About

Hi, I’m Bridie – a multidisciplinary graphic designer with a passion for branding, storytelling, and purposeful design. With a strong foundation in publication and editorial work, I help brands connect with their audiences through bold, meaningful visuals across both digital and print platforms.

I’ve collaborated with clients in fashion, hospitality, the arts, and beyond, creating everything from full brand identities and marketing campaigns to social media assets and immersive web design. My approach combines strategic thinking with a human-centered touch, informed by global perspectives and a background that spans both freelance projects and self-initiated creative work.

From launching grassroots initiatives like GIRL, a zine supporting women in the arts, to crafting upscale brand identities for luxury businesses in Bali, I bring curiosity, empathy, and adaptability to every project.

Key skills include:

Branding & Identity Design

UI/UX & Web Design

Editorial & Publication Layout

Motion Graphics & Social Content

Typography, Art Direction & Strategy

Let’s collaborate to bring your ideas to life through design that informs, inspires, and resonates.

Promotional Posters for Events

For this project, I created a cohesive visual campaign for Blue Valentines, designing a series of promotional social media posts and printed posters. The goal was to capture the emotional depth and unique mood of the event while ensuring eye-catching and shareable graphics that resonate with the audience. Using a mix of bold typography and expressive imagery, I crafted designs that balanced elegance with contemporary appeal. Each piece was optimized for different platforms, ensuring visual consistency across Instagram, Facebook, and physical spaces. The project strengthened my skills in layout design, brand consistency, and digital marketing visuals, while allowing me to explore emotional storytelling through graphic design.
