Event Services

In addition to graphic design, I have a special interest in event design. This includes conceptualization for events in their entirety, as well as individual elements that contribute to the creative execution. My process usually starts with a client presentation or pitch document which - depending on the needs of the client - would include original ideas, reference material, a branding or theming concept and a number of completed design elements. From there, I would also take on the production of the proposed items - creating designs where necessary, sourcing and managing suppliers and lastly, having all items produced and installed for the event itself. Some examples would include:

Special event items, perfectly manufactured and finished according to the concept or theme of an event can be extremely effective. Often required in large quantities, I conceptualise, design and oversee production for items as varied as hand-sewn fabric menus to hand-painted base plates.

Gifting at events has become almost a requirement, and the bar is being set ever higher for more original, memorable gifts while budgets can often be restrictive. I love taking on this challenge, coming up with ideas to fill swag-bags with items that guests will love! Wherever possible, I also create custom packaging to make gifts personal and special. Once decided on, I source, purchase and package items delivering to events ready-to-go!

Creating interesting print and paper items for events is tremendous fun, and I love to turn simple items into something tactile and special wherever I can. Paper craft is especially effective when done en-masse - as with hundreds of menus - or on an oversized scale, such as a full-size origami wall.
