About me
I'm Jazz Miller-Davis, a multi-disciplinary designer based in Brisbane, Australia. I bring to every project many years of hands-on design experience across a range of industry specialities. My work encompasses brand identity, UI/UX, motion graphics, publications, and front-end web development.
Throughout my career, I have delivered design solutions across multiple domains for clients of a national scale. I have produced work for businesses in the hospitality, retail, healthcare and technology sectors, as well as working in the not-for-profit space where I have led brand identity programs for organisations such as Watergum, Habitec, Skyjuice Foundation and more.
Having worked professionally in agency roles for 8+ years, I have developed a broad skillset and have worked with many creative partners across different disciplines. I have contributed to projects at every step of their journey—from strategy and concept into production, pitch, and rollout across a variety of channels. This hands-on experience has become one of my core strengths as a designer, and I thrive in a dynamic, fast-paced agency environment where a flexibility of knowledge is key.
Across all of my work, I believe in developing design solutions that go beyond the visual, creating truly strategic impacts for businesses and building authentic connections with audiences.

Employment experience
At Eightball Media, I work with a team of design and development experts on crafting cutting-edge brands, websites and applications for startups, national brands, and everything in between. Key industries include hospitality, retail, trades and professional services.
Over four and a half years, I led a team of creatives at Ligature Design, a boutique design partnership dedicated to creating strategic brand identity design and digital experiences. In this role I led projects to completion across sectors, from small businesses to charities and not-for-profit organisations, delivering creative solutions that helped drive business growth and success.
As part of the Marketing Together design team, I worked across domains in collaboration with both large and small businesses to develop branding and identity design systems, create engaging UI & UX solutions for web, desktop and mobile interfaces, and produce a range of printed advertising and marketing material — while carefully managing each project from conception to completion.
Specialising in bespoke print advertising for high volume distribution to a variety of audiences, including within medical clinics, real estates, and event venues. I collaborated with a team of designers to create stand-out results that effectively promote a multitude of businesses across a wide range of industries and target demographics.
Responsible for all pre-press design, setup and refinement of client artwork for wide-format and screen printing. During a corporate restructure I was involved in developing and maintaining efficient workflows with the production team to ensure tight deadlines were met. This involved frequent communication with a large number of clients via telephone and email. While at this position I also led the design direction for a rebrand for the company, including new marketing and advertising campaigns. I also designed, developed and maintained the new website.
Freelance and volunteer experience
For several years I have been given the opportunity by campus faculty to judge the end of year student portfolios for the Graphic Design Diploma students at TAFE Queensland. I am thrilled to have judged both the 2022 and 2024 end of year exhibitions.
Invited to speak as a panelist at TAFE Queensland’s Future Jobs Market industry engagement event alongside other members of the Graphic Design, Film and Multimedia industry across Queensland, including panelists from Screen Queensland and other design agencies.
Gecko Environment Council is the Gold Coast’s peak environmental body. While completing study, I assisted them in a volunteer capacity with a rebrand of their organisation, creatively directing a new design strategy and core set of brand assets which could then be maintained by their in-house design team. I assisted the management committee in creating a set of rigorous brand guidelines and guiding initial implementation across various departments and domains. Upon completion of this work I was awarded a Leaf-tailed Gecko Award and Beaded Gecko Award as recognition at their annual Gold Coast Environmental Awards.
