Hey, I'm Sarah!
Owner, Founder & Graphic Designer
I founded Image Ink in 2015 when I was just 23 years old, driven by a strong desire and a dream to own my very own business. With a core focus on creating outstanding design and branding, I wanted to help clients bring their visions to life while ensuring that their brands truly reflected their unique identities.
At Image Ink Creative, I take pride in offering a unique and personalised one-on-one experience for each of my clients. I believe that this tailored approach allows me to truly understand their individual needs and preferences, ensuring that we create something that not only meets but exceeds their expectations. By focusing on building strong relationships and maintaining open communication throughout the process, I strive to deliver results that are both impactful and reflective of their vision.
The Journey of Image Ink
Preface
Since 2010, I have been immersed in the industry full-time, cultivating relationships with numerous key suppliers across all sectors, including printing, signage, and advertising. Establishing these connections has enabled me to expand my knowledge over the years, particularly in the realm of marketing. Collaborating closely with marketing managers throughout my career as a Graphic Designer has been incredibly rewarding, enhancing my understanding and allowing me to develop valuable marketing skills that complement my design expertise.
Chapter Two
I embarked on my career in Graphic Design and Printing during a pivotal moment when social media and websites were on the verge of a major breakthrough. It was quite common for many businesses at that time to lack any online presence. Upon completing my studies in Graphic Pre-Press in 2013—one year earlier than anticipated—I noticed the transition from print advertising to digital solutions beginning to unfold. Having absorbed as much knowledge as possible and excelled in my field, I decided to take a leap into digital design, transitioning from the full-time printing industry to focus on training in digital and website design.
Chapter Three
In January of 2015 Image Ink Graphic Design was founded. During the initial six months, I worked part-time alongside a sign writer, expanding my design knowledge with new protocols from a different segment of the printing industry. This experience in sign-writing significantly enhanced my adaptability as a Graphic Designer. However, it wasn't long before I could fully commit my efforts to Image Ink Graphic Design.
Chapter Four
In 2016, I relocated from my hometown of Warwick to Jimboomba, continuing to serve a wide array of clients from Warwick while also welcoming new customers in my new area. This was a significant leap for a girl from a small town, but it opened doors for me, leading to working with prominent brands in retail, motorsport, and beyond.
Chapter Five
Over the past 10 years, with a huge move from printing based design to a predominately digital based design, I felt it was time to rebrand Image Ink Graphic Design.
With services such as e-news design, social media planning, website design, digital marketing and advertising and apparel design becoming more regularly requested, it was clear Image Ink was no longer just a Graphic Design studio. And so, Image Ink Creative was born from Image Ink Graphic Design.
