Louse has been a Graphic Designer for over 20 years . Starting her career as a Show Card and Ticket Writer with calligraphy her special interest. From there she progressed to Graphic Design starting before computers were the norm as they are today. "I was very fortunate to learn the old fashioned, 'cut and paste' method where we literally cut out elements of the design to be printed and pasted then onto boards to be photographed ready for printing. The cost of printing was quite prohibitive until computers became common place on designers desks. Life as a designer became much easier and our creativity was no longer as restricted. We were able to do much, much more than we had previously been able due to clients financial restraints".
Louise is passionate about horses and lives in rural NSW on a property with her husband, 9 horses, 5 dogs and a cat. Combining the love of horses and her design, Louise now does most of her work for the equine industry. She also digitises files for use in embroidery and turns logos into stitches to be embroidered on work and leisure wear as well as headwear.
Jacqueline lives in Melbourne and prefers the city life though she has her dogs Mojo and Chilli to keep her company. She showed a great interest and talent for Graphic Design from a young age so it was only fitting that she trained with Louise before working for various companies such as The Armidale Express, Work Cover and S&P. In 2006 she travelled to France and London where she worked for 6 months. She returned to Melbourne to finish her Postgraduate in Design. Last year she graduated with High Distinction.
A great designer, Jacqueline's specialty is web design, Her fresh youthful approach to design is a compliment to Louise's work and together they make a great team.
Jacqueline will take over the reins this year, combining Horse Design with her business, Alchemy Design. Louise will be concentrating on Animation and Illustration. She has written a children's book and will spend time this year bringing it to life.
