About

Hi, I’m Kurt Toohey – an Australian designer and art
director specialising in branding, motion design, and
campaign creative.

Over the years, I’ve worked with start-ups, agencies,
and global brands across Australia, the broader APAC
region, and the UK – from shaping new identities for
some of Australia’s biggest names to leading campaigns
for clients like Instagram, ESPN, and Goodman Group.
I bring a mix of brand strategy, design systems,
campaign art direction, motion design, and video
production to the table – always aiming to create work
that’s meaningful and, hopefully, brings a bit of joy too.
