Shivani Cathie

With over a decade of experience, I am a branding designer and finished artist integrating graphic, motion, and built environment design. My journey has taken me from leading advertising agencies to award winning film and television productions, culminating in recent work crafting immersive experiences and innovative accessible wayfinding. My foundation in graphic and motion design is complemented by a Bachelor of Design (Interior Design) and recognition as a finalist for the Milan to Venice Biennale Study scholarship. This blend of skills allows me to approach projects holistically, considering visual communication and spatial experience. As a motion designer, I've contributed to films and TV series, including 'First Australians,' 'Lani's Story,' 'Mrs. Carey's Concert,' 'Matilda Candidate,' 'Ian Thorpe - The Swimmer,' 'Art & Soul,' and 'My Place.' These projects demonstrate my ability to create compelling visual narratives and bring stories to life through motion.   My expertise extends to advertising, where I've worked as a graphic designer and art director at prominent agencies such as M&C Saatchi, Campaign Palace, Singleton Ogilvy & Mather, and Whybin\TBWA. I've collaborated with major clients like Telstra, Qantas, Sony PlayStation, St.George, Commonwealth Bank, Woolworths, and Westfield, delivering visual solutions that enhance brand presence. As the 'Queen of Kerning,' my typography skills are a cornerstone of my design. Recently, I designed a campaign for Prime's 5 character illustrations, creating 15 A1 posters using AI tools, demonstrating my ability to develop visual strategies and stay at the forefront of design technology. Proficient in industry-standard software, including Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop, After Effects, Lumion, SketchUp, Figma, PowerPoint, Excel, and Microsoft Word, I am equipped to handle projects from concept to implementation. My recent work on financial banking advertising and wayfinding for Scentre Group exemplifies my ability to create accessible user experiences.
