Hi I'm Yaz - founder of Patten Creative.

Essentially, I help business owners take all the ideas, notes and plans rattling around in their heads and turn them into clear, considered branding and websites.

I've been doing this, in one way or another, for over eight years. It started with a graphic design scholarship and a marketing degree, which eventually led to freelancing while travelling and working with clients from different parts of the world. When I returned to the UK, I took a bit of a detour into teaching, but the creative side of things never really went away. Just over a year ago, I decided to take the leap and return to running my business full-time.

Having a background in marketing, design and teaching means I look at projects a little differently. Of course I care about things looking good, but I also care about them making sense. I like understanding how a business works, what makes it different and how that can be reflected through its branding and website.

The teaching side of my career has also shaped how I work with clients. I know that websites, branding and design can sometimes feel overwhelming, so I aim to make the process as straightforward and jargon-free as possible.

I'm naturally detail-oriented (a polite way of saying I'm a bit of a perfectionist) and I genuinely care about the experience of working together. My goal is always to make the process feel collaborative, enjoyable and easy to navigate from start to finish.

I'm based in Portsmouth, but I work with businesses both locally and internationally. Over the years, I've been lucky enough to work with clients across the UK, Europe and the USA, helping bring their ideas to life through thoughtful branding and website design.

    “I am over the moon with the website Yazmin created for me! I gave her free reign to help build something that really captured my brand and audience and I was thrilled with the results. Yaz was incredibly knowledgeable about what would work best and gave loads of tips and pointers that have proven to be successful and drawn people to my website. The result was clean, feminine and fun! She was able to add features that I wondered could be possible and she is extremely friendly and thorough- she certainly takes pride in her work! Thanks so much Yaz, I will definitely be recommending you.”

    “Yaz was absolutely amazing when sorting out all business needs. I was useless and had no idea what I wanted, I couldn’t even decide on the colour scheme! She was so patient and gave me some amazing ideas to help me try and decide what I want. All her replies were super speedy and I was never waiting around to hear from her, even after all the job was done she still today helps me with little bits with no hassle at all. 100% would recommend her for anything you need.”

    “I met with Yaz to discuss my new business venture and talk about branding, logo and creating a website. From the moment I met her I was impressed with how clearly she understood exactly what I wanted. Her enthusiasm about the task in hand was incredible and her eye for detail second to none. She was incredibly patient with me, and took every possible measure to make sure I was 100% happy with every single detail.

    I have never met anyone as passionate about my business as I am, everything had to be perfect, and it was! I will definitely be using Yaz again in the future, and am always quick to recommend her when the opportunity arises. I have had nothing but good feedback about the website and logo, I also found Yaz to be brilliant value for money.”

    “Yazmin has been absolutely amazing from start to finish. I explained that I wanted something cool, quirky but chic, and she saw my vision instantly and then brought it to life even better than I imagined. The wedding website looks incredible, feels so “us”, and is super easy to use. It’s made sending invites effortless, and I love that it even allows us to separate day guests and evening guests, which has been such a game-changer for planning. I honestly couldn’t love it more… perfect in every way 💖 Thank you Yazmin!”
