So, what’s the process?
Direction
The process kicks off with a clear direction. We chat through your goals, audience and ideas, and I'll shape a creative approach that’s suited to your brand before any design work begins.
Design
After our consultation, we will define and confirm the creative and art direction that best support your goals. I’ll then start designing, keeping you posted throughout.
Delivery
Once the final design is approved, I'll finalise your files for print, web or wherever they need to live. Plus you’ll have my support after delivery, with additional services available if needed.
Meet Rachel, founder of Paper & Desk
I’m a graphic designer and publication specialist with over a decade of experience in design and creative direction.
I help founders, businesses, and government clients in Brisbane, Sydney, and Canberra create publications and marketing assets that meet the brief, are on brand, and are delivered on time.
I like to keep things simple. You’ll deal directly with me from start to finish, with clear communication along the way and plenty of room to share feedback. I want the end result to look great, do what it needs to do and work within your deadlines. My clients often tell me I’m easy to work with, responsive and reliable, which is exactly how I think a design project should feel.
With experience across industries including fashion, lifestyle, real estate, health, education, research, resources, consulting, horticulture, agriculture, psychology and events, I bring a broad perspective to every project to create designs that engage and stand out.
If you’re ready to work with a designer who just gets things, and gets on with it, I would love find out more about how I can help you.
