Kia ora, I’m Amanda. As the Founder of Saltmark Studio, I’ve been in the business of design & marketing for almost two decades. I’ve worked with all types organisations to complete thousands of creative projects. (#5726 to be exact).
I’m one of those rare humans that loves technology as much as I love art, the perfect combination for a designer. After moving from Melbourne in 2023 to the beautiful Bass Coast - this place is now our forever home, living in a gorgeous 100+ year old Edwardian house. For a peek into my world, and a dose of that calm, coastal thinking check out my design or business consulting services.
My beliefs:
-
I believe your brand should make you smile when you see it out there in the world. Whether it's a social media post that perfectly captures who you are, a website that feels authentically you, or a strategy that aligns with your values - good design and clear direction should energise, not exhaust you. When your brand brings you joy, that energy is contagious to everyone who encounters it.
-
The right brand and systems don't just look good - they work for you around the clock. A well-designed identity attracts your ideal clients with ease. Clear messaging helps customers find you instead of you chasing them. Smart processes free up your time for the work that matters. When your brand truly represents you, it becomes a powerful tool that empowers both your business growth and your customers' ability to connect with exactly what they need.
-
Beautiful work that doesn't move the needle isn't worth doing. Whether it's a rebrand that repositions your entire business, a campaign that drives results, or a strategic shift that transforms how you operate - everything should create measurable positive change. Your brand should work as hard as you do, opening doors and creating opportunities that weren't there before.
-
Every color choice, every word, every strategic decision should serve a purpose beyond looking pretty. Real thoughtfulness means understanding not just what you do, but who you serve and how people experience your business. It's considering how a stressed customer will read your website, or how a newbie marketing assistant will use your custom Canva templates 6 months from now. Thoughtful design anticipates needs and removes friction. I can help you achieve this.
