Spray Shop continues to innovate, with founder Simon leading the team’s product development drive - creating smart, practical solutions that make farmers’ working lives easier and more productive when it comes to spraying and liquid application.

As design partners, we’ve helped bring these new products to market through a multi-channel strategy including art direction for photography, product brochures, website updates, content creation, and scriptwriting for a promotional video showcasing the features and benefits of the new BatchMaster 300 - the compact little brother to the successful BatchMaster 1200.

Through consistent brand presentation, we’ve strengthened visibility in new markets, reinforced existing ones, and helped position Spray Shop as a leader in the industry.

Great to collaborate again with Simon from Spray Shop and Tom Roschi Photography.

We’re excited to continue our design partnership with The Wyatt Trust, shaping and bringing their new report 'Perspectives on Investing' to life.

Working closely with the team, we helped translate over a decade of insight into a clear and engaging publication. The report explores how capital can be used to generate impact beyond financial returns, and shares key approaches and outcomes, alongside reflections on what’s been learned (and what’s still evolving). By sharing this work, the report encourages other funders and organisations to consider how they might extend their own impact.

Its release couldn’t be more timely, following The Wyatt Trust’s recognition as Impact Asset Owner of the Year at the Australian Impact Investment Awards 2026. A huge congratulations!

If you haven’t experienced it yet, there’s still time.
Closing this Sunday, April 12 | 11am – 5.30pm
A truly exhilarating and immersive experience and well worth the visit!

Thrilled to have collaborated with The Wyatt Trust as design partners on their first-ever Impact Report.

In this report The Wyatt Trust poses a big question: “Is what we’re doing contributing to positive change?” It showcases the incredible impact of collaboration, lived experience colleagues and grant partners over the past year (and beyond). We’re proud to have helped visually bring these stories and insights to life, ensuring the voices and achievements of everyone involved shine.

This report is a companion piece to Wyatt's Lived and Living Experience Report, and required careful design consideration to help distinguish the various impact areas whilst conveying information in the most engaging and digestible way.

ACH Group Health Studio 50+
We partnered with ACH Group to create a signage and wayfinding strategy for their new Health Studio 50+ at Rostrevor.

While the immediate outcome was a tailored solution for the Rostrevor site, we also developed a broader strategy that can be applied across future Health Studio 50+ projects. This ensures a consistent brand expression, positive user experience and seamless navigation for both clients and staff.

The strategy included:
Internal signage and wayfinding: graphic illustrations/screens, instructional and information icons, mandatory and directional signage.
External signage: brand integration and wayfinding strategy.

All elements were designed to reflect and align with ACH Group’s refreshed brand and Health Studio 50+ guidelines.

33 Years of Design

In August, we quietly (but proudly) marked our 33rd birthday. From day one, we set out to build a studio on collaboration, creativity and resilience. Three decades on we’ve weathered change, outlasted trends and stayed true to the values that guide us today.

The tools may have shifted - from bromides, paste-ups and Letraset, to floppy disks, cibachrome prints and now AI - but our belief has stayed the same: design is more than decoration. It’s about ideas, strategy and solutions, created in true partnership with clients.

Here are a few favourite analogue projects from the archives - crafted with imagination, community and plenty of hands-on experimentation (long before algorithms and templates!)

McLaren Vale Sea + Vines Festival imagery (no animals were harmed in this photoshoot)

Corfu Jeans - celebrating the art of body painting

SA Icons Calendar - Hills Hoist homage, shot on a 4x5 monorail camera with polaroid transfer

Banksia Annual Report - good old-fashioned photocopying and hand assemblage

33 years in, our work is proof that while tools change, great design endures.
