Sharon Westin-Shaw Graphic Design Melbourne

about

Sharon's passion for print design started very early on with a love of all things paper. This, along with her love of drawing, blossomed into a career in graphic design, specialising in print design, spanning 15 years.

Sharon started her career in graphic design, working for free, just to gain the hands-on experience you only gain in the workplace. This led to her first paid design job for a husband and wife team in Melbourne. Here, Sharon gained not only design experience but small business experience – both dealing with small businesses and the running of a small business – skills she implements in her own business today.

From one small agency to another, Sharon moved in to the studio at George Patterson Partners, one of Australia's largest advertising agencies. Sharon's experience grew exponentially and as did her reputation. She became a highly sought after designer that made a name for herself for creatively delivering the client brief to exact standards, on time, every time. In 2011, Sharon decided it was time to branch out on her own and her business bloomed.

Sharon Westin-Shaw Graphic Design and has a solid client base working with businesses across Australia, including:

I began working with Sharon mid-2012 when I decided to start my own company after having been a corporate executive for almost 15 years.

My company is unique and there is no other like it in Australia, so when it came to delivering a clear, consistent message through graphics it was important I found just the right person who would understand the concept and vision of my new company and the emotional connection I am looking to make with my clients.

I firmly believe that Sharon captured the true essence of Fund a Dream in the logo she created; from that project on we have continued to engage Sharon to design, create and amend images to accompany our campaigns, newsletter, website, Facebook, Twitter – the list is almost endless.

What is most impressive is that given Sharon is located in Victoria and me in Qld, everything she delivers is from an offsite location, where she has not even had the luxury of meeting me in person.

When my company branched out and launched its own product, Sharon was there again to create a logo and supporting collateral that delivered in connecting the two brands whilst ensuring we had a unique identifiable logo that created a feel that aligned with the products purpose.

It goes without saying that Sharon is timely, professional, communicates well and delivers outcomes that fit perfectly with our business goals, which is why we continue to engage her services to this day."
