Hi There, I’m Ash!
Your Local Graphic & Website Designer in Palmerston
Meet the Designer
Hi, I’m Ashleigh Farris, founder of By Ash Brand Studio - a boutique design studio based in Palmerston, Northern Territory, where purpose-led design meets people-first strategy.
During the day, you’ll find me with an iced latte in hand, 12 Illustrator tabs open and Taylor Swift pumping as I shape brands and websites that are as intentional as they are beautiful.
With over a decade of experience across marketing, branding, website design and publication development, I specialise in building visual identities and digital assets that are both aesthetically strong and strategically sound.
Beyond the design desk, I’m a mother to two high-spirited daughters, a true crime fanatic, a lover of all things colour and a Crossfit junkie. I believe in bringing authenticity to everything I do - and that includes how I show up for my clients.
If you're looking for a creative partner who’s equal parts strategy and creativity, you’re in the right place.
Let’s build something bold, intentional and that drives real results.
Over the years, I’ve collaborated with small businesses, not-for-profits, and government agencies to bring thoughtful, strategic design to life. I believe in using creativity to solve real-world problems and tell real stories - your stories.
Why work with me?
A Creative Partnership
When you work with me, you’re working directly with someone who listens, collaborates and treats your goals like their own.
I’m here to offer:
One-on-one creative direction
Strategic thinking backed by real experience
Design that celebrates your brand goals, story and values.
Locally Grounded. Broadly Experienced.
From Darwin to Alice Springs and beyond, I support clients across the NT and Australia.
I’m proud to bring local insight with a bigger-picture mindset, making sure your project resonates where it matters most - both within the community and in the wider marketplace.
Proven Results for Purpose-Led Projects
From rebranding Autism NT to refreshing the Teach in the Territory campaign for the NT Department of Education, I’ve delivered designs that don’t just tick the aesthetic box – they improve engagement, build trust, and strengthen credibility for organisations doing important work.
I’m proud to partner with clients who care about making a difference - and helping them communicate that clearly and confidently.
