ABOUT

Gemma Johnson

Precision-led. Design-driven. Built for longevity.

I founded Gem Media® to bring a new calibre of thinking to brand-building - one that balances elegance with systems, and vision with discipline.

My background spans science, environmental systems and engineering - but it’s the application of structured logic to business that sets our work apart. I bring long-term clarity to what often feels like a fast, chaotic digital space.

This studio isn’t about chasing trends. It’s about building brands with staying power — grounded in intelligence, elevated by design and scaled through operational excellence.

Every client we work with is building something that matters. I make sure the digital foundation supports that ambition - beautifully, sustainably and strategically.

— Founder & Principal Strategist, Gem Media®

OUR APPROACH

01. Discovery & Strategy

Before we design anything, we get clear on everything. We uncover your brand essence, goals, audience, and market — then map out a tailored strategy to guide the project.

→ This phase sets the tone for a refined, aligned result.

02. Creative Direction

This is where your vision takes shape. We develop the visual and structural direction, grounded in your strategy.

→ This step ensures everything feels cohesive, intentional, and uniquely you.

03. Design & Build

With direction in place, we bring your brand to life. From brand identity systems to custom web and Shopify design, everything is crafted with precision and ease.

→ Feedback is collaborative and streamlined — no overwhelm, no endless rounds.

04. QA & Pre-Launch

We’re with you right to the finish line. Once everything is tested and approved, we guide you through launch, providing tools, training and support to help you go live with confidence.

05. Post-Launch Strategy & Implementation

After launch, we offer ongoing strategy and implementation. Whether you need consulting, updates or ideas for growth — we’re here as a trusted partner.

Your brand deserves more than ordinary.

Our work helps brands lead — not follow, making even your most ambitious goals feel within reach.
