It’s art if it can’t be explained.
It’s fashion if no one asks for an explanation.
It’s design if it doesn’t need explanation.

Our Story

Design 2 Envy was established in 2011, by graphic designer Katie and web developer, Ian. We are an Adelaide Hills graphic design and web development studio and we are proudly South Australian owned and operated. We work with clients Australia wide, but enjoy the “old fashioned” face-to-face service which we can provide to Adelaide Hills’ based clients.

Design 2 Envy supports local businesses and our community. We prefer to outsource services such as IT support to Mount Barker Computing and commercial printing to local people or businesses and we do our bit by supporting local sporting clubs. Design 2 Envy are proud sponsors of Hahndorf Football Club, Acacia Calisthenics Club, Mt Barker Football Club, and Wistow Cricket Club.

Our Team

Katie | Graphic Designer

Katie has studied both Graphic Design and Design & Technology Education at UniSA. Katie is a highly skilled visual communicator with a love of all things design and sharing her skills and passion with others. She is creative, enthusiastic and thrives on the challenges each new project brings.

Outside of the design world Katie enjoys painting, sewing and gardening.

Ian | Web Developer

Ian is an engineer with a Masters Degree and 20 years experience. He left the rat race to team up with Katie and to indulge himself in his passion for web based innovation and creativity. Ian uses his engineering experience to ensure that a methodical approach underpins all that we do.

When Ian is not coding he enjoys life on his hobby farm, fishing, coaching junior cricket and camping.

Our Approach

Individual Approach

Design 2 Envy has an individual approach to every project. We begin our design process with an objective view and investigative approach. We continuously search for new perspectives and possibilities. At Design 2 Envy, we believe that sound research is the key to producing good ideas and a good idea is the foundation for great designs.
Objective Mindset

At Design 2 Envy we immerse ourselves in the client’s world. We dive into our projects with enthusiasm and tackle each challenge with an objective mind. Living through projects, rather than just doing them ensures that we are life-long learners which is one of the most rewarding aspects of our work.
Unique Style

Style is unique to each project and Design 2 Envy designers are never swayed by their own personal tastes. We listen to our client’s needs, respect their style and produce work that they love and designs that stand out and appeal to their target audience.
Good Communication

Our project approach is personal, and we involve you every step of the way. Our project approach ensures you stay involved throughout the project and we believe that good communication is a key factor for success in creating what you have imagined.

“Design 2 Envy quickly grasps concepts and produces exceptional logos, business cards and websites. I was particularly impressed by the number of options provided to me and with how these were tailored to my personal requests. This is a highly professional service and I am extremely satisfied with the whole process. I will certainly be contacting Design 2 Envy in the future for all my designs.”
