Hi, I’m Talya

Currently based in Christchurch NZ, I’ve been working as a Graphic Designer for 15 years. I specialise in branding, print media and illustration.

I genuinely love to work along side my clients: Building relationships, solving problems, and delivering final products that aren’t just beautiful, but bold and effective too.

Make it simple but significant…

I take your complicated concepts
& turn them into simple, elegant designs.

Let's work together…

I offer a holistic approach to branding, ensuring that your visual identity communicates your unique story clearly and effectively. By diving deep into your business and understanding your customers, I create brand strategies that position you for success.

Illustration

Illustration is a powerful tool for simplifying complex messages and adding visual impact to your brand. With a wide range in style from hand-drawn sketches to clean digital vectors, illustration will give your design that bespoke touch and a cutting edge.

Advertising, posters, flyers and documents. With a bold and clear design style, I’ll roll out your brand across a wide range of platforms ensuring that every design project leaves a lasting impact. Harnessing my diverse skill set, I create cohesive and captivating print collateral and web elements for your brand.

Website Design

I design simple, beautiful, and functional websites. Your web presence is often your first point of contact for most of your customers. Make sure you’re giving them the best impression with an attractive, functional website.

Let’s get your product popping off the shelves with eye catching packaging design through harnessing my experience with different forms of packaging and skills in branding and illustration.

Does working with creatives sometimes feel like you’re herding cats? With my organisational skills, effective time management, and clear communication, I’ll act as your one-point contact, overseeing the entire process and collaborating with other freelancers when needed.

I’m your single point of contact, and I’ll remain communicative throughout the process, so you won’t be guessing what I’m up to our how I’m going about it. As a fellow business owner I appreciate the investment you’re making in me, and will treat your budget as my own.

Good design isn’t just about making something look good, it’s about communicating a clear message to the right audience. With me you’ll be listened to and your project will be on time, bang on brief and budget.

What People Are Saying

“I Absolutely love how Talya can illustrate things that would need hundreds of words in just a few pictures. She is great at developing a style with the client and is responsive about changes. I am looking forward to the future work she will do for us. Thank you!.”

— Lisa from Sit Happens

“We worked with Talya to create labels for our new baking mixes going into the supermarket this year. We valued her experience in food labeling requirements and her ability to take our ideas and create an eye catching label. Talya also considers future products or projects as part of her concept. This is vital for brand consistency. We will work with Talya again.”

— Pauline from Ikuna Taste

“We were introduced to Talya a few years ago by a friend when looking for a new designer for our business and we absolutely love her. She has done design for all aspects of our business from menu design to packaging design and most recently web design. We would be lost without her expertise! After going through two companies that produced awful websites, Talya saved the day and redesigned the entire thing in a couple weeks. She listens to what you want and adds on fantastic suggestions that you wouldn't have thought of. She takes the time to dive in and get to know your business so she can best portray your style and it shows. We HIGHLY recommend Talya for all your design needs!”
