Seed Design’s Story
Our story began with wanting to help others. Aiming to launch a business to add flexibility and versatility to life!
Back in 2018, I originally started my Graphic Design journey at a printing company on the Fraser Coast. I was actually employed as a trainee Web Designer - yep, that’s right, I was willing to do anything to get my foot in the door - and it ended up working!
The opportunity to be trained by incredible graphic designers with a combined 20+ years in the industry fell in my lap. And, here I was, a 19 year old (look at how young and not sleep deprived I was), junior graphic designer, living my DREAM!
I learnt so many valuable skills there, ranging from signage, logos & branding, magazines, business cards, brochures, flyers, stickers, vinyl & much more. It really was the most incredible opportunity.
Two years later in 2020, I thought I wanted to try a new career, as I had always had a passion for youth. So I took a short contract at a local school, while realising at the end of it, that wasn’t exactly what I wanted to do, knowing I still loved design & had a creative passion inside of me that wanted to get out!
Fast forward to the end of 2021, and a friend reached out to me needing some help designing some books (pictured) that she wanted to sell digitally & get printed. My husband casually joked that I should start a design business and make the big bucks… but owning my own business was never really something I thought I wanted to do.
So, it turns out I did indeed start that business I didn’t think I really wanted to do. BUT I did it scared and did it anyway! AND, little did we know that our beautiful baby girl, Emmy, was deciding on announcing her arrival not too long after that. Our lives were changing forever in the best way possible.
I continued to build my business throughout 2022 while working full time as a graphic designer for a hotel company & growing a human (no biggie), and somehow through all of that, having a newborn, sleep deprivation, my business has continued to grow into what it is today.
Expanding my services from just graphic design, print & branding, into web design and social media management has been something I’m very proud of. I’m so grateful that all those years ago someone saw the potential in my abilities to bless me with the life I get to live now with my family - doing something I LOVE!
