GOOD GRAPHIC DESIGN IS GOOD BUSINESS
I am a freelance Graphic Designer and Art director known for my elegant approach to design, I have developed a reputation for delivering clean visual solutions for my clients, as well as providing a service they can count on. I am Brisbane based, but work remotely, and much of my work is done for long term clients that are based interstate.
Experienced Graphic Designers will “hit the ground running” as they are already familiar with what they should be doing based on their previous experiences. The stress of a looming deadline is also taken in our stride. We achieve more in a shorter amount of time and understand which skills are our strengths and weaknesses, and it is this understanding that will help us become better designers.
A designer’s job is to communicate a client’s brand and ideas. Where others will see perfect balance on a page, a great designer notices that 1 millimeter difference in spaces in the margin on the left and right. This is why meticulous Graphic Designers come up with exceptional results. It’s this eye for detail that gives them the ability to see things that regular people don’t.
I pride myself on my downto-earth approach and I will listen and work with you to develop your vision from initial concept to final artwork completion. In a world with quick turnaround and churn and burn design, I offer something different – design that is crafted with love and the attention to detail that your business deserves.
With the the prevalence of smartphones, email,dropbox and one on one video chat apps, the need to sit next to someone to communicate effectively has disappeared. For some, this may seem daunting, but be assured that I will help you with these processes. I am also available for face to face work meetings in Brisbane
THE ADVANTAGES OF HIRING A FREELANCE GRAPHIC DESIGNER
ALWAYS ONLINE
Freelance is a tough business, I work irregular hours to compete and often more than five days a week. Your project will have a much better chance of being pushed through quickly as I opt to work outside of traditional office hours.
DIRECT COMMUNICATION
I have direct communication with all of my clients, which gives them confidence that they are passing their requests onto the person who will actually be doing the job, rather than going though an account manager.
SPEED
Unlike an agency there’s no chain involved in getting your job created and changes can be done straight away rather than falling into the inbox of an agency’s Graphic Designer.
MY NETWORKS
Creatives stick together and I have worked with some of the best developers, illustrators, photographers and journalists in the business.
CREATIVELY INSPIRED BY …
Who We Are
Nature. Paper. Fashion. Interiors. Exteriors. Colour. Form. Function. A believer of the ‘less is more’ philosophy

ABOUT GG DESIGN
I am a highly skilled Graphic Designer with excellent communication skills living in Brisbane, Australia. I work remotely for the majority of my clients, who are littered across Australia and I continued to service these clients whilst I was living in Jerusalem in 2015. I created GG Design after a 15 year stint working for News Corp Australia in a variety of senior graphic design roles producing marketing and editorial material in both the metropolitan and community newspaper titles in Sydney and Brisbane. I also have a good grasp on retail catalogues having spent many years working for Super A-Mart producing catalogues and where I witnessed the first Mac in the office. I have upskilled constantly throughout the last few years making sure that I am still relevant in the ever changing technology in my industry. I also completed a range of digital courses as well as studying for a Certificate 4 in Web technology. I am a self appointed tech geek with an obsession for all things digital, which compliments my years in publishing nicely

STYLE GUIDE
A style guide is one of the most essential marketing items for a business. It can provide clear guidance to ensure consistency and communication among your team and will define your company’s branding. It will often reference logo usage, colours, visuals and font usage and can be circulated to businesses that work on and print your marketing material. By creating a detailed style guide, you ensure content is consistent, polished and recognizable. A well thought out style guide creates a recognizable and engaging voice with which your audience can form a more personal connection.

You will find many graphic designers on freelancer websites both in Australia and offshore that will have a very low hourly rate that will look enticing, be aware that they generallyhave little design experience. You may also end up hiring a graphic designer with a low hourly rate that takes twice as long as they should have to produce a creative projectand therefore the end cost will end up being the same as if they had hired an experienced graphic designer. The most simple design, can often be the most difficult and I like tobuild relationships with my clients and invest time, energy and effort in getting to know their business and their audience so that their creative project not only strengthens theirbusiness brand, but engages their customer. I have worked with large multinational companies through to startups and I prefer to quote on a job to job basis (my hourly rate is$80 an hour). I would welcome creating a quote for you, simply email me via the contact form or alternatively I can be contacted on 0488 780 330.
