Anna designed our wedding invitations and stationery from scratch. She gave great suggestions for design and font, and was very prompt with delivering mock-ups. Anna provided a range of quotes for printing, and these were explained well. We had some issues with materials, and she was quick to suggest alternatives and troubleshoot the problems.
Thank you for making our ideas become reality
The resulting invitations were exactly as we had hoped, and we have had many compliments on them. Thank you for making our ideas become reality Anna!

We have worked with Anna on a number of different projects – big and small. She somehow manages to be able to take the jumbly mess I can see in my head and turn it into something that looks fantastic! Every time a winner. She understands what we want in our designs- simple and effective (no caps and no brushstroke). Nothing ever seems to be a problem and even my ‘time-sensitive’ requests are met with a “sure thing, chicken wing” and before you know it – Voila!

​Thank you Anna By Design. You made the artwork process pain free and not only understood what we were wanting to achieve, but did it for puppy cuddles ​as payment!

​Anna is not just a really talented designer – she is also very client focussed and works hard to truly understand the client’s needs and develop concepts that meet these. She also often adds in her experience by tweaking your ideas in ways you never thought of, to end up with really inspired designs. I’ve seen her work to tight client brief and also design concepts when the client was really stuck and unsure what they needed. Added to this is her careful consideration of how you’ll use the design – ​she makes damn sure it’s practical for you too.
She makes damn sure it’s practical for you too
Every piece of work Anna has done for me has been clearly scoped, delivered on top with design that exceeded expectations. Every early stage company or small business needs a design partner who doesn’t just “make pretty stuff” but makes relevant, beautiful and functional design. I can’t recommend Anna highly enough. ​
Melissa Davies Silver Delta – Consulting & Coaching
We commissioned Anna as the designer to completely revamp our website and make the online ordering process easier for our customers. Anna took control from the start by sitting with us and understanding our end goal, what we liked about our existing site and what was on our wishlist including showing us examples of other sites.
Increased web traffic, monthly sales increased significantly and customer feedback was exceptional
The result is above expectations and has increased web traffic, monthly sales increased significantly and customer feedback was exceptional. We highly recommend Anna if you are thinking of updating or creating a website for your business.
