Meet Katy — The Creative Director Helping Bold Brands Stand Out With Purpose
Katy Ennis-Hargreaves is the Creative Director behind BOLDISM®, a Yorkshire-based boutique design studio specialising in strategic branding, packaging, and creative design for businesses ranging from ambitious start-ups to global brands. Operating as a micro-agency, Katy has built BOLDISM® around a simple but powerful belief: the most memorable brands are those that have the courage to express who they truly are.
At the heart of Katy’s work is a passion for unapologetic self-expression, strategic thinking, and creating brands that people genuinely connect with. She believes branding should be more than a logo or visual identity, it should communicate purpose, spark emotion, and give businesses the confidence to stand apart in an increasingly crowded world.
Through BOLDISM®, Katy partners with brands that have something to say and something to stand for. By combining bold creativity with commercial strategy, she creates distinctive identities that not only capture attention but also build lasting recognition and sustainable growth. Her philosophy is simple: give brands enough personality to be remembered, enough strategy to succeed, and enough courage that they never blend into the background.
Alongside leading BOLDISM®, Katy is also a board member of Wilsons Republic, the Huddersfield-based Community Interest Company that brings together creatives from every discipline and stage of their careers. Through talks, events, networking opportunities, and its popular Creative Bubbles sessions, Wilsons Republic creates spaces where creative people can learn from one another, build relationships, and support the growth of Yorkshire’s thriving creative community. Katy’s involvement reflects her commitment not only to building brands, but also to strengthening the creative industry itself.
Inspired by fearless creatives including Vivienne Westwood, Jade Purple Brown, Anthony Burrill, Malika Favre, and Trinny Woodall, Katy admires those who combine creativity with conviction. She is particularly drawn to people who use design, expression, and personality to challenge convention, inspire conversation, and create work that has genuine cultural and commercial impact.
But Katy’s mission extends far beyond design. She is passionate about giving businesses the confidence to embrace what makes them different, believing that authenticity is one of the strongest competitive advantages any brand can possess.
Her mindset is simple but powerful: the brands that leave a lasting impression are the ones brave enough to be themselves.
Three Words To Describe Katy: Bold. Determined. Human.
