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.
