About Us
Talk Visual – a home to creative thinkers obsessed with helping businesses like yours.
We offer local and remote clients not only our experience but the benefit of a small and dynamic studio. We know that within the creative industry, there are so many unnecessary expenses that get passed on to the client. But we focus on keeping better processes, staying intentionally small, and only having the necessary skills needed on staff, which allows us to cut the excess costs, making graphic design and marketing available for a wider range of clients.
Being well-established in the industry, we’ve worked with all kinds of clients across sectors like financial institutions, professional services, environmental, and transport, solving all kinds of problems. While our portfolio page showcases a variety of projects, it doesn’t show everything due to confidentiality.
Every business is unique, and we think your designs and strategies should be too. We take the time to understand your challenges and goals, crafting solutions that fit like a glove.
A massive advantage of a small team is the “small classroom” feel to how much attention one individual client gets – they’re not just a number in a sea of other businesses. Our owner/operator Haylee is in the trenches every day (and she wouldn’t have it any other way). Problem solving on the spot? Generating ideas mid-meeting? That’s just how we roll.
Our Why
At Talk Visual, we make brands look brilliant, connect with purpose, and grow with confidence through smart strategy and thoughtful execution.
We do it because:
1. Every business deserves to look good.
2. There is a solution to every problem.
3. Life’s too short for boring design.
We’re here because everyone has a message to communicate and a story to tell. We’re in the business of bringing ideas to life – whether you’re launching something new, engaging your team, reporting to stakeholders, or turning heads on social media. Whatever your message, we’ll craft a solution that delivers results and make damn sure you look good getting there!
Let’s make it visual.
We’re not about boring forms or endless back-and-forths. Just drop us a line and we’ll figure out what’s next. Whether it’s starting fresh or to level up your current setup, we’re here to make the process as smooth (and fun) as possible. Let’s talk!

Our Process
We plan
Successful projects start with a great plan. We get clear on your goals, and map out a strategy that sets you up for success - no guesswork, just smart thinking.
We work
This is where creativity meets strategy - we balance creativity and commercial thinking. We bring your vision to life with solutions that communicate your message.
We deliver
Deadlines matter. We respect them, set them realistically, and if something’s too tight, we aren’t too proud to tell you - because surprises are for birthdays, not projects.
We acknowledge
We take working with our clients seriously and know that sometimes some projects require strict confidentiality.
FAQs
We know working with a design team can seem daunting. But here’s a few common questions that tell you a little more about working with us.
Every client and project is unique, but our objective always remains the same. Unlike other studios where you will only communicate with a project manager, every one of us is hands-on, and your point of contact will be the person working directly on your project. This ensures a more personalised and direct line of communication and allows for a better understanding and execution of your vision.
Something unique about us is we are all on the tools! What does this mean for you? Well, it means you when you meet with us and brainstorm for a project you will be talking with someone who has a good understanding of how the ideas could be executed, pick up any road bumps or even push the ideas further.

Our team is intentionally small, valuing direct client contact and having the ability to deliver a more personalised experience.
Many of the skills needed within graphic design and visual communication services relate to one another. With a strong theoretical and practical understanding (as well as a heck of a lot of experience) our team can be versatile in the services we offer.
But we also know our limits, having a range of other specialist professionals in our contact list to take charge when a required skill isn’t our strong suit.
Each of us understands the value of personal and professional development, and we never stop learning newskills or taking the time for training.
Not at all! We work with clients from various locations, and geographical proximity is not a limitation. We can communicate effectively through virtual meetings, phone calls, and email. Regardless of your location, we are committed to providing the same level of dedication and support to all our clients.
