Steph Haber | Brand & Packaging Designer ✨

Hello Friends!!! 🌈 
After over a year of not posting anything to this account, I’m back on the Instagram grind!

I thought I’d re-introduce myself; as I can see there are a few new followers on this page (hehe hello 👋🏻!!)   My name is Steph, I’m your go-to brand + packaging expert based in Melbourne, Australia.
 Let me tell you a little bit about myself, (besides being packaging design OBSESSED), I absolutely LOVE all things travel whether it’s locally finding hidden gems around Australia or overseas. I’ve travelled to 99 countries so far in this lifetime. My favourite thing to do is immerse myself in different cultures, trying all the new yummy food and of course seeing inspiration from my travels. You’ll never catch me without a camera in hand (whether its my dslr, film camera or drone).   My love for design started as a teenager when I hid behind an alias of ‘Piplup Princess’ + owned a fan Pokemon website (major lol’s BUT we all start somewhere, right?) I absolutely loved creating little graphics for this, from web banners to avatars to digital illustrations.  My website had over 200k hits from memory (she was popular let me tell you that); from this I progressed my design skills and headed to university to study a Bachelor’s degree of Graphic Design.

In my last year at university, I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to participate in a study tour overseas in Florence, Italy!  This well and truly sparked the travel bug.  It was such an amazing learning experience that I will forever hold in my heart.   During my time at university, I started freelancing creating flyers for nightclubs around Melbourne; as the years went by, more experience was gained and I grew into my design style; I progressed more into branding & packaging.  I have been so blessed to work with so many amazing humans who have trusted me to create their dream branding and packaging.  I really love being able to help people and bring the joys of creativity into peoples lives, creating impactful designs is something I’m forever grateful for. 💕✨ #meetthedesigner #melbournebaseddesigner #graphicdesignmelbourne #branddesigner #packagingdesigner

This year, I’m focusing on projects that align with my style and creative strengths - we’re talking the bold, playful, flavour filled brands with that extra bit of character. ✨ I’m especially excited to work with businesses and brands across food + beverage, hospitality, beauty + lifestyle, creative industries, travel, special events and trades (I am open to work with all clients, as you all value thoughtful designs and visuals that stand out for the right reasons). I’d love to expand my photography portfolio to creative campaigns / brand portrait shoots & capturing milestone moments. If you’re planning a launch, refresh or new project this year and think we’d be a good fit, I’d love to chat! 🩷 #branddesigner #freelancegraphicdesigner #brandingsmallbusiness #brandingforstartups #brandingforcreatives

Did you know that ya girl (me) is also a photographer?! I’ve done a couple of head shot photoshoots for Rebecca and Tash to help with her business launch. We went for a sleek black and white look over coloured portraits as they just fit the part completely. @ra_consulting #brandphotography #brandphotographer #photographermelbourne #headshot

An example of business stationery that shows @ra_consulting in action, the key colours being the deep red paired with the beautiful typography. I designed some social media tiles for Rebecca (showcasing previous work she had on her platform and refreshing it to be more sleek. 💫 - ⚡️Powerful branding & packaging to elevate your business 💌Enquire now: @halfmooncreative_ - #packagingdesigner #branddesigner #smallbusinessbranding #brandingstudio #designforbrands

R.A Consulting (@ra_consulting ) is an accounting and bookkeeping business based in Melbourne. Rebecca came to me with an idea of refreshing her current branding, to make it more professional. This was another wonderful collaborative process, aimed to show the premium level of work Rebecca does within her business. - ⚡️Powerful branding & packaging to elevate your business 💌Enquire now: @halfmooncreative_ - #packagingdesigner #branddesigner #smallbusinessbranding #brandingstudio #designforbrands

One of my favourite clients - I have worked with @nat.asia on so many amazing projects, including the rebrand of her baby @thepersonhood . This was such a fun collaborative project, we updated the colour scheme and created a funky logo that felt more ‘personhood’. The basis of this was to create branding that is more aimed towards creatives and boy oh boy did we. We kept some key elements from her old branding and it just tied the whole project together. Another fun branding project was for @thehoodhq , a creative space in Magnetic Island which is the home base of the special project spicy starters. This warehouse space is a curated thrift store and creative meet up space. For this project, I collaborated with my nearest and dearest who hand crafted the ‘hood’ typography. - ⚡️Ready to elevate your brand?

Another oldie but a goodie, this is Blanche Smiles (@blanche.smiles ) - a professional teeth whitening and dental clinic based in East Keilor in Victoria. 🦷🪥✨ This scope for this project was branding + social tiles - with the key primary colour being a beautiful electric blue. This was such a fun project to be apart of. - ⚡️Ready to elevate your brand?

An oldie but a good - one of my favourite logo’s I’ve created as a one off package for the wonderful @artenailstudio.com.au - a home based acrylic and gel nail salon in South Morang. We wanted to created something unique, feminine with a funky touch that could be used in different formats (print / digitally based). The scope of this project included print based designs - business cards and loyalty cards, along with some social media assets. - ⚡️Ready to elevate your brand?
