My name is Rachel Fung. I'm a brand designer and Squarespace expert with 25 years of experience across packaging, branding, print, and web — and a genuine obsession with getting the details right.

I work as Creative Director at Made by Dave, where we build design-led Squarespace websites for organisations that want something that doesn't look off-the-shelf. Recent clients include the London Diocesan Board for Schools, global litigation firm TheJudge, and pharmacy software company Apotec. I also take on brand identity and print work independently through Rachel Fung Design — logos, identity systems, packaging, and print collateral for clients who need proper brand thinking alongside their web presence.

Earlier in my career I worked agency-side on packaging and brand projects for household names including Douwe Egberts, Heineken, and Diageo. That grounding in rigorous brand standards is something I bring to every project, however large or small.

If you're looking for a Squarespace website, a brand identity, or both — I'd love to hear what you're working on.
