I AM THE CUSTOMER, THE COLLEAGUE, AND THE FANATIC, JUST AS MUCH AS I AM THE CREATOR.
ABOUT INKSEED
Inkseed is an off-the-wall design studio based in Fremantle/Walyalup WA, founded and operated solo by Jody Ess.
Inkseed’s niche is in design and branding for the beverage, music, events, venues, surf and skate industries – and all eccentric professional entities inbetween.
These fields are our specialties, as our own personal history and stories are founded on these things. They are more than just passions; they are a way of life. This gives Inkseed the advantage of perspective and hindsight when creating on-point design assets for you that hit the mark.
Inkseed is passionate about producing design that is honest, genuine, captivating and real; design that is *you* and tells your story. We’re not here to fuck spiders.
Inkseed believes in making a difference, and doing design the right way.
ABOUT ME
Jody Ess
Chief | Designer | Artist
Hi, I’m Jody. I’m a long time Graphic Designer, and I founded Inkseed in 2010. I currently operate it additionally to my commercial Artist and painting works via Jody Ess.
I grew up in Kalgoorlie WA, and began the pursuit of my creative career by studying Graphic Design, Pre Press and Multimedia at Curtin VTEC when I left highschool.
As most artists do, I’ve also pursued a bunch of other passion career paths along the way. Bars, bottle shops, event operations, logistics, warehousing, commercial brewing… you name it. My work journeys have provided me with skills for days, a super resourceful and efficient approach to life, and a hella sharp eye.
My super powers include thinking outside of the box, identifying fonts by eye, and identifying off-flavours in beer.
I will never stop creating, no matter what the format. Creating something new in the world that wouldn’t exist without you is pretty cool. I couldn’t be happier getting to do what I love for a living, and I am here to deliver that to you with my design and art services.
