About

Hello. I'm Louiza Cookson-Rabouhi - a passionate creative director, designer and brand storyteller, working with new and established brands around the world.

I have strong analytical skills, a commercial mindset and the ability to collaborate with stakeholders to drive profits and growth.

I’m a hands-on practitioner of design and have extensive expertise in devising and delivering brand strategies, marketing campaigns, brand identities and guidelines, website designs, brand activations, packaging, illustration, advertising, social media, typography, photography and videography.

See my portfolio for examples of my work with a range of clients - or get in touch for a chat, I'd love to learn about your business.

My story

Before establishing my own studio I worked as creative director at an agency specialising in hospitality and at an award-winning digital consultancy.

I attended University of the Arts London (UAL), studying media and communications, and later photography and styling. After graduation I worked in London before heading North to work remotely.

I was born and raised in the North East. My Dad is Algerian and my Mam is a Geordie. When growing up our home was always full of flavoursome food, Arabic art and colourful language.

My passions include design and photography, singing, playing guitar and autoharp, wild swimming, and fitness.

I live in Lancaster with my husband Guy and our children - Oscar, Mateo and Mimi.

I'm a founder of Women In Tech and a chapter host of Ladies, Wine & Design.

How I work

I'm passionate about delivering outstanding work that achieves a superb return on investment. I can work on a short-term project or on a longer-term basis.

I'm especially proud of the creative processes I've refined over the years which help me get the best results. I believe in honest communication, mutual trust and close collaboration.
