Big Chief Design
WA based graphic design offering effective visual solutions beneficial for growing businesses. I focus on logo design, visual identities for brands. I work with a range of growing businesses and the passionate entrepreneurs behind them; from the guy who started his own business with a mobile Beer Cart to Western Australia's largest surfboard manufacturers.

With graphic design, you have to visually convey your brand's identity in an instant. I love combining creativity, resources, and industry knowledge to ensure your brand is immediately engaging the right people. I'm passionate about creating brand identity systems that help visualise a company's core values to resonate with the right audience.
Services
First impressions are everything and in a visually crowded marketplace, you need to convey your message quickly and clearly. A unique identity that clearly resonates with your target market and service is the core of effective design. Derek created a fantastic range of options for me to choose from which all matched my business perfectly.
With the background as a brewer, he constructed a couple of mobile bars to cater to wedding venues who don't have access to freshly poured, local craft beer on tap. We worked on creating a visual identity appropriate for young couples who value quality drinks and professional service. Our logo, styling, photography and website were all professionally handled by Big Chief Design.
Factory Paradiso is a combined work force of a number of surfboard shapers in Dunsborough WA. Having operated for a number of years, they needed a new visual identity to showcase their services all available under one roof. We worked on creating an identity and website to launch alongside their new shopfront, going from just a manufacturing factory to a reputable surf shop.
I have worked with Black Brewing Co on a number of projects including event designs, packaging and promotional merchandise and materials. We have worked on single beer releases, targeted at a slightly different market to their core range of craft beers. A chance for the brewers to experiment with different styles and flavours complimenting the seasons that sweep through WA.
Sure Claims Management is run by Adam, a single consultant offering insurance claims solutions. He is able to provide a dedicated quality solutions to a range of clients as well as training and development. As a sole trader, Sure Claims Management needed a professional identity to compete with the biggest of competitors.

Derek helped my husband and I in the lead up to our wedding with designing an easy-to-use website for our guests which was beyond helpful! He also designed wedding invites which tied in with our theme perfectly. He was an absolute pleasure to work with and we cannot thank him enough!
Forever thankful Derek.

When I started my business "Geographe Property Services" I used Big Cheif Design to design my business cards and flyers. I wouldn't hesitate to use Derek and Big Cheif Design in the future.

I run a loss adjusting firm and needed a new logo and graphics for my business.
Derek asked me to describe my business and from my answers created a fantastic range of options for me to choose from which all matched my business perfectly. The option I picked is the center of my business and brand identity today.
I would not hesitate to recommend Big Chief Design.
