About Roxburgh Design

Hi there, I'm Katrina, the graphic designer behind Roxburgh Design.

I'm a Christchurch local, but work with New Zealand businesses and organisations to assists with their design, which could include anything from creating a logo and colour palette, to designing a sales brochure, presentation or email marketing templates or a full website redesign.

My experience includes both agency and in-house roles, which I like to think gives me a balanced approach. I think about design strategically and work to a high standard, and I also understand the realities of day-to-day work in the businesses and the value of practical solutions that are easy to maintain.

I'm happiest when deep in flow state at my desk, launching a new website, or receiving beautiful print work back from the printer. 

FAQs

What industries have you worked with?

I've been lucky to work with a wide range of industries including:

Food & Beverage, Professional Services, Early Childhood Education, SaaS/Tech, Agriculture, Public Sector, Property Development, Real Estate, Hospitality, Construction, Banking & Finance.

What website platform do you use?

I offer two options for website design depending on your business needs.

  1. Rocketspark: A Kiwi no-code website building platform. An easy way to create a fully functioning website without needing a developer. I recommend them because Rocketspark websites are easy to edit and update, and they have an excellent New Zealand based help desk. I don't use a template; I design you a custom website and build it using the Rocketspark platform. 

  2. BYO Developer: For projects requiring more customisation and functionality, I provide detailed webpage designs in Figma which can be handed over to a developer to build. This allows for more freedom and complexity in the design.

Do you do print design?

Yes! I have extensive experience in print design, for example: flyers, brochures, 50+ page books, magazine ads, posters, etc. As a design student I was lucky to work part-time in a print shop, which gave me a solid understanding of pre-press file set up, paper stocks, and print finishing.

What experience do you have?

For 7 years I worked in a leading Christchurch design agency, where I learnt from some of the best in the industry. I worked extensively in brand design, which involved rolling out designs across a wide variety of touchpoints—campaigns, websites, print collateral, packaging.

I've also had two in-house design roles, which are polar opposites. The first was for a rural supplies company. The second was a SaaS company where I worked extensively in website design for a largely North American market.
