [Sophie’s] passion and commitment! An amazing designer who takes her work seriously and provides top quality in all she does. I appreciated working with her and getting designs and am looking forward to working with her again soon.”

“I first got to know Sophie Taylor while she was a student employee in my department’s marketing/graphics office [the Department Campus Recreation at University of California, Davis]. In following months, I was and continue to be enormously impressed by Sophie’s maturity, intelligence, leadership, design skills, and aesthetic sensibilities.
[My] marketing/graphics office employs a large student staff as marketing assistants, design assistants, and photographers. Our student employees are given significant responsibility in realizing the department’s marketing objectives. Upon joining our staff, Sophie established herself as a leading designer and mentor, and her work attracted significant recognition on- and off-campus. In particular, she created successful design concepts for several Craft Center and Fitness & Wellness Center initiatives.
Throughout her employment, Sophie consistently demonstrated a great sensitivity and responsive attitude to client needs.“

“The communication was very good, that is, quick answers, very friendly and despite multilingual communication without misunderstandings. Changes were also made quickly and easily. Visually very beautiful and could be implemented by the print shop without further ado. We were very satisfied with the result and the invitations were very well received.” (Translated from German)

“As a brand and creative strategist, I’ve been fortunate to work with some of the most innovative brand specialists and visual designers in Los Angeles and San Francisco. But when I founded my own tech startup, I was fortunate to meet a designer whose path I hadn’t yet crossed. Sophie and her team consistently produce bold, stunning, refined designs for my growing brand that excite and inspire. I get so many compliments on their design!
Castlefield is a luxury solution for entrepreneurs and businesses that take their brand presence seriously and understand the importance of making a statement before you’ve said a word. As a woman’s brand in a somewhat saturated space, making certain my company feels fresh and different is the primary charge we have aside from the actual value in our product. I never doubt that Castlefield profoundly understands this and ‘gets’ my company’s needs.
I’ll always refer my contacts to Castlefield for design needs because the Castlefield team is not only wildly talented but also awesome to work with—great personalities go a long way when you’re dealing with the stress of building a startup and Sophie and her assistant designer Rocío have never disappointed in this regard. I feel extremely fortunate to have been introduced to them and I’m proud to call myself a Castlefield client.”

“I highly recommend Castlefield Design! Sophie of Castlefield was able to create the perfect (and very complex) crest logo with coordinating glyph, web icons, and coordinating packaging / branding materials and website for my luxury brand. I wasn’t really sure even how to explain what I wanted – just a general concept and the feeling of what I wanted… and she was not only patient with me, but really took the time to understand the nuances of what I needed and the essence of my brand, and she was able to make it happen so beautifully… it really was beyond all expectations! Sophie’s customer service is superb… and I will be working with her again and again… and again for ALL of my branding and graphics needs. If you need anything done… Castlefield Design is the way to go!”

“It has truly been an honor and pleasure working with Sophie Taylor, CEO of Castlefield Luxury Branding Studio. She literally took my vision and designed it. She helped me better understand what branding is. Through a brand strategy session, she asked me all the correct questions, she listened to me… My brand identity is everything I imagined… I am so impressed with Sophie’s professionalism, creativity & passion. It has truly been an experience working with an expert. I admire her passion and love for luxury design. I loved this whole experience. [My] branding portfolio looks so beautiful and amazing and ]it’s] something I’m so proud of.”

“I’ve admired Sophie’s work for some time so I jumped at the opportunity to take my design project to her. I was not disappointed. Sophie communicates in a prompt manner, she collected inspiration, offered her suggestions, and worked tirelessly (literally) to complete revisions, corrections and the final draft for my deadline. She has a well-tuned eye for the high-end/luxury look I was going for with my project. I’m glad she did because I don’t know if I would have started without her help. I 100% recommend Castlefield Design to companies looking to create a visual project with sophistication and flair.”

“I started working with Sophie on my branding and I was amazed — and very pleased — to have received proofs, mockups, etc. all so quickly. To be honest, I was taken aback at how beautifully my logo turned out. The level of service Castlefield provides to its customers is no less than excellent. The quality of their service and product is quite impressive. I’d never fathomed that I could get so excited over business cards, but I have to tell you, I can’t wait to hand them out to all my clients!”

“[The umbrella has] brilliant colors, quality product, great price.”
Sabrina Essery
“I was surprised to see the purse shipping from China, as the description had said that it would ship from Toronto… however, I didn’t have to pay any extra fees and I received the item in good time. Sophie was kind enough to provide me with a shipping number, which was very helpful! The print on this bag is gorgeous – the photos don’t do it justice! The colour is beautiful, and it’s the perfect size! I love that it includes a shoulder strap.” (Note: the Etsy shop listed Castlefield’s location as Toronto, but the shipped-from location and timeline were stated in the terms and conditions.)
