Story.

We’re George Design, a brave creative studio built for modern brands. We combine sharp strategy with creative instinct to uncover the one essential truth your brand should be built around.

And then we craft it. Meticulously, beautifully, thoughtfully – until your brand has the type of presence that owns the room. On screen, in store & everywhere in between.

Plot twist: our founder, Georgia, didn’t cut her teeth in an agency. Instead, she built George Design on real-world business experience. No boardroom stuffiness or outdated processes to unlearn.

Georgia simply spotted an opportunity for savvy business owners (that’s you) to work with a small team of dynamic, hella-talented designers (that’s us) to craft one-of-a-kind brands. (The type of aesthetic that doesn’t just make you feel confident and excited about showing up online, but makes it easier to sell to the right people.)

Today, we partner with brands that want to break the mould, designing sleek brand identities and campaigns that feel aligned, perform commercially, and create exceptional momentum.

We think like marketers. Design like artists. Move like business owners. And we do it all with the energy of a triple-shot espresso.

Founder of GEORGE DESIGN. Spicy marg enthusiast. Self-proclaimed demolition derby champ. Design, sales & marketing expert.

  • Georgia is a Creative Strategist. Her expertise fuses strategy, design, and marketing – the brand growth trifecta, if you will.

    With a background spanning multiple industries (including retail, beauty, wellness, and property) Georgia brings a distinct commercial lens and an innate talent for selling. She understands the full picture: stock, staffing, promotions, margins, visual identity, customer experience, and commercial performance. Every move matters, and she knows how to make them count.

    Known as a “shot of caffeine” for your brand, she’s the one you call when you’re stuck, circling ideas, or ready to sharpen your direction. Georgia untangles what’s not working, amplifies what is, and helps create brand moments that convert.

    “Ideas are everywhere. Sharp, commercially smart ones? Those are rare. And priced accordingly.”

Design & Marketing Specialist. Photographer. Interior Design lover.

  • With five years in the game, Emma knows how to make a brand look sharp. She’s got an eye for design, a head for detail, and a talent for turning strategy into scroll-stopping creative. From eDMs and posters to social tiles, digital ads, and web design — if it needs to look good and work hard, Emma’s on it.

    “I’m a sucker for a good first impression. Make me laugh, keep me curious, and hit me with killer branding, I’m yours.”

    Emma’s the one who takes Georgia’s big ideas and makes them happen. Clean, clever, on-brand every time.

Campaign & Client Lead. Also: she can sing. Like, actually sing.

  • Campaigns, clients, chaos? She’s got it covered. Lori is our cool-headed conductor behind the scenes, turning tangled timelines into smooth launches and loose ideas into actual outcomes. She’s the one making sure nothing slips, stalls, or spirals—while Georgia hits the gas, Lori grabs the map and says “let’s roll.”

    She brings a bit of South Island soul—straight-talking, salt-of-the-earth vibes with a knack for making even the most complex campaigns feel cruisy. Somewhere between high school and her first job in media, her slightly bossy teenage ways turned into a full-blown knack for leadership. Technically, that makes her perfect for Account Management...but we don’t do the word 'manager' at George Design. Gives us the ick. Instead, Lori’s our Campaign & Client Lead. Because running the show shouldn’t come with corporate baggage, pencil skirts or lanyards.

    She’s also a new mum - aka the one area of her life that refuses to be colour-coded. It’s the kind of beautiful chaos even Lori can’t wrangle (Georgia can relate).

    One more thing… she can sing. Like, fully serenade the team on the way to lunch with John Mayer level sing. When G joked that none of us could hold a tune, Lori shot back “speak for yourself” and dropped a vocal mic. We weren’t ready. It was amazing. G may have shed a tear.

Design & Marketing Coordinator. The queen of an aesthetic Instagram.

  • Originating from a deep-seated obsession with Australia’s Frankie Magazine, Lucy’s love for design kicked off amid fashion and artsy pages. “I found a strong love for all things fashion, photography, design and branding in those pages. I grew up looking at the images and designs in Frankie, GSM, Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar. Eventually, when I got to high school I made sure every class I could get my name in would give me a direction towards a career in design, business, photography and creative marketing.”

    She brings a Gen Z edge, ensuring we’re on point with the latest trends, and has already promised to school us in everything from slang to country music. “I am yet to show the team the full extent of my groovy dance moves - they are in for a real treat.“ #slay

    When she’s off the clock, Lucy is out there exploring, sipping iced lattes, and snapping Insta-worthy shots that make city life look like the cover of a glossy mag. I did in fact tell her that she’s ‘the queen of an aesthetic Instagram’.

    She’s committed to breaking her ‘neutrals-only’ fashion rule (though she admits it’s a tough habit to kick) and claims she’s the one person on the planet who can’t stand caramel. “It’s a controversial stance, but I’m sticking to it. Sue me.”

We’re not for everyone.
