With 20 years of experience in design and 15 years running my own studio, Kartia Designs, I’ve built a reputation for creating work that doesn’t just look good — it feels good. Based in Sandgate, Queensland (originally from Mackay), I lead a small but mighty team of four, crafting clear, compelling, and emotionally engaging design that tells your story.

Great design isn’t just about aesthetics. It’s about connection. It should make people feel something: curiosity, trust, excitement. That’s the kind of work I live for. Whether it’s branding, print, digital, or campaign work, I go the extra mile to help you stand out and show up with authenticity.

Alongside design, I bring deep expertise in marketing and brand strategy. I help clients not just look the part, but act with clarity and purpose in a crowded marketplace. From positioning and messaging to multi-channel campaigns, I help brands find their voice and amplify it with intention.

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of being mentored by some of the best in the business, including designers, copywriters, production managers and finished artists. I’ve also created campaigns for iconic brands like Myer, Subway, Cold Rock, McDonald’s, Pauls Milk, Mathers & Williams Shoes, Flight Centre, and Mentos.

My design style is: Simple. Clear. Minimalist.
There’s enough noise out there. I believe your brand should cut through it, not add to it.

When your message is clear and your visuals are aligned, your audience knows exactly who you are and what you offer. No pressure. No fluff. Just honest, strategic design and marketing that connects and converts.
