Words from the client

Lauren and her incredible team of designers deliver websites that are innovative, creative, and user-friendly. They brought the Helpmann Academy's vision to life with a full website rebuild that improved functionality, refreshed our brand, and gave us the contemporary edge we wanted. Studio Veld doesn’t stop at web design—they’re also graphic design pros. From annual reports and brochures to signage and collateral, every piece they create perfectly captures our identity and consistently wows our audience.

What makes Studio Veld stand out? Their creativity, responsiveness, and unwavering commitment to deadlines—without ever compromising on quality. They genuinely care about their clients' success, and their collaborative approach makes the entire process a breeze.

–Helpmann Academy Team

Brief 
 

There have been many briefs over the life of this valued partnership. Over the past years we have been asked by Helpmann to refresh their brand and logo, build a website, brand and setup a membership platform, design annual reports, catalogues, EDM templates, digital assets and add an appointment management integration to the website. They’ve also asked us to run workshops for their creative innovators and graduate artists on some of the business and marketing aspects of being a self-employed artist.

 

Approach
 

First up, our approach was ‘who’ not ‘what’. We understand that when our client is a not-for-profit working in the arts sector, they have a small high-performance team with no spare time in the day. This frames for us that our solutions must be affordable, repeatable and easy to deliver. For the Helpmann team, much of what they deliver is through the website. We designed and built a robust website with enhanced user-choice accessibility functions to cater for everyone, whether they are accessing resources or browsing and booking events. We have a deep understanding of Helpmann Academy’s business needs and are just a call away.
