I design purposeful, practical visuals that help organisations and schools communicate with clarity and confidence.
About me
I’m Donna Kerkmeester from DK Design - a graphic designer and creative thinker with over 20 years experience in education, marketing and event management.
I work with schools, community groups, and small businesses to turn ideas into clear, professional design. Whether it’s a strategic plan, set of school values, logo, poster, newsletter, or magazine, I bring structure and creativity together to make your message land.
With a Certificate IV in Graphic Design and a deep understanding of how people connect through visuals, I focus on designs that work in the real world - not just on the screen.
Let’s create something that tells your story, beautifully and simply.
My design process
-
Fill out the contact form and I’ll get back to you within 12 hours (usually sooner).
-
We’ll schedule a quick chat - by phone or video - to talk through what you need and how I can help.
-
I’ll send you a simple briefing form to capture your goals, style, audience and must-haves. This gives me a solid foundation to work from.
-
I’ll do a bit of homework - looking into your industry and visual trends - then share a mood board or visual direction so we’re aligned before design begins.
-
You’ll receive a couple of design concepts to review. We’ll refine the one you like best with up to two rounds of changes.
-
If I’ve created a logo or visual identity, I’ll create a basic brand guide - showing logo usage, colours, fonts, and key visual rules.
-
You’ll receive your final files - ready to use straight away.
-
Once the work is delivered, I’ll send through the invoice. Standard payment terms are 14 days.
