I’m Jessica, an independent designer based in Palmerston North. I have over 18 years of experience working in advertising, branding agencies and independently. I work remotely with clients and agencies around the world. I see my job as a simple one: to get you seen, heard, and remembered. Whether it's new branding or refreshing a logo, print or digital design, websites, or illustrations, let me take you under my wing to bring focus, clarity, and life to your company.

I understand your business has a story to tell, and I want to help you be seen and heard. Brand identity and marketing are what I specialise in, and I want to make your business sing.

I want to make your business sing

What's in a name?

A little birdie told me you’re curious about the name Fat Bird Creative. Well, I’m from Aotearoa, New Zealand (The Land of the Long White Cloud) where almost all our native animals are birds. My favorite? The fantail—a cheeky, round little bird that never lets its size hold it back.

It also felt fitting that, according to Urban Dictionary, Fat Bird is a phrase used to spark reactions and shift the balance of positivity. And that’s exactly what I love to do—shake things up, bring fresh energy, and hatch something amazing together!
