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.
Our crew is close knit and a little crazy, putting heart and soul into everything we create.
