Freelance Designer – Brisbane Northside
Local, experienced, and genuinely invested in Brisbane's Northside business community.
Hi, I'm Kylie Meller — a freelance graphic designer based right here in Brisbane's Northside, in Chermside West. For over 17 years I've helped businesses across Brisbane (and beyond) with logo design, branding, and websites, but there's something I particularly enjoy about working with businesses in my own backyard.
If you're a Northside business looking for a designer who actually understands the local landscape — not a national agency working from the other side of the river — you're in the right place.
Suburbs I work with
I'm based in Chermside West and regularly work with businesses throughout Brisbane's Northside, including:
Chermside · Chermside West · Nundah · Brisbane · Hamilton · Lutwyche · Nudgee · Wilston · Alderley · Wavell Heights · Wooloowin · Stafford Heights · Everton Hills
If your suburb isn't listed here, get in touch anyway — this isn't an exhaustive list, just where I most often work.
Why local matters
A designer who knows the area
The local business community, the competitive landscape, and what resonates with Brisbane audiences
Easy, direct communication
No time zones, no account managers, no waiting days for a reply
The option to meet in person
If you'd prefer a face-to-face chat over a video call, that's genuinely on the table
Community-minded work
I like seeing the businesses I work with succeed locally, not just as another logo in a portfolio
What I can help with
Logo design — a distinctive, professional mark for your business
Branding & brand identity — full identity systems including strategy, colour, typography, and guidelines
Graphic design — print and digital design for marketing materials, packaging, and more
Website design — custom WordPress and Squarespace websites
WordPress maintenance — ongoing care so your site stays secure and running smoothly — a distinctive, professional mark for your business
Who I work with
I work with small-to-large businesses across a range of industries — including corporate, government, and tourism clients — who want agency-quality design without agency overhead. If you're after a serious, long-term design partner for your business (not the cheapest option on a freelancer marketplace), that's exactly the kind of client I do my best work for.
