About us
Design Simplified is a graphic design agency that was founded by Angela in 2012. After working for 14 years in design agencies across four continents she decided that it was time to spread her wings and start her own business. Angela's goal was to create a graphic design agency that offers premium quality design, superb service, honesty, integrity, clear communication and value for money.
Since starting Design Simplified, Angela has built an outstanding reputation and worked across many corporate and industrial sectors, with clients ranging from business-to-business enterprises, educational institutions, public sector organisations, sole traders and start-up businesses.
