hello.
I’m Jess.
I'm the graphic designer behind Cussen Creative, a studio based in Darwin, NT.
I work with government departments, organisations and businesses across the Northern Territory to produce design that's professional, considered and built to last. My work ranges from annual reports and strategic plans to brand identities and corporate collateral.
With over a decade of experience working alongside NT clients, I understand the standards, timelines and sign-off processes that come with larger projects and I know how to make the design process smooth from brief to delivery.
What I offer.
Professional design that communicates clearly, reflects your organisation's standards and holds up under scrutiny. Here's where I can help.
document design
For government departments and large organisations, documents are often the primary way you communicate with your stakeholders.
I regularly design:
Annual Reports
Strategic Plans
Capability Statements
Company Profiles
Corporate Reports
Publications and Booklets
Accessible, WCAG-compliant PDF design is also available for organisations with government reporting or accessibility requirements.
LOGO + BRANDING
A well-considered brand builds trust and signals credibility before a word is read. I develop brand identities that are consistent, professional and built to work across every touchpoint. This ranges from digital communications to printed materials and formal documents.
Branding projects can include:
Logo Design
Brand Colour Palette
Typography Selection
Visual Identity Elements
Brand Style Guidelines
Corporate Collateral
Consistent design across all your materials reinforces your organisation's professionalism.
I design a wide range of corporate collateral, including:
Flyers and Marketing Materials
Corporate Documents
Internal Templates (Word & PowerPoint)
Event Materials
Signage and Promotional Pieces
Project Support
Complex projects often require more than design alone. I can coordinate the additional elements needed to bring your project together
This may include:
Photography – organising and project managing professional photoshoots to capture imagery for your reports, website or marketing materials.
Copywriting – working closely with local trusted partners to provide copywriting or content editing so your messaging is clear, professional and engaging.
Printing – preparing files for print, recommending paper stocks and finishes, and organising professional printing so your materials arrive ready to use.
