HELLO THERE, I’M KIRSTEN

an optimistic, friendly

creative with a passion

for people and design

After over a decade of full-time employment in the creative industry, I decided to embark on the next chapter of my design journey and start my own business – iMac and my new puppy (Ollie) in hand.

As a problem solver, I am not one to shy away from a challenge, always treating it as an opportunity to learn and grow. I also understand the importance of craft and attention to detail, working with intention to complete projects in an organised, practical and holistic manner. When it comes to committing to a job, I take full responsibility for following things through to completion as I see my work as an extension of myself.

I enjoy working with my clients – building authentic, meaningful relationships – ensuring that they feel confident from start to finish.

a few kind words

“Kirsten is an absolute pleasure to work with. She is a good listener, understands briefs and asks questions up-front where she is not clear. She executes with sharp attention to detail and shows great respect to creativity relative to brand positioning. We have loved the energy that Kirsten brought to her team and our environment and we count it as a blessing to have worked with her on-and-off over the past decade.”

JODI ROBERTSON

“Kirsten has been a valuable resource for The Brand Collective when we have had overflow work. Her ability to step in and fit into the team and agency environment as if she was always a part of it was applaudable. She brought with her a positive attitude and willingness to step in wherever needed, together with her fun personality. Working with Kirsten has been a pleasure and we would not hesitate to call on her again.”
