My name is Kyra - I am a creative soul, a forward thinker, a thriller & fantasy reader, a mum to my gorgeous son Levi, and a gal who can never decide which hair colour to stick with.

I’ve always had a deep love for creativity — whether it was sketching, rearranging rooms just to see what felt “right,” designing vision boards, or designing moodboards for imaginary brands long before I ever started a business. I’ve always had this itch to make things better.  Eventually, I realised my love for aesthetics and problem-solving could actually be my job. And just like that, Valiant Design Studio, now known as Ivory Ember Studio, was born.

As a one-woman studio, every project is personally designed, managed, and delivered by me. There are no account managers, outsourced designers, or layers of communication. This allows for a more collaborative, intentional experience where your business, goals, and ideas remain at the centre of every decision.

Becoming a mum has taught me the value of slowing down, embracing intentionality, and focusing on what truly matters. These are lessons that have shaped not only my life but also the way I approach my work. That’s why I now choose to work with one client at a time, allowing me to fully focus on your project. It’s a slower approach in a world that often values speed, but it’s one that results in stronger brands, more meaningful experiences, and designs that stand out rather than blend in.

My goal is simple: to create a brand and online presence that feels aligned with who you are, resonates with the people you’re trying to reach, and gives you the confidence to show up wholeheartedly in your business.
