Podcast guest on…

  • Her easy-going delivery was super informative and clear

    “Krishna's visual branding workshop gave me a thorough, easy-to-follow walk-through of the basics of visual branding.

    Her easy-going delivery was super informative and clear on all the branding essentials. She also delved into the questions we need to ask ourselves to create a brand that goes way beyond picking a logo, font and a few colours and that truly reflects what we stand for.

    Even better, she got us to work through those questions there and then - and was on hand to help if we got stuck. So, if you're scratching your head about how to get on top of your visual branding, book yourself in for Krishna's next session.”

    - Tiffany Bown, Cambridge Network Visual Branding Event Participant

SPEAKER BIO

Founder & Creative Director, Krishna Solanki Designs

Since 2019, I’ve been building KSD into Cambridge’s leading Squarespace and brand design studio. I’ve built my career by jumping headfirst into challenges and proving that creativity, well-defined processes and a confident approach can create extraordinary results.  

As a recognised Squarespace Circle Member and Marketplace Expert, I've had the pleasure of working with some brilliant clients, from established names like Cambridge University and Hachette UK to innovative startups and independent businesses across sectors. And I love bringing this experience to life for others.

I share what I've learnt (often the hard way!) through dynamic and interactive sessions everywhere from the global Squarespace Circle event in New York to intimate Cambridge gatherings. My focus is making web design accessible for everyone – because good design has the power to connect us all.

Come for the practical design strategies, stay for the honest stories, and leave with knowledge you’ll use.
