Branding support

Do you need some extra support to promote your brand or project?

Working together, we can create a set of custom designs for web banners, social media templates, email signatures, brochures, pull up banners, illustrations, fact sheets.  They can even be setup in Canva for your team to edit easily in the future!

Publication design

Annual reports, Impact reports, Sustainability reports or a project launch? 

Publication’s can feel like a huge project to take on. Having worked on many publications – long format to shorter briefing documents, I’m here to support you through the process of creating one of these important documents.

Design Retainers

Design retainers give you budget predictability and priority access to me as your designer.

You choose the number of hours you want each month, and every package includes a monthly strategy call to plan and prioritise the work.

Engaging design that brings the stories of communities, campaigns and brands to life.

Victorian Equal Opportunity and Human Rights Commission

In January 2025, the VEOHRC released their Progress Evaluation Audit for the inquiry into workplace equality at Ambulance Victoria. Working with the team at VEOHRC, I created a series of infographics to convey the findings.

Switchboard Annual Report 2025

Switchboard Victoria

Over the last eight years, I have worked with Switchboard Victoria to create their Annual Report with both design and illustration support. Over this time, the organisation has grown enormously. An Annual Report that connects with both community and key stakeholders of the organisation has always been a key part of the design brief and delivery.
