KO Studio is a boutique brand studio for businesses ready for their next era.
We believe the strongest brands don’t just look better, they give businesses the confidence to grow, connect and make a lasting impact.
That’s why we partner with founders and marketing teams to build brands that reflect the ambition behind the business and the direction it’s heading.
Because when your business evolves, your brand should too.
We work with founders and marketing teams who know they’ve outgrown their brand.
Maybe you’re preparing to scale, expand into new markets or attract bigger opportunities.
Maybe your business has evolved—but your brand hasn’t kept pace.
Wherever you’re headed next, we’re here to help you step into it with confidence.
We bring ideas and brands to life with purpose — blending function and beauty. We partner with people and businesses who respect people, the planet, and possibility.
We deliver the wow — in design and in service. Our work is thoughtful, detailed, and delightfully unexpected. We lead with calm confidence and always aim to leave a lasting impression.
We dream big, stay curious, and chase the extraordinary. We set bold goals and find magic in the everyday.
We’re authentic, original, and unafraid to ask the big questions. We embrace the mess, own our mistakes, and never take ourselves too seriously.
Feedback is fuel. We grow from the hard stuff, stay open to change, and never stop evolving.
We design to spark conversations — and we nurture real relationships along the way. We check in, show up, and always treat people with kindness and respect.

Kelly founded KO Studio to help growing businesses build brands that reflect the quality, ambition and vision behind what they’ve created.
Over the past 15+ years she’s partnered with founders, marketers and leadership teams across industries—guiding businesses through the moments that matter most.
Her favourite part? Seeing the moment a founder realises their brand finally reflects the business they’ve worked so hard to build.
Because great branding isn’t just about looking better.
It’s about giving people the confidence to step into what’s next.
I’ve worked alongside Kelly at one of Australia’s legendary independent ad agencies, and most recently engaging her design skills from her own studio. Now, as then, she is a first-rate designer with a wide range of capabilities, and the added advantage of being a thoroughly delightful human to work with.
– Matt Batten, Executive Creative Director
Kelly was an absolute pleasure to work with during my time at Hunter Water. She was the creative force behind many of our campaigns designs. She’s an expert at bringing brands to life, and can easily go from creating professional looking reports to vibrant and engaging advertising collateral. Kelly is a wonderful communicator and I would highly recommend her to absolutely anyone in need of branding and graphic design.
– Kellie De Waal – Senior Marketing Specialist | Hunter Water
Kelly at KO Studio is exceptional to work with. She has a warm and engaging manner that immediately puts you at ease. Kelly approaches her work with confidence, expertise and a high level of professionalism. She listens carefully and engages fully. Kelly guided me through each stage of our design project with commitment, care and consideration and delivered far beyond my expectations.
