Why work with Paper & Desk?

Because when working on a big project, like a publication, the last thing you need is added stress from issues like poor communication with the designer or missed deadlines. When clients praised my efficiency, support, and clear communication on big projects, I realised I had found my niche. Paper & Desk makes the design process smooth for you. I value collaboration, welcome feedback, and am dedicated to bringing your vision to life — and then some. So, if you're looking for a designer who's committed, approachable, and easy to work with, you're in the right place.

Client kudos

“We have only engaged Rachel for the first time and we were very happy with her design work. She was given the brief and she is very prompt working with a short deadline and changes. I will certainly recommend her to my colleagues or anyone looking for good design work. Thank you Rachel!”

“I was very happy with the signage designed for me by Rachel. Customers have complimented me on the signs on several occasions. In addition to designing the signage, she made some very insightful suggestions on how to use the designs for marketing purposes. I highly recommend her.”

– Rani V, Rani’s Cuisine

“I just want to say a big thank you for your professionalism and dedication. No task was ever too big for you and you were so efficient at putting the magazine together. Finally, I love the look of the mag. The colours, design and layout work really well… it is amazing. Thank you so much for all your hard work and enthusiasm!”

- Jo, Queensland Ambulance Service
