Design should always be fabulous,
fresh and functional...

Each project is created with the client in mind.

It's important to get to know you, the brief,
and your expectations before sitting down and
coming up with concepts.

Creating something unique, that gives your
company and who you are a distinct look,
is what it's all about...

On time every time – and to your
budget

With over 15+ years experience as a graphic
designer, Kara works quickly and efficiently,
ensuring your project runs to deadline and budget.

Wedding invitation

This 2 spot colour wedding invitation had a die cut window on the front to reveal a 'secret garden' in keeping with the wedding venue in Queensland. The couple had both done extensive travel all over the world so wanted animals that represented that in the garden.
