Astrid Blake is a visual creative, designer and consultant, passionate about colour.
I draw from two decades of design experience in working with world leaders in colour forecasting, and creating a luxury brand sold in the world's most exclusive retail stores.
I combine intuition and a holistic approach, a natural aesthetic sense and a commercial mind.
I help inspire brands and people and nurture their creative dreams,
tapping into the heart,
transforming them into a tangible reality.
This is carried out through my work as a creative consultant,
courses and luxury lifestyle label Alice & Astrid.
Themes and evocative colour palettes evolve, through the process of careful listening, considering, collating, editing, curating, refining and defining.
I work with the aim to bring enchantment to the world.
