Welcome to Kimberley Creative – Affordable Freelance Graphic Design Services
My name is Kimberley, I am the owner of Kimberley Creative. I live in Melbourne Australia, but I offer Graphic Design services worldwide. I offer a wide range of affordable freelance Graphic Design services and printing with VistaPrint. If you would like a website designed, I am happy to modify a template brought, or I can suggest a good website where you can get a a free template.
I have a Diploma of Computer Graphic Design, which I studied at a Polytech called Natcoll, which in New Zealand. I use a Mac Mini with all the Graphic Design software I need to design my clients projects: Adobe InDesign CS3, Adobe Photoshop CS3, Adobe Illustrator CS3, Adobe Acrobat Professional and Adobe Freehand MX.

Working With Me
Send me an e-mail outlining what you want designed, letting me know if you have a deadline of completion. I will respond with a quote for your design project. If you accept the quote, a deposit of 20% upfront is required through PayPal (bank deposit can be used if preferred.)I accept payment upon completion. When payment is received, I will send you your final design as an unlocked PDF.
I involve my clients in the design process, by showing them the proofs, and getting their opinions on colours or concepts. I always make sure that my clients are happy with how their design project is going. For my work use a Pantone Swatch book, which has a wide range of colours. With this I can see what colours looks like printed before using them in a clients design. Because of the brightness of a computer monitor, colours appear brighter than they are.
I have introduced the 20% deposit payment method to my business to show my clients know that they are bound to their project with me. I would appreacheate clents coming back to me for all their design needs. Please note that my Graphic Design business is my full time job, and I can not afford to waste my time on projects where clients are not going to pay me. I like to know that my clients are as dedicated to their project, as I am. Which means returning e-mails, and paying straight after conpletion.
About My Design History
Growing up in Wellington, New Zealand (after spending two years in Indonesia,) I have always been into arts and design. From an early age, I was often drawing and painting objects and landscapes around me. I've always loved design, and often collect postcards with designs which interest me, this is something I still do. Postcards are a great inspiration to my Graphic Design work. In my early primary school years, my lunchbox was decorated with small stickers from fruit, surrounding my interest in detail, design and colours. All through my school years I took Art: Painting, and still are very crafty with sewing and other projects. In my last few years of school I explored two different areas of art: Print Making and Photography. My art teacher once said to me that I had 'an eye for photography.'
My interest in the Graphic Design industry started in year 11 (NZ) in 2002 when I took a Desktop Publishing subject, which is basic Graphic Design. I then inquired about Graphic Design courses at all the Polytech's in Wellington, choosing a Diploma of Computer Graphic Design at Natcoll. I highly recommend the course, which teaches about all the design softwares used by Graphic Designers, other medias of art and a wide range of Graphic Design projects.
In 2005, I moved with my immediate family to Melbourne, Australia. Since my Graphic Design studies in 2003, I have had a couple of Graphic Design jobs. In 2007 I decided to open my own freelance Graphic Design business (Kimberley Creative.) My aim is to offer affordable freelance Graphic Design services, and to offer them worldwide. I am very passionate about my Graphic Design, as it involves my love for the arts, design and Apple Macintosh computers.
