Hi! I’m Chris Kirkby
^ Ipswich & Brisbane Graphic Designer + Artist
^ Quiet thinker, Avid Fantasy Reader & Dog Lover

It is my mission to make the world a brighter, bolder and more spectacular place to live and thrive.
I create the graphic design and illustrated building blocks that help strengthen and solidify your brand into something you can shout from the rooftops.
I don’t believe in cookie cutter solutions – through a process of research, discovery & refinement I deep dive into each project so that you can be sure that your final product is truly unique and bespoke to you.
As a freelance graphic designer with more than 15 years of experience, you can rely on a personalised, dedicated service with you at its centre.

How to Approach Your New Logo Design
So you have a business idea, you might even have registered the name and now you are thinking about what your logo will be (or maybe what your next substantial update will be). It can be very intimidating thinking about what this image is going to be, this thing that...
