We are a collaborative design studio specialising in the art of branding. Our aim is to create a complete brand experience that effectively draws attention from, and communicates to target customers through every available touchpoint. We do this by liaising with the client, analysing the scope of the project and in-turn assembling the right team of creatives for the job. JFD Studio collaborators share the common goal of executing a premium end-product which is both timeless and attention demanding. Our passion is elevating visual identities to a step above the current saturation of those that have missed the mark.
We offer an end-to-end service in the branding sphere, everything from strategy to website design and development. Although our main focus is branding or re-branding we are not limited to just these larger, full scope projects. Our offering can be utilised through individual services, one-off projects, tailored packages or ongoing work either quoted, hourly or on retainer basis. JFD Studio is open to all forms of work, projects big or small we are always excited to discuss the needs of potential clients and finding the right path for them.
At the core of everything we do is research and strategy. Great brands aren’t created by accident, a true understanding of the industry, target audience and positioning of the client is required before even considering the design phase. We follow a carefully considered set of processes to create the best possible opportunity to deliver a successful end product. Measure twice, cut once.
JFD Studio presents an offering which combines skillsets to form a collective of creative and technical branding experts.
The JFD
Difference
01
We don’t colour inside the lines
Breaking the mould of traditional agency practices we analyse each project’s unique set of goals and in-turn assemble the right team of highly skilled creative experts to collaborate on a successful outcome. Having a roster of freelance creatives rather than a full-time team, we save on overheads and salaries and pass on those savings to our clients.
02
What is branding without
strategy
Through considered planning, research and understanding we develop a smart strategy and subsequent plan of attack to successfully exude the brand’s essence and in-turn drive interest from target customers.

03
Branding is story-telling
A strong brand should communicate a clear, concise and consistent arrative. We ensure that brand touch-points flow seamlessly from one to another, with a cohesive story of values, tone and style

04
Trust the process
We aim to provide a smooth and fully transparent process from initial consult to final sign off by mapping out a clear timeline and set of stages through which the project will progress. Keeping you updated and informed every step of the way.
06
We’re not for everyone
People-pleasing is boring, regressive and uninspiring. We think all brands should be proudly different and have a sense of style that’s thought provoking and uniqulely relatable. If our portfolio of work doesn’t impress, inspire and/or excite you; maybe we aren’t the right branding studio for you.
05
Design to attract end-user
We aim to create synergy between satisfying our client’s needs & desires and those of their customers. We believe the main goal of any branding exercise is to reach an overall outcome that positions our client’s brand in the exact sphere of values and style that their
customers admire, respect and aspire to be apart of.

The founder, director and driving force behind JFD Studio is Jesse Funk. With over 8 years experience freelancing as a graphic designer, Jesse has worked with countless brands and businesses in a number of industries. Some of these include M.J. Bale, Fortis, Belle Property, The ICONIC, Wisdom Homes and Flow Hive just to name a few. Jesse’s passion for design continues to grow, fostering a reputation of care, quality and efficiency, and building a trusted client base whilst refining his craft. During this process, a number of logo design & branding projects presented themselves, opening up a new world beyond just graphic design and posing a challenge outside the realms of comfort which quickly became an obsession.
With an unwavering passion for design, perpetual research & development and a desire to create & explore the art of branding, Jesse has since had the pleasure of designing numerous visual identities in collaboration with a number of likeminded creatives in their respective fields. As the list of completed branding projects continued to grow, so did the freelancers in Jesse’s roster, slowly becoming a remote team which could be drawn on whenever the next branding project presented itself, no matter how big or small the scope. It then became clear that the next step should be to present an offering which included these collaborators to form a full service branding studio, now known as JFD Studio. Whatever the goals and scope of any new project, Jesse is able to draw on this roster of freelancers to form a team of capable creatives to tackle it.
Operating out of Manly, on Sydney’s northern beaches, Jesse and JFD Studio is ever growing, learning and progressing to meet the needs of business owners and/or brand managers to create strategic, functional and unique brand identities, giving them an aestetic edge.
