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.

Tess Robinson
Owner + Creative Director
Steering the ship at the helm of Smack Bang Designs is our Founder & Creative Director, Tess Robinson.
Tess thrives on identifying opportunities and taking them beyond their conceivable limits.
She is the ultimate advocate for dreaming bigger, working smarter and creating wonder.
A compulsive innovator with a fast mind and a big heart, she has built an organisation that is inherently human in its DNA. And that’s exactly what we do for our clients – seek out a brand’s truest essence, execute its vision and make it look damn fine in the process.
The Team
Our crew is close knit and a little crazy, putting heart and soul into everything we create.
