Hello

Welcome.
​
My name is Bernie Smith and I'm a freelance Graphic Designer based in Adelaide, South Australia.
After working as a teacher in education for over twenty years, I felt a yearning to move into a creative field. Teaching art for a part of my career spurred my passion, and whilst I was encouraging students to embrace thier artistic talents, I found myself thinking that I needed to take my own advice! Now, in my forties, I've taken the plunge and I couldn't be happier with the decision.
​
Relatively new to the design scene, and bringing both a strong work ethic and life experience with me, I am all about finding functional design solutions that look great!
​
The natural world inspires me. There is something special about the perfection, and the imperfection that can be found all around us…if only we look hard enough to see it. I love pattern, found both in nature and in the built environment. I find joy in noticing the little details and also appreciate the 'big picture' of truly beautiful designs.
Working as a freelance graphic designer based at my home in Adelaide, I work on logo design, rebranding, 3D product design as well as magazine and editorial layout. As a professional educator, and having a strong skillset in literacy, I also offer content editing services. Web design, UI design for apps and simple motion graphics are also services I offer, so please make contact if you have an upcoming design project I can help you with.

Please take a look at my portfolio to see my recent work while you are here.

If you’re looking for a fresh perspective on your next design job, I would love to be involved.
