Happy August!
It’s been a whirlwind 2024 here at Origami Graphics, with back-to-back 50-hour weeks on client projects from mid-April to mid-August.
I spent 3 weeks working at the Gold Coast, and got lunch with my brilliant on-call copywriter Heather from Heydays – then went to my friend and client Lhamo’s book launch for The Little Book of Shadows in Currumbin. Ducking back and forth to Brisbane to see family, I also met with two awesome Brisbane clients whose businesses and websites are launching soon.
When I got home to Canberra, I took on a wonderful Year 10 student from Sydney for work experience, did some impactful illustration work for the ACT Government, finished a major corporate illustration project I’d been in talks with since January, finally finalised and launched the site for Queanbeyan deli and cookery school Kitchen NV, and started playing a gobsmackingly-good video game on the Nintendo Switch – developed by one of my branding and logo design clients from 2020, Studio Drydock (all coming to the portfolio soon).
I also booked a flight back overseas, ready to return to Dublin after a small stint in early 2023 – and spend 2025 living in the land of saints and scholars while working remotely for Origami Graphics as usual.
Phew – that’s a lot!
But finally, peak EOFY season has started to calm down and spaces for small walk-in projects have opened back up again. Thank you to clients old and new for your patience during this hectic winter period.
Availability – Major Projects
At the moment, I’m taking bookings for major projects (6hrs per week or more required) from Tuesday, the 1st of October. However, if you’ve got a small job that can be done in a week – a Basic logo package, a flyer or business card design, a website SEO audit, some social media templates – I should be able to fit you in anytime now. Contact me to chat about what you need!
Availability – Annual Report Design
For annual report design, I only have 1 space left for a report commencing in October and due in November. All September and October annual report due dates are booked out with deposits paid and slots secured.
If you haven’t yet secured a graphic design agency to do your 2023/24 annual report, then get in touch now so I can secure that last place for you.
Grab-and-Go Design Packages: Closed (for now)
My affordable Grab-and-Go design packages were a winter-only special and are closed from September 1. If you’re interested in one of these services, send through an enquiry anyway and I’ll see what I can do if there’s any spare time available in my calendar.
Melbourne Clients – In-Person Meetings Available September 24 – 27
I’ll be in Melbourne from September 24 to September 27, and have already got a meeting scheduled with one of my annual report clients. If you’re a Melbourne-based client and would like to grab a coffee too, please let me know and I’ll get it arranged!
Sending prosperous energy to everyone as we approach spring and the end of Q1.
