Hello

Head and shoulders profile photograph of Bernie Smith.

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.

I live, work, teach and design on Kaurna land. I acknowledge that the Kaurna people of the Adelaide plains have a long, deep, and enduring spiritual relationship with Country. I respect the cultural teachings of the Kaurna people and believe we have a lot to learn from their understandings of how to look after the land, waterways and biodiversity.
