Hi there! I’m Louise and I love making people happy through graphic design. I am passionate about all things typography, layout and branding. My goal is to have my creativity play a part in making the world a better place.
I love design. So much. I work full-time as a graphic designer, and generally like to be as creative as I can. I sell my designs online and at local markets, and run an online blog about creativity and other passions, and volunteer at creative events - I told you, I just love design!
You’ll often see me scrawling away on my iPad, lettering my latest favourite lyrics, or jumping onto InDesign or Figma to lay up something new. Whatever it is, I love doing it!
I have a Bachelor of Design degree, majoring in Visual Communication Design with Honours.
I have an online store!
Typography and making people happy and two of my favourite things, so selling products that combine those two things is a dream come true!
I also love attending markets across Aotearoa to sell my designs there in person - connecting with people is something I adore, and being able to go to markets (when it’s safe to do so) is great fun!
I have had the opportunity to work for a variety of companies whose values align with mine. From small businesses and start-ups, to community based companies, to education, and local government and central government.
I want to make a real difference to the world with the creative skills that I have, I want to leave earth knowing that I improved lives and made things beautiful.
During the time Louise and I worked together, I found Louise always willing to help with any design work that I required. Louise is fast and accurate with the content she creates and able to juggle her workload to suit the needs of our team. She is a friendly, positive, and talented person and am more than happy to recommend her.

Louise is efficient and intuitive. She asks great questions so she can make effective design choices. It was a pleasure working with her and we are so happy with the final product!

What does a freelance project with Louise look like?
Firstly we connect and discuss the project - the expectations, requirements, and a brief. A contract will be written and signed, and a 50% deposit paid.
I will then do some research and brainstorming and come back with a moodboard to show how I imagine the style and feel of the design to be.
When we have agreed on the style and feel, I’ll create some rough concepts of the piece in a few different designs. We can discuss using one concept or combining multiple ones.
I will then continue working on it to perfect the design, this may require a bit of back-and-forth. Once the design is finalised, the last 50% of payment is made and final designs are delivered!
