Debbie Dowds

I’m a graphic designer and illustrator with over 20 years’ experience across branding, logo design, illustration, and print. I founded Boho Bandits Creative in 2018, and I work with clients on everything from brand identity and website design to character development and packaging. Before that, I spent 14 years as Director and Co-owner of Pacific Shack, leading design and illustration work from initial brief through to final art-ready files. I’ve worked with clients across New Zealand and the UK, including Kindo, VetEnt, Dive HQ Auckland, Unicef, Oxfam, and Girl Guiding New Zealand, across sectors from pet wellness and hospitality to NGOs and children’s brands. I’ve got a strong eye for typography, colour, and character-driven illustration, and I bring a gregarious, detail-focused approach to every project. I like to balance creative ambition with professional, efficient delivery.
