Lily de la Haye

Written By Rachel Fung MBD

My journey to booking my first West End job took the best part of 7 years. For each audition round, year after year I would see Lydia to work on the material. She not only gave me the practical skills to accurately sing a score I thought was far above my ability, her unwavering faith in me kept me going! Lydia had always said that she wouldn’t go to see the show until I was in it - her confidence in me was that strong. I’m delighted to say her patience finally paid off! Having her in the audience for my first performance in the role was an incredibly special moment. Everyone needs a mentor like Lydia in their life, I feel so lucky to have her in mine.

Lily was in Phanton of the Opera for 3 years covering the role of Carlotta.

My name is Rachel Fung. I'm a brand designer and Squarespace expert with 25 years of experience across packaging, branding, print, and web — and a genuine obsession with getting the details right.

I work as Creative Director at Made by Dave, where we build design-led Squarespace websites for organisations that want something that doesn't look off-the-shelf. Recent clients include the London Diocesan Board for Schools, global litigation firm TheJudge, and pharmacy software company Apotec. I also take on brand identity and print work independently through Rachel Fung Design — logos, identity systems, packaging, and print collateral for clients who need proper brand thinking alongside their web presence.

Earlier in my career I worked agency-side on packaging and brand projects for household names including Douwe Egberts, Heineken, and Diageo. That grounding in rigorous brand standards is something I bring to every project, however large or small.

If you're looking for a Squarespace website, a brand identity, or both — I'd love to hear what you're working on.
