Testimonials

Selly is an absolute gem to work with. From producing billboard-ready creative through to printed brochures and large-scale wall displays, she consistently delivers high-quality, professional work. She’s seriously talented, committed to producing the best possible outcome. Selly works confidently to a brief, communicates clearly throughout the process, and always delivers on time. I’d love to work with Selly on projects in the future if given the opportunity and would highly recommend her to anyone.

Beth Adams, Destination Marlborough

Selly did a fantastic job of doing a much needed rebranding for our business. Every step of the way she conducted herself in a professional and kind manner, taking into account our needs and wants. After an enjoyable process of her getting to know us personally as a business, running colour schemes and ideas past us, etc, the final result for our new logo/brand was perfect and fit who we are as a business far better than anything we could’ve imagined. I highly recommend going to Selly for any and all of your design needs!

How we work

While each project is unique, most follow a natural flow from discovery to delivery.

1 Clarity Call

We start by getting clear on your business, your goals, your audience, and what “chosen” actually means for you and your business.

2 Position and Direction

Next, we shape the story and direction. Strategy and messaging first, then a visual path that fits your market and your guests.

3 Design and Refinement

This is where strategy and ideas take shape. We create and refine, gather feedback and reiterate to make sure we reach your goal.

4 Finalization and Delivery

Once approved, we package and deliver all final assets, ready for use across digital and print platforms in the real world!

5 Support and Growth

Our work doesn’t end with delivery. Need updates, refinements, or future design support? We’re here to help as your brand grows.

About Selly

Hi, I’m Selly! I started Ixora to help businesses grow with the right mix of creativity and intention. I’ve worked across different industries, but after partnering with Adventure Canada and its partners, I realized how much I enjoy helping connect people to experiences and places that change them.

I love figuring out what makes people tick, and that curiosity shapes everything I create. Good design isn’t just about looking nice—it needs a purpose and a plan to make an impact.

I’m always learning, experimenting, and asking questions. I don’t have all the answers, but I believe, as Marie Forleo says, “Everything is figureoutable.”
