Aha Creative

Aha Creative Sunshine Coast Graphic Design Studio with a focus is on helping hospitality and events brands shine through carefully curated visuals.

Specialists in brand design, strategy and content that hits home. Anna Hartley embarked on her creative journey at Griffith College of Art in Brisbane, where she proudly earned her Bachelor of Photography degree in 2012, with a specialization in photojournalism. This academic pursuit not only fulfilled her love of learning and creativity, but also kindled her passion for visual storytelling. Since those formative years, Anna's career has evolved through diverse experiences in Photography, Business, and Marketing. In 2019, she took a significant step forward by enrolling in Graphic Design studies at Billy Blue College of Art in Brisbane, enriching her creative skills further. These days, Anna's time is spent between her role as Graphic Designer at The Branding Business, where she works with corporate companies to produce outstanding branding and merchandise pieces, and her own business, where her focus is on brand story telling through a blend of Graphic Design and Photography. Amidst this, she also embarks on the adventure of keeping up with her energetic toddler, Cooper, and finding moments with her husband, Callan whenever she can.

Is your brand having an identity crisis, or is your to-do list just being a menace?

Maybe your business has grown up and your branding missed the memo. Maybe you love the brand, but the menus, social posts and marketing materials aren’t going to design themselves. Rude, honestly.

Before you jump into a rebrand, follow the flowchart to work out what you actually need: a brand refresh, ongoing graphic design support or a clearer direction.

I’m Anna, the designer behind Aha Creative on the Sunshine Coast. I help hospitality, events and small businesses across Australia bring their brand design and marketing materials together - with personality and a plan.

Send me a DM with what feels stuck. You don’t need a perfect brief. “Help, it’s a bit of a mess” is a perfectly good starting point.
