ORGANISATIONS WE LOVE
OUR IMPACT IN ACTION
HEALING, HEALTH & HAPPINESS
Our initial project embarked on a meaningful collaboration with Dr. Reetu Verma, an esteemed 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 captivating graphics, orchestrated targeted paid advertising campaigns, and amplified the reach of her transformative Chakra Healing Program at Teal Studios.
This collaboration not only bolstered Dr. Verma’s ability to touch more lives but also showcased the ripple effect of empowerment through digital enablement. By aligning our digital expertise with her healing vision, we’ve helped to create a broader platform for wellness and positivity in our community, demonstrating that our collective efforts in digital innovation can truly enhance individual well-being and community health.
St Therese Parish WOLLONGONG
Our partnership with St Therese Parish was a strategic initiative to enhance their digital footprint, capturing the essence of warmth and inclusivity that stands at the heart of our local church and healing center.
By modernising their online presence, we not only elevated the parish’s capacity to connect and engage with the community but also enriched the communal and spiritual fabric of Wollongong.
This project illustrates how intertwining our digital expertise with the needs of local institutions amplifies their reach and impact, fostering a stronger, more interconnected community. Through such engagements, we reinforce the belief that investing in our community’s digital empowerment is a catalyst for collective advancement and well-being.
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.
