hello, I’m

The designer behind Cussen Creative.

Based in Darwin, Northern Territory, I work with government departments and businesses to create engaging design that communicates clearly and looks great.

With over 9 years of experience in the design industry, I specialise in document design, corporate collateral and branding, helping organisations present their work with pride and confidence.

My Story

My design journey began after studying Graphic Design at Shillington College, where I developed a strong foundation in visual communication, typography and layout design.

I started working in the industry at just 19 years old, gaining practical experience across a range of projects before heading into my own business.

What began as a few freelance jobs quickly grew into a design studio working and collaborating with organisations across the Northern Territory. Over the past several years, I’ve built long-term relationships with clients by delivering reliable, thoughtful design that supports their goals.


What I Specialise In

I specialise in document design and corporate collateral, particularly for businesses that need clear, structured and polished communications.

Services include:

  • Annual Reports

  • Strategic Plans

  • Capability Statements

  • Company Profiles

  • Internal Corporate Templates (Word / PowerPoint)

  • Corporate Collateral and Publications

  • Branding and Visual Identity Design

Clients I Work With

I’ve had the privilege of working with a range of organisations across the Northern Territory, including government departments, not-for-profits and other local businesses.

Some of my clients include:

  • Northern Territory Government

  • AANT

  • St John Ambulance NT

  • City of Palmerston

  • NT Farmers Association

  • Relationships Australia NT

I’m proud to support organisations that are doing important work in our communities.


The Personal Side

When I’m not designing, you’ll usually find me balancing business life with mum life.

Living and working in the Northern Territory is something I’m incredibly proud of. I love being part of a close-knit community and supporting local organisations and businesses through my work.

Running my own design business allows me to combine creativity with flexibility and I’m grateful every day to do work I genuinely enjoy while supporting clients across the Territory.
