is a Melbourne/Naarm, based full service design studio founded and operated by Andrew Kuypers.
We specialise in brand identity, creative direction, digital design, and photography. We have collaborated with small family companies to big corporations, both locally and internationally. We choose to partner with like-minded fascinating people who thrive on change and who aren’t afraid to explore the unknown. People who prioritise the outcome over urgency. We know a powerful brand is a differentiated brand – and to differentiate, you need to push way beyond the norm, and that’s where we come in.

Who We Are
Over the last 14 years, Andrew has worked in agencies in London, Sydney and is now based in Melbourne/Naarm. He’s collaborated and worked extensively with a myriad of clients, ranging from small family companies and ambitious startups to established property developers and large-scale hospitality groups across Australasia.
Andrew embeds himself into all projects and offers himself as a Creative Director, Art Director, Graphic Designer and specialist Photographer. His work is characterised by having an effortless, laid back vibe with a refined meticulous edge.
When Andrew is not designing he can be found walking his long-haired dachshund Lenny with his wife Clare, surfing in Torquay, or tending to his ever growing collection of bonsais.
