A Whole Year!

Oops. Look at that.

Well I guess you could say time flies when you're having fun!

It's been a whole year since I posted last, and what a year it has been. I moved to Batemans Bay for a job, had a cute little apartment & a great view. But hey, that didn't work out at all. So after 6 months I moved back home! Got a new job, had lots of adventures, started sub-contracting and working from home, Christmas came along, then New Year, reached the one year milestone with some spunk who decided I was worth hanging around for a while (was that embarrassing, Dion?), the end of January, in the process of finding a place to live with the afore-mentioned 'spunk'... And now we're here. (Me) Trying to write a relevant blog post, (You) trying to figure out why you're still reading it...

Here's why.

Because you need design. Just one design, multiple designs, designs you never knew you needed until now, designs you still don't know you need but I'm going to convince you that you do. Designs for your new business, designs for your old stale 'word art created, out of date brochure & logo' business. You need designs that yell "LOOK AT ME!!!" without going to the extent of hiring the guy that used to do the Harvey Norman ads.

Watch this space for more reasons & more fun loving conversations between me & the internet!

In the mean time here are some of my latest creations.



Just a little bit of typography, I can do custom typography for anything you need.


Business Cards I designed for Matilda Lawns, complete with green edges by lovely Dee. 



A design challenge for some fun at work.

Print Ad


Ad for Urban Outfitters Necklaces. My own photography & a little bit of typographic skill, if I do say so myself. And this is the wonderful outcome that will be featured in my Magazine.

Stationary & Leave Behind







The stationary set for Grace Simpson Design (business card, with compliments slip and letterhead) & a leave behind piece with samples of my work for job interviews. I'm really happy with how they turned out. It's very much my "style" & a little bit colourful.

Mouth Watering Labels


As part of my Portfolio & Advanced Typography Class, I've produced these labels for some
delicious & healthy concoctions. The handwritten typeface was designed by yours truly.

It's a little out of my comfort zone, but I did manage to sneak a bit of clean & simple into the label design. I'm actually really proud of this one. I'm especially loving the crisp, pale green on the black. Now to get it all printed & onto those packages for a photo shoot... and maybe a snack!

Retail Space Vision

In my Advertising & Branded Environment class we were asked to brand a space that would become a store that provides a service & to create everything from the name to the space model. This is the first part of the assessment.
