25.01.2022 When I launched my first brand @eviekini I was in a constant state of panic trying to launch everything by a certain date ~ November 13th 2016. To try and coordinate international manufacturers to stick to this date, was almost impossible. I was just 21 years of age, strapped for cash, launching 32 styles and moving every mountain possible trying to reach this date Now as I am moving into the second phase of this business, I can see the beauty in taking things slow... and producing garments with sustainable practices None of the above garments will ever be made, but taking the time to sketch and fully develop multiple ideas before deciding on just one, has been such a blessing. Taking it back to the very beginning and understanding the reasons that I started designing garments in the first place @ Mermaid Beach, Queensland, Australia See more

22.01.2022 Hello, it’s been a really hot minute since you last heard from me So I wanted to give you all an update! For the last 6 weeks I have been heavily investing in my education + my business + my mindset. I honestly thought that when I threw that black graduation cap up in the air for my bachelor in marketing + my bachelor in graphic design that my ‘formal’ education had been ticked off my to do list. That was it, I was ready to enter my industry and never look back. Bu...t when I decided to open my own design studio, I realised I wanted to up skill in really specific areas. First, I joined @marnistuart to continue my fashion degree and to learn how to research and analyse historical time periods and how to hone in inspiration from these trends in history. Then I joined @morganrapp for Design Biz Mastery to learn how to master my mind, sales calls and processes to up scale my seaside design studio. Then when I realised I couldn’t do it all, I engaged the starry-eyed @melindaharcourtcopywriting to help me nail all things copy to stop me road blocking my own website build (can anyone else relate? Oops)! These last 6 weeks have been all about turning in and investing in myself... oh my, it feels so dang good See more

19.01.2022 We all need a little kindness

18.01.2022 My clients aren't going to care in 5-10 years if their brand was trendy They care that their unique stories, businesses and inspirations are taken into consideration and turned into a brand that turns peoples heads They care that their brand governs how they approach every aspect of their business... They care that they see themselves in their brand in a powerful way that helps them understand who they truly are and where they fit in their niche They care that they have a successful business that allows them to live the life they have always dreamed of They care that they are profitable, that they stand out from the rest of their niche and feel like their brand was truly custom built with the problems they are trying to solve I build distinctive spaces for my clients businesses to live in See more

18.01.2022 Whippin’ up some beautiful business card designs to go along with this new brand wouldn’t some of these patterns be so beautiful as tissue paper or even a box design?! Seeing the entire packaging experience come together is one of my favourite things to do as a designer

16.01.2022 It’s so important to own your own story I used to be so terrified that I wouldn’t be booked because of my love for colours. I’m not your typical graphic designer that loves the monochromatic masses and simple logos and designs. I adore creative colour palettes, handcrafted details and sprinkles of sunshine throughout every piece. But in my head I made up this story that potential clients would see me as less professional and legit if I embraced my true style. ... I’ve spent a considerable amount of time in my life being deeply uncomfortable in my own skin... I’m nervous, a little awkward and I never quite fit in. And this feeling of unworthiness has crept into my businesses over the years. But then I realised, it isn’t just me. We all create a story that we tell ourselves to hold us back. Whether it’s your age, experience, your anxious tendencies, the fact you’re still side hustling or even that feeling that you’re not completely sure what’s next. Just embrace it. Your world will change when you simply embrace the things that make you, YOU! Those quirks and mannerisms are what set you apart from everyone else. Your uniqueness is your superpower. Take those stories that you have convinced yourself that are holding you back and be honest with them. These are your strengths. Being open and honest with your community, they want ALL of you, not just your highlight reel See more

16.01.2022 Working through the Design Biz Mastery course with @morganrapp I was working through these question this morning and I thought that putting these out into the world keeps me accountable So here I go... (insert nervous giggles here) How do you define success? What does success look like to you? What does winning look like to you? What does success mean to you? What does your life look like? ~ Success looks like having enough. Doing what I love (being cre...ative), full time, without the pressure of wondering if I will have enough money for the week, month, year! ~ Doing what I love and feeling guilt free, because I am able to provide for my future family and life while still filling up my own cup. ~ Working with clients that I love and who I connect with on a value-based level. They resonate with my work and choose me for my expertise. ~ Living in a home that I have purchased for myself, that has a bohemian styled office that is full of my designs ~ artworks, clothing, prints, etc. ~ Being able to purchase solely from Australian based business who love what they do and who operate in a sustainable manner. We don't need to contribute to fast fashion and chains, support local. ~ Launching an online course that helps smaller businesses across the world start + create their own label. This will provide a passive income that allows me to travel and see more of the world with how I deem fit. See more

