MARINE GRAPHIC DESIGN

Helping ocean-connected brands look legit, feel confident, and stop mixing fonts like it’s a 2009 cocktail party.

I offer three signature services to help your business show up like the pro you are. When your brand feels right, your business flows better.

That’s the Dolphamine effect.

Brand Identity

For founders ready to break the mold and build a brand customers’ remember. Craft a brand that actually means something — with strategy, design, and a visual identity that sticks.

  • Brand Strategy – Establish a strong foundation with clear positioning, messaging, and long-term direction, so your brand stands out and attracts the right audience with confidence

    Brand Identity –     A complete visual identity with logos, colors, typography, and patterns that make your brand instantly recognizable

    Social Media Templates –     Professionally designed, on-brand graphics that make marketing effortless, boost engagement, and strengthen brand recognition

    Brand Guidelines Booklet –     A playbook for consistency, including visual rules and photo direction to maintain your brand’s aesthetic across all platforms

  • Investment starts at NZD$7K+

    Because every client’s needs and business goals are different, I customise each quote based on your specific requirements.

Creative Partner

For businesses who want to stay consistent and look sharp — month after month. Ongoing design support to keep your content, comms, and campaigns on course — without the scramble.

  • Whether you need a steady hand on your visual content, ongoing design support for campaigns and comms, or just want to keep things cohesive across platforms, I’ll be your on-call creative sidekick so you can stay focused on running the operation.

    Common deliverables:

    • Monthly graphic design support

    • Email newsletter design + content

    • Social content + templates

    • Print or digital collateral

    • Design updates or campaign creative

    Ideal for busy marinas, regatta organisers, marine educators, and nonprofits that need consistent, reliable support without the overhead of an in-house team.

    What you’ll get

    Priority access → skip the queue and get faster turnaround on your projects.

    • Flexible deliverables → use your hours across branding tweaks, ad design, signage, social content, or campaign graphics and so much more!

    • Consistent momentum → no more stop–start marketing that depends on you or one of your team having time to fit it in and DIY (and make something that you know could be better)

    • Strategic input → not just execution, but a strategic plan that fits in with your business goals, and where you want your business to go. I’ll help your brand and communication strategy get you there quicker — always the extra set of eyes on your brand’s bigger picture. And if you don’t have a brand and communication strategy, we need to talk!

    • Easy communication → Working with me is straightforward. You’ll get a friendly, direct line, clear timelines, and a simple process for submitting requests and feedback. We’ll keep things moving smoothly and efficiently.

    Why it works

    • Predictable investment → one clear monthly fee (no surprise invoices).

    • More value than ad hoc projects → retainer clients get more output for less cost than booking one-off jobs.

    • Keeps your brand ahead → with some taking care of your design strategy, your marketing stays ahead of deadlines, seasons, and competitors.

  • Whether you need a little or a lot, this flexible monthly retainer gives you priority access to strategic design support — without scrambling to book someone in last-minute.

    Choose the support you need each month and keep your team less stressed, your brand on track, and your marketing goals moving forward.
