About
OU Design is a two-for-one in the best possible sense. Founded by Samantha Kahl and Francene Collings, we’re a Melbourne-based studio that also happily steps into freelance roles at a client’s preferred rate.
Between us, we bring over 25 years of experience across government and corporate design, which means we’ve seen a lot, solved a lot, and know how to make things work in the real world. Our approach blends solid, old-school design principles with contemporary digital thinking, finished with just enough left-of-centre perspective to keep things interesting (and effective).
In short: considered, capable, and not afraid to colour slightly outside the lines.
Please see some examples of our work on our old website oudesign.com.au
Like most designers, our own website is perpetually “next on the list” — somewhere between a passion project and a moving target.
