hello & welcome
My name is Jay, and I am a proud Kuku Yalanji & Meriam Mir graphic designer living and working on Gabi Gabi country in Gympie, Queensland.
As the Creative Director of Smyth Studio, I specialise in creating culturally significant designs that seamlessly blend traditional stories with contemporary elements.
I am passionate about collaborating with organisations to design impactful and visually engaging documents that reflect their values and vision while meeting their specific goals.
