randoms to unknowns
I’m Talia, a Melbourne-based freelance graphic designer. I love designing, making simple things and matching colours resulting in artistic, creative and photogenic art pieces from my perspectives. My unique techniques of design are pretty much minimal and modern, plus freeform.
My design career started from being a drawing hobbyist, an art explorer to a painting experimenter. Having said that I founded Summer and Salmon Studio in 2019, an independent Bangkok-based studio that makes and sells art merchandises and functional stuffs in daily life. Since then, I’ve got commission works from followers, clients and connections, mainly in Thailand market.
Dating back in 2012 I had a different role and experience in strategic and planning roles over 6 years+ at leading creative and digital advertising agencies in Thailand. In late 2017, I have relocated permanently to Melbourne to pursuit my dream. Since then, with new experiences I have been working as a Barista in hospitality and coffee industries. Having said that, I always keep my design side hustle in self practicing, learning new techniques, exploring new tools & trends.
In August 2023, I founded Anchovy Toastie Studio, a Melbourne-based home studio which is an independent design & creative studio that mainly focuses on illustrations and commission works for local clients in Australia and internationals. My works are multi-disciplinary art influenced in different inspiration from minimalist to Scandinavian and contemporary concepts, especially in still-life food & drinks and portraits. This includes my observation of random people outside, outstanding colours experienced in daily life as well as fashion & decorative things around. My goal from this year onwards, I have ideally planned to work more with design & creative stuffs.

Talia/Tar
