I'm a Canberra graphic designer, foodie, gamer, and lover of good conversation.I've been drawing since I could hold a pencil, and in April 2018 turned that passion into a business. Origami Graphics now helps clients nail their branding, illustration, publication design and web design needs full-time. My favourite clients are fellow ambitious creatives like game developers, restauranteurs, florists and café owners - I love being able to use visual flair and drawing skills to bring their designs to life. I'm also involved in contract work for several government and not-for-profit organisations who need an approachable, individual touch for their smaller projects. If either of those sound like you, let's connect!----Timeline:In 2014, I started studying Design (Hons) and Public Relations at the University of New South Wales. I loved the PR component, but absolutely hated the design! I found it too abstract and elite, and I craved being able to learn technical skills and real solutions. I dropped out and went back home to Canberra, where I took a semester off to travel Japan and think about my future career.Mid-2015 saw me enrol at the University of Canberra in a combined degree of Psychology and Arts. I chose Design as my first Arts major and Japanese as my second, which I undertook cross-institutionally at ANU. While people still get confused when I tell them what I studied, this let me explore all my passions at once and start contributing meaning to people's lives - I loved it! I still use everything I learned in psychology to inform my design and client marketing choices today - and it's quite clear that my love of Japanese culture has influenced my business name and branding, too. By the time I graduated in May 2019, I already had a year of my own business behind me, government and university clients, and very high-level skills in industry-leading design applications.January through March 2019 saw me undertake branding work for the Office of the Official Secretary to the Governor-General and the Australian Research Alliance for Children and Youth.In mid-2019, I designed, laid out, typeset and fully hand-illustrated The Boy Who Became Santa Claus by Sydney author Paul Stevens. This was recently featured on Studio 10.Presently, I'm working on a complete branding package for upcoming Melbourne game studio, Studio Drydock; designing publications for Carers Australia; and wrapping up work for Canberra bar Hippo Co. This year's focus is taking Origami Graphics even further.Get in touch:www.origamigraphics.nettaylor@origamigraphics.net
