Eleanor de Bondy
thinker. designer. maker.
Hello, I'm Eleanor and I'm a qualified designer with over a decade of experience in the industry, both as a designer and behind the scenes as a production coordinator and sub-editor. I'm based in Sydney, but in this digital age, can work all over the world. It took me a while to understand that this is what I wanted to do, but now I'm in the field, I love my work.
I believe all design is as much about hermeneutics as it is aesthetics.I have a finicky eye for detail, and recognise the importance of knowing all the basics before creating anything more complicated. This is complemented by my sub-editing skills and an ability to think laterally at concept stage; ensuring the finished product is as original, dynamic and eye catching as possible while still being readable and informative.
