Don't let size fool you, a team is only
as big as it needs to be.
MEET THE TEAM
Angela, Creative Director
With 20 years' experience in the design industry under her belt, Angela decided to launch Design Simplified in 2013. Some of the big dogs she's run with include FNB, Simba and Tupperware. Since that 'ole faithful day in 2013, she's racked up more well-known clients, like Westpack, Petzone, (if you meet her you'll know why she's stoked on this one) Hippo Advisory Services and Genio Coffee Roasters (another topic that Angela is passionate about). She has also managed to build her whole team from ground-up, encouraging young creatives to delve deeper into their talent. Did we mention she lives, breathes and loves Melville with all her heart?
Lynn, Financial & Human Resources Director
Still waters... Deep ground. A diplomat at heart; Lynn cannot tell a lie. That's why she's the best person to ask if your bum looks big in those pants, granted you're looking for the truth. We chose her to run our HR department because of her eternal sweetness and natural way of giving our clients what they want. Not a line out of sight and never missing a beat: Our Lynn.
