Let's connect over email!
Say hello to Fellow Places. I’ve been a freelance designer for over 10 years now, working across the travel and ecommerce world. During that time I’ve dipped into pretty much every corner of design: graphic design, web design, UX/UI, branding, merchandising, digital products, and more recently, apparel and cruise merchandise through Owenplaces.
A few of you have already supported the Owenplaces shop over the years by picking up my holographic magnets and enamel pins. Honestly, thank you. Seeing something that started as a small creative idea become recognised within the cruise community has meant a lot.
But lately, I’ve been feeling the pull to bring all the things I love together into one place.
Not just cruising.
Not just design.
Not just content creation.
All of it.
So… Fellow Places was born.
The Fellow Places Manifesto
Built for creators who want more than content.
Branding, merch, digital products, websites, packaging, visuals. Designed with intention, built with experience, and made to feel like a natural extension of your brand.
Fellow Places is a creator-focused design studio built for people who want to go further than posting online. People who want to create something real. Something recognisable. Something people remember.
Why?
Because content moves fast now. Feeds refresh constantly. Trends disappear overnight. And in a world where AI can generate a logo, website, or social graphic in under five minutes, everything is starting to blur together.
You’ve seen it.
The copy-and-paste brands.
The recycled aesthetics.
The graphics that technically look polished, but somehow feel completely empty.
Fast, easy, instantly forgettable. That’s not what we do.
We believe the things people actually connect with still come down to taste, personality, and intention. The details. The feeling. The difference between something that looks generated and something that feels genuinely considered.
The Owen Places Case Study
A lot of what Fellow Places has become started quietly in the background through our own projects.
Designing my own cruise merchandise.
Building my online store.
Creating visuals for travel content.
Learning what people actually connected with.
Over time, we started noticing the same thing happening again and again.
People weren’t just asking about the content anymore.
They wanted to know who designed the magnets.
Who built the websites.
Who created the branding.
Who made the merch feel different.
Slowly, we became the go-to for creators who wanted more than “good enough.”
More than templates.
More than a logo made in five minutes.
That shift became the foundation for Fellow Places.
A design concierge service for creators
At its core, Fellow Places is pretty simple. If you’re a creator and you need design help, that’s where we come in.
Whether it’s custom magnets for your next cruise, business cards, media kits, digital products, apparel, packaging, or a full online store, we help creators turn ideas into things people can actually connect with.
Not just content people scroll past.
Fellow Places Services:
Creator Branding
From logos and brand guidelines to thumbnails, social assets, and campaign visuals, this is about creating a consistent identity across everything you put out into the world.
Not just something that looks good once.
Something people instantly recognise.
Merch & Apparel
Merch should feel like an extension of your brand, not an afterthought.
From t-shirts and sweatshirts to enamel pins, stickers, and accessories, we create products your audience actually wants to wear, collect, and keep around.
Holographic Magnets
At this point, they’re basically our trademark.
The original Owenplaces holographic magnets have travelled across cruise ships, cabins, fridges, and communities all over the world. Often imitated, never duplicated.
Now they’ve found a new home at Fellow Places.
Web & Store Design
Whether it’s a blog, portfolio, creator storefront, or full ecommerce experience, we design websites that feel clean, intentional, and easy to use.
Built to reflect your brand properly.
Built to convert.
Built to grow with you.
Digital Products
Guides, ebooks, downloads, templates, media kits.
We design digital products to feel structured, thoughtful, and genuinely worth coming back to. Not just something quickly exported and forgotten about.
The best creator brands don’t stop at content.
They build worlds around what they create. And that’s exactly what Fellow Places is here for. To help creators build something real. Something lasting. Something worth remembering.
