I am a quality-driven independent graphic designer, who likes to work with my clients to solve problems, and deliver excellent creative and functional design. With over 25 years experience including 15 years at one of NZ’s top design agencies I have had the privilege to work on a huge range of creative projects across a wide range of sectors. My work has appeared in the New Zealand Design Awards, Art Directors and One Show Annuals.

With my mini schnauzer Georgie alongside, I now work from my home-base of Lincoln which is a historic university town located just outside of Christchurch, New Zealand. I have a mix of local and national clients.

As an independent designer I am able to take a personal and affordable approach, without the big overheads associated with traditional agencies. For larger projects I collaborate with a network of talented people, from a range of creative disciplines, to ensure the best possible project outcome.

What is my design process?

Understand
Let’s connect, either in person or online. First of all I need to understand your business, who you are, what you do and how you do it. What are you wanting to achieve with the new design work and how will we deliver that.

Concepts
I go away and do my magic! Presenting back to you with some design concepts. Great design is a collaboration so your input is always important.

Refine
Together we will refine that work until we have a product that you love.

What my clients say:

“Justine has a special gift when it comes to design. She has the uncanny ability to reach inside your mind and translate a jumble of thoughts into a cohesive vision. She has an amazing attention to detail, great style and goes above and beyond the scope of every project she works on. Her experience, skill and professionalism have been invaluable to the success of my own clients campaigns, translating design into real world, tangible results. I wholeheartedly recommend Justine to anyone needing a top level designer to elevate their business."
