About Holiday Studio

  • Misfit Garden

    We can’t speak highly enough of Holiday Studio - honestly, 10 STARS! From day 0, Manda brought Misfit Garden to life. She really took the time to understand what we were all about and what we were looking for, and turned that into a brand that felt completely right. She basically made our entire brand identity; from the initial website design, our logos & creating little characters for us to use on the website. She absolutely nailed the bold colours, cheeky tone and playful energy we were going for. Since then, she’s continued to work with us on loads of smaller projects – from packaging design to vehicle artwork, and all the little tweaks and updates we’ve needed along the way. She’s always quick, reliable, easy to work with. We honestly wouldn’t be where we are without her. Couldn’t recommend her more!

  • Papaiti Gin

    Working with Holiday Studio was one of the best decisions we made when building our brand. She completely understood who we were and what we were trying to create - her design options were not only beautiful but always felt spot-on. To this day, we still get regular compliments on our labels. We've gone back to Manda again and again because she's consistently responsive, thoughtful, professional, and just an absolute pleasure to work with. She’s helped define the visual soul of our brand - and we’re excited to keep building on that together.

  • Fresh To Go

    Working with Holiday Studio over the past year has been an absolute pleasure. Manda brings a great mix of creativity, professionalism, and clear communication to every project. From the start, the process was easy to follow, with regular check-ins that kept us moving forward and confident in our decisions. Manda’s design concepts have pushed our thinking in new directions, offering ideas we wouldn’t have come up with on our own. It’s been incredibly rewarding to watch her initial designs evolve into polished, final packaging that truly reflects our refreshed brand. She’s played a key role in rolling out a modern, cohesive look across new product lines, and we’re excited to keep working with her on some of our other ranges. We highly recommend Manda to anyone looking for thoughtful, strategic design support.
