I’ve been designing for over 30 years, working in Australia, Germany, and the UK. Most of that time I’ve been self-employed, collaborating directly with clients from my office or in their offices. My experience spans Corporate Identity (logos and branding), Retail, Magazines, Print Advertising, Books and Fashion. Living and working in Europe for six and a half years broadened my creative perspective and I learnt to speak fluent German. My time in Germany, in particular, deeply influenced my design style, teaching me the power of clean, modern design, thoughtful use of white space, strong typography and considered colour. For the past 15 years, I’ve also run another product business alongside my design work. This experience has given me valuable insight into marketing, customer service, teamwork, and what businesses really need to connect with their audience. I’m based in Melbourne and work with both local and interstate clients — in person, over Zoom or by phone, whatever suits best. I have uploaded my CV and if you go to my website moniqueegan.com.au you can see my work and read my client reviews. If you need more specifics re the other Freelance clients I have had over the years I can send that through later. Have a lovey day!
