Our Studio
As a talented team of creatives, we love our work, function like a family and are always striving to do good by the world. We are a collective of designers, thinkers and master organisers, each bringing a unique skill set and morning coffee demand to work everyday.
We offer seamless service and strategically sound, creatively inspiring and drool-worthy designs. Our solutions are driven by stories and ideas that look the business.
As a full-service creative studio we are ready and raring to break the mould and get you noticed.
Meet our Smack Bang Gang.
Tess Robinson
Owner + Creative Director
Manning the guns of the Smack Bang studio is Tess. She is all about working hard, avoiding the obvious, barefoot living, seizing the day and leaving on time.
Tess is an ambitious young creative with a strong vision and distinctive creativity. An ideas guru, branding specialist and compulsive maker of things, Tess’ main focus is positive impact.
With her infectious energy and enthusiasm, Tess pours passion into everything she does. Overseeing the creative process, driving business development, offering inspiration (and the occasional Dad joke), Tess is in charge of keeping things kick-ass.
The Team
Our crew is close knit and a little crazy, putting heart and soul into everything we create.
