What Wonderbird Values
Connection
Design begins with understanding.
I take time to listen, to understand you and your brand, or to help bring greater clarity to it. From this foundation we build a strong creative partnership and develop visual communication that feels authentic, aligned and emotionally resonant for your audience.
Care
My craft is an expression of care.
I hold high standards across concept development, design detail and final delivery. Through a thoughtful and considered process, I create work that feels refined, purposeful and able to stand the test of time. The projects I take on stay with me, often continuing to evolve in my thinking well beyond the studio.
Compassion
Creative work often involves change and vulnerability.
I bring patience, empathy and emotional awareness to the process, supporting clients as ideas evolve and decisions take shape. This steady and considered approach helps create a creative journey that feels respectful, encouraging and thoughtfully guided.
Creativity
Ideas grow through curiosity and open exploration.
By combining conceptual thinking, visual sensitivity and strategic clarity, I help shape work that feels intuitive and thoughtfully realised. Creative solutions unfold through reflection, experimentation and insight.
Collaboration
The best outcomes emerge through shared thinking.
I work in close partnership with clients, guiding the development of ideas with openness and clarity. My ongoing presence and responsiveness help ensure the creative process feels collaborative, focused and well supported.
Let’s connect and create something meaningful together—bringing your vision into the world with authenticity, creativity, and purpose.
Kind words
“I have been so happy with the website Catherine from Wonderbird created for me, particularly with the aesthetic she designed. The design is clean, spacious and beautiful.
I felt like she really captured what I wanted and brought guidance and expertise to the project.
I was so grateful for Catherine’s skill as a photographer. I was really happy with the shots she got of me – she’s got a great eye and is brilliant with lighting.”

“Working with Catherine was a pleasure from the start of brainstorming our new design right through to delivery and execution. She helped us to consider and articulate what our brand was about at its core, as well as how we want to use our branding and under what circumstances. We now have a brand that we love, which is suitably versatile to look great on massive entrance signs, digital media, paperwork, and road signs. I heartily recommend working with Catherine - it was a genuinely enjoyable and rewarding experience from beginning to end.”
