The Creations
Whether you’re just starting out with your business, want to rebrand to highlight your growth, or you’ve got some other creative vision in your mind, Open Road Co design studio offers diverse creative options to materialise your dreams into reality.
I create funky things and intuitively develop branding for companies that want to stand out. I love working on all sorts of creative projects. The essence behind Open Road Co is freedom through expression, the feeling of vastness, of expansion and the realisation of infinity ✦
I’m Ash, the graphic designer behind Open Road Co. I’m based out of Kiama, NSW but love that my work lets me take on projects from everywhere ✦ No two projects being the same. Open Road Co is about authentic expression of self. After graduating uni, I made the best decision ever and chose to do a lap of Australia in a van rather than get an office job. Then, I returned home, and 8 months later did it all over again, this time diving deep into the Red North of Australia in a rad old sandy Troopy. The beautiful emptiness and the deafening quiet of being on the road allowed me to listen clearer to what it is that I want from life, and my creative path slowly unfolded, eventually allowing me to launch Open Road Co. ~ Curated creations of the road expressed through art.
Always learning and building upon creative knowledge, I feel so happy bringing brands to life and supporting others to follow their business dreams. I aim to connect with the vision of your business ~ how it looks, how it feels, how it communicates, the audience it attracts ~ and bring that into reality. I want to tap directly into the essence behind your brand and express it in a way that feels authentic and potent to you, while adding my open road vibe to it.
A design studio born on the road
and driven by freedom.
