ABOUT

Hello, I’m Navada – a First Nations brand designer and illustrator.

Over the past 10 years, I’ve worked in-house, in agencies, and freelance across a wide range of projects – much of it in the non-profit space. More recently, I worked as an Aboriginal artist at Gilimbaa, creating culturally grounded artwork for government and corporate clients. As a proud Aboriginal woman with connections to Mununjali and Kabi Kabi mob, sharing my culture through design is always a privilege.

I believe that great design helps to tell stories and builds trust. And when you work with me, you’re talking straight to the person making your work. There’s nobody in between, where things can get lost in translation. That also means lower overhead and better value for you.

TESTIMONIALS

Kind words from people I've worked with before.

“I have worked with Navada over the last ten years and greatly value her considered and creative approach to her work. She continually delivers beautiful, thoughtful, and clever designs that capture the work perfectly. I highly recommend working with her – you will not be disappointed.”

“Where can I even start? Navada's flair for character illustration is sensational. She really takes the time to study her subject, and that care and attention comes through beautifully in the final work. What impressed me just as much as her talent was her professionalism and the thoughtfulness of her process. Every stage of the project was clearly and carefully outlined, so I always knew what to expect and where we were up to. That gave me so much confidence throughout the whole experience. The artwork itself is brilliant, but having the project managed in such a professional way made the experience even better. I’m absolutely thrilled with what Navada created and couldn’t be happier with the result.”

“Navada is an extremely talented graphic designer and illustrator. At our time together at the Leukaemia Foundation, she reimagined and brought to life our Light the Night campaign with a full visually creative refresh, making it immersive and magical. She is so easy to work with as she understood briefs well, knew when to check in, worked quickly and autonomously and interpreted (often vague) feedback into work that truly hit the mark. I’d recommend Navada to anyone needing to connect with a talented, versatile graphic designer any day of the week ⭐️”

“Navada was fantastic to work with. She really listened to what we wanted and took on feedback well. She brought six different organisations to an agreement on one shared brand identity. She created something that avoided the usual, stereotypical domestic violence visuals and instead created a brand that feels warm and supportive. We’ve had so many positive comments from partners about how refreshing the branding is.”

“Navada's a thoughtful designer with a strong sense of how design can support storytelling. She's genuinely easy to work with! Calm under pressure and generous with her time. She takes feedback well and consistently finds ways to take creative ideas to another level.”
