Hello

 

Hello!

I'm Margie Duignan, a designer based in Wellington, New Zealand. I offer smart design thinking to create brands people love and communication design that works.

I have 13 years' experience – 10 working in leading brand design agencies in Dublin and Wellington, and the past three as a contractor and freelancer. In this time, I've helped shape and redefine some iconic brands and organisations. I've worked on small scale brand identities through to major corporate and consumer branding projects, packaging, environmental, digital campaigns, and collateral design. I've won a few Best Design Awards and have had work featured in the international Communication Arts magazine.

I work independently, but also love collaborating with creative teams, illustrators, photographers, video animators, web designers and developers.


What people say...

Margie is a remarkable blend of creativity, practicality and really robust analysis and thinking.
— BLAIR MAINWARING, Owner, Ocean Design

Working with Margie since the inception of our business has been invaluable beyond words. She not only is a great listener to our wants and needs, her creative abilities have helped to connect us to our customers in a way we had only imagined possible – while keeping it fresh in an ever-evolving world of design.
— SARAH HEDGER, Owner & Director, YUM

I love a big idea. But like many people that love big ideas, it’s pretty darn tough to whittle all that goodness down to the ideal brand or communication piece. Enter Margie – she takes all my craziness and magically turns it into something perfect.
— ASHLEY PETERS, Director, WORD

Margie listened to what I wanted for my brand and was intuitively able to challenge and build on my brief. She delivered a brand I’m proud to own and that sets me apart in my market.

Margie is a one-woman ‘trust fall’... I’ve worked with Margie on brand projects for many years; she successfully invents and reinvents brands with an unashamed abundance of enthusiasm and charm!
