My name is Amanda Bennett and I'm the Founder and Head Designer behind Rubi Creations Digital. A boutique Digital Design and Marketing agency nestled in the beautiful village of Mooball, just 30 mins north of Byron Bay. Our office is part of Quilla Design Emporium (of which I am also the owner) which doubles up as a studio and gallery that features local female artists, designers and artisans.
​
​English born with a Caribbean heritage of Antiguan and Jamaican, I love bold and elegant design, but also see the beauty in simplistic expression.

My passion is to help small businesses launch themselves into the digital world by giving them all of the necessary tools to do so. My goal is to provide a one-stop solution for your business set-up so that you can concentrate on growing your empire and take it to the level it deserves.

My philosophy in working with clients is simple... Have the ability to feel the same passion and emotion they have for their products and services, and portray that through the designs, photography and websites that are created for them. Starting from our initial contact, I like to have open, authentic communication. Emails are great when sending design examples through, but chatting on the phone has always been my best and most honest form of contact.

I have been lucky enough to have worked with some very beautiful clients and it has been a humbling pleasure to assist them on their new business journeys. ​

MY LOVES

Art and design has been a huge part of my life for so many years. I have a deep passion for everything from fine art, black and white photography, performance art and vintage fashion. I also have a love for architecture and interior design, and of course the beautiful art that can be found in our natural surroundings within the flowers, trees, insects and wildlife. In my spare time I LOVE being outside in nature with camping being my favourite pastime (enjoyed in my very own retro caravan - proudly renovated by myself). After early morning yoga, I cycle to the headland at sunrise and meditate to the sound of the wind through the trees and the whispers from the waves in the ocean.

​Flowers (as you probably guessed) are the second most beautiful love in my life, with my first being my Angel beautiful daughter ​Ruby-Flower, who is also the inspiration behind the name Rubi Creations Digital.

Over the years I have worked in; I.T, advertising, marketing, have written articles in the local newspaper, organised cabaret and music events, had a hand at creating my very own e-magazine called Mother of the Bay, and I also have my own wallpaper collection under the name of Amba Florette that has been featured in Home Design Magazine, and is currently featured on The Block Shop website.

​Below you will be introduced to the Rubi Creations Digital team, who contribute to Rubi Creations Digital as a growing boutique agency. And as our clients, you will discover why working with us is such a joyful and heart felt experience.

​In the meantime, please take a look at some of my recent projects and favourite work in my portfolio.

PORTFOLIO

Amanda is incredible. From the moment we first met to discuss my business, I felt completely understood and supported; not only with my design requirements, but also with my business as a whole. Amanda is the complete package and her work is beautiful. I am so happy with my branding. I highly recommend her and will definitely be working with her in the future.

Thank you so much for all of your help Amanda. I fall in love with my branding a little more everyday.

~Lots of Love, Tania Mattiocco x

 MICHAEL CHRISTODOULOU - DESIGNER

Vertical Divider

My name is Michael Christodoulou I am a graphic designer from the Gold Coast Australia. I was born in Melbourne with a Greek, Filipino heritage and have lived in Australia my whole life. 
 
From a very young age I found myself drawing and having an eye for design and detail. In the year 2018 I decided to take a giant leap down to Pottsville New South Wales to live and study at Kingscliff TAFE where I began my Certificate III in graphic fundamentals. While completing my Cert III, Cert IV and Diploma in Graphic Design I found a true love and passion for design. I knew that this was something I could really pursue as a career, and to actually have meaning for my future.  
 
Designing something from scratch with my own design style, and seeing the final design in use, gives me a special feeling of success inside. My design style tends to be modern and clean, yet my designs tend to tailor to the design brief given to me. I would love to offer a feeling of trust and understanding to each one of my clients. To achieve this, I believe that design is just one on part of the client’s needs. Having emotion for the client’s product and to actually feel the meaning behind their brand helps me to design and express their brand through my design work.

I am also a passionate illustrator, and budding photographer with a deep love for art and music production.

SHARI KEANIE - MARKETING ASSOCIATE

Vertical Divider

My name is Shari Keanie, and I’m the new Digital Marketing Associate at Rubi Creations Digital.

I am currently in the last year of studying for my bachelors degree in digital business, where I have acquired a wide range of skills, both within the business/marketing, and extremely important IT skills required to work in the industries of the future. The experience of learning these skills and getting the opportunity to use them in the workplace has deepened my desire to learn more about these two industries.

Outside of work at Rubi Creations Digital I also run my own small photography business ​(Shari Mae Photography) and have so for the past year. What I love most about my work is getting to meet all these unique individuals and families in such a personal setting. I love that I get to tell their story through my photographs, where I always aim to deliver the most authentic, candid experience possible.

During my time with Amanda at Rubi Creations Digital, I have also found a passion for Digital marketing and writing. Getting the experience to help each business find an authentic, unique experience through the use of digital marketing tools is something that I have found very exciting.

I love the opportunity to express my creativity both visually and through my writing while helping these individuals reach their goals.
