Our impact in action
Healing, Health & Happiness
Our initial project embarked on a meaningful collaboration with Dr. Reetu Verma, a member of the Wollongong community and a respected professor at the University of Wollongong. Driven by her own transformative journey of recovery after a significant brain injury in 2017, Dr. Verma dedicated herself to facilitating the healing journeys of others.
Aesthetic Studios took immense pride in supporting her mission by crafting a digital platform that mirrors the depth and impact of her work. We designed and developed her website, crafted graphics, orchestrated targeted paid advertising campaigns, and amplified the reach of her transformative Chakra Healing Program at Teal Studios.Â
This collaboration not only bolstered Dr. Verma’s ability to touch more lives but also showcased the ripple effect of empowerment through digital enablement.Â
Shelf Ecology Research Group
We’re not just about digital marketing – we’re about making a real impact in our community.
The AE Community Boost Program gives local businesses facing financial hurdles the chance to thrive online.Â
H Brow Artistry Lamination, Tinting & Waxing
We teamed up with H Brow Artistry, a small business focusing on brow lamination, tinting, and waxing. Our goal was simple: create a logo that reflects their expertise and the precision of their work.
The new logo? It’s more than just a fresh design: it’s a tribute to H Brow Artistry’s dedication to top tier beauty services and sheer professionalism.
This collaboration was all about putting H Brow Artistry’s needs first, understanding their vision, and delivering a visual identity that speaks directly to their clients.Â
