Hi! My name is Linda...
...and I am a highly experienced, creative and detail-driven freelance designer. I bring three decades of design and layout experience to the projects I work on, while maintaining a fresh and vibrant approach.
I started my design career in magazine publishing in the late 1980s, when desktop publishing was in its infancy, working in-house for a national monthly magazine and newsletter publisher. This gave me a wealth of experience dealing with immoveable deadlines and fast turnarounds. After that I enjoyed creative roles in several Melbourne design studios, as well as in-house corporate roles.
In 2002 I launched my freelance career. I now live the life I love, and I love the life I live.
Over the years I have built up a range of fabulous clients, from state and local government, corporate, to small businesses. I get huge satisfaction helping clients achieve their design visions by taking their words and ideas and making them beautiful, eye-catching and effective.
I am meticulous, checking consistency, style and grammar while I work to create a polished and professional result. I happily span the giddy heights of highly creative design and illustration, to the equally important, but more practical page layout from corporate template.
I keep my rates highly competitive, because I am passionate about doing what I do, so call or email me for an estimate for your next project.
