about
Hi there, I’m Sharon, owner and Creative Director of Shine Design Ltd. I’m a fully-qualified senior graphic designer based in Wellington New Zealand. I have over 22 years of professional experience designing company branding, promotional material, advertising, illustration, websites, and online marketing.
I studied at the Wanganui School of Design and graduated with a Bachelor of Computer Graphic Design. My work experience includes working as an in-house graphic designer, as a contract designer working on-site, as a senior graphic designer of a design studio, and as a Freelancer at my own company. I have worked for various clients ranging from small to medium-sized businesses, Government Departments, Industry Training Organisations (ITOs), educational providers, product manufacturers, restaurants, and individuals for personal projects like wedding invitations.
Shine Design offers a professional, creative service with a personal touch. I believe great graphic design stems from a deep understanding of the values and beliefs important to our clients. Through careful listening, we seek to capture the design elements that express the essence of your business. Shine’s design solutions combine creativity, simplicity, and elegance.
At Shine Design, clients work directly with me I will manage their design project from start to finish including print management.
I strive to minimise our overheads and maximise our quality by connecting with a network of professionals specialising in copywriting, proofreading, IT services, web development, and marketing. This way we can offer our clients access to senior experience skills at affordable rates. Call me today, we would love to discuss your next design project.
