Specialty areas: Graphic Design :: Corporate Branding/Logos :: Pre Press :: Magazine :: Large Format Graduating from Qantm College in 2005 with a Diploma in Graphic Design & Cert III in Multimedia, Roxanne fell into sign writing at Braggs Signs on the Sunshine Coast. The industry was challenging and an excellent opportunity to broaden her experience.
Turning her attention to pre press, Roxy utilised the flexibility of Graphic Design and went overseas. Originally immigrating from South Africa, traveling was and always is the best inspiration and an eye opener to a much larger design industry.
Since then she has settled on the beautiful Sunny Coast and started her own business, Blankanvas – digital printing on canvas with a twist, works at a design agency and freelances for the Creative Collective.
When she is not hard at work, she is hard at play combining surfing, photography/art and travel.
Roxanne hopes to bring a little extra something to the ‘collective’!

Specialty areas: Creative :: Branding :: Advertising :: Marketing :: Design Amy's passion for her profession is the key to her creativity. This drive to produce original concepts and compositions is further complemented by her extensive design and pre-press experience. Whilst completing a Bachelor of Design, Amy studied the core principles of effective visual communication: a balance of engaging aesthetics and deliberate marketing mechanics. Applying this premise to all creative campaigns, Amy is consistently rewarded with superior design solutions.
Amy has enjoyed a career of diverse opportunities, entering into the industry as a packaging and corporate designer before branching out into the arenas of retail advertising, brand development and freelance promotional projects. Now running her own freelance agency, day-to-day business means making the most of her initiative, positive attitude and excellent communication skills to deliver personalised and professional service. Amy is always up for a challenge and her clients agree that she is motivated, reliable and able to adjust to shifting priorities and deadlines.
Based in Brisbane, Amy is partial to the quiet life of the suburbs but occasionally indulges in the cultural entertainment and shopping experiences on offer in the city centre. When she isn't meeting friends for coffee, walking her dog or heading to the cinema, Amy likes to relax by curling up with a good book or getting back to her creative roots of traditional illustration and fine-art. Amy is excited to add her expertise to the combined talents of the Creative Collective.