15.01.2022 A sweet new project we have been working on Crafting multiple business card options to suit this little team

15.01.2022 Clients always come to me and say - How do I get customers? How do my customers find me? Drumroll please Instagram Instagram has so much opportunity and can help you to craft a sustainable and growing business. But you have to prioritise being consistent and showing up as authentically as possible. Showing up and doing, saying and showing posts that aren’t aligned with your true values becomes exhausting. Our village is clever, they crack on quickly if you are putting on a facade that you don’t believe in Promise me this you will show today as your authentic self

12.01.2022 August has been a big month Last Friday I pulled a 7:00am til 10:00pm day just to be able to make my girlfriends wedding on the Saturday So when my partner and I saw that the weather on Monday was going to be perfect, we took a last minute trip off the grid to Double Island... It felt so incredibly good to be disconnected from the world and just to absorb the sunsets and sunrises that came our way Double Island, we LOVE you PS. Oops sorry for all of the story spam See more

06.01.2022 "Hello, I'm looking for a quote for JUST a logo please?" Your brand is more than JUST a logo. Brand patterns, customised typography, brand marks and logo variations collectively come together to create your inner brand voice Your brand will appear in multiple channels and avenues, meaning creating visual interest across all of these is incredibly important... Let's look at it another way. Let's think about your wardrobe... does your wardrobe include just ONE outfit? One outfit for the beach, for wines with girlfriends, for business events, for picnics with loved ones and for your little brothers primary school graduation? NO Your wardrobe is filled with diversity to suit your occasion, a combination of outfits that all share your story through colours, styles and cuts. Your brand is the same and YOUR BRAND deserves diversity Just a logo can't tell your brands full story or set you up for success, great branding will always include a mixture of elements to really bring your growing brand to life. So next time you ask for 'just a logo' really think about how your brand deserves so much more See more

06.01.2022 A sneak peak of a very special project Nothing makes me happier than meeting fellow makers and dreamers, helping them grow their biz through the visuals. My clients passion and enthusiasm inspires me to whip up the magic Can’t wait you see this project come to life @nunchi_oils

04.01.2022 Take note of which clients and customers bring you light Be intentional with who you want to work with, so be thoughtful when deciding on your target village (market) or dream clients. Working with brands and people you love will make a world of difference to your business and will bring light into your life With brands popping up all over the internet and with access to an infinite audience online, this opens up doors to millions of people to work with ...and buy from. This gives us the unique opportunity to choose to only work with our dream clients (and to choose those we don’t want to work with) and this will increase your passion in your work, mental wellbeing, income and professional development We have the power to choose our ideal target village... those people and brands you love and trust instinctively. Use that insight and mindfulness to target them and speak to them authentically, they will come... trust me See more

03.01.2022 I see the sun, and if I don’t see the sun, I know it’s there. And there’s a whole life in that, in knowing that the sun is there Allow yourself to give but most importantly receive support today and everyday because the heaviest things in life get lighter when you share them #RUOK? Nothing else for ‘R U Ok?’ day has resonated with me quite so deeply, than this Instagram story from @tiah_ ! Thank you beauty for sharing... Ps. A beautiful little brand mark created for the team at @chatswoodcontent See more

03.01.2022 Does anyone else miss social interaction as a freelancer? Before going full time with my seaside studio in Mermaid Beach, I worked full time for the Billabong Group in an open plan office. Surrounded by humans, iconic surfing moments, the silent hum of old Window computers, the creaking racks of clothes, the chatter from the in-house cafe and the loud footsteps of someone sprinting to the Photo Studio for a last minute request was extremely tiring. Especially being apart off ...a high pressure environment that had global KPIS and deadlines. Being 1 of 30 in the e-commerce team and being a natural introvert, left me feeling mentally drained and exhausted. I loved my colleagues, but I would have to mentally prepare so I didn’t feel quite so overwhelmed. Jump to eight months later and I’m working from home (with just my pup) and I desperately crave human interaction. Morning walks + afternoon wines with my girlfriends is the highlight of my week, I tell them every thought that pops into my head (sorry in advance) and babble on endlessly, thankful for the interaction. I don’t feel lonely working from home, but I do miss gossiping with co workers, sharing my professional wins and the general chit chat that comes with working in an office. Who else can relate?
