WHO WE ARE . . .
RODDY & AMANDA
Roddy has had a varied career in both Graphic Design and IT, with the two elements coming together at Bruichladdich Distillery. Amanda is an Australian-born photographer, digital nomad and whisky lover. Her passion for travel and whisky lead her to the Isle of Islay in Scotland - where they met. Amanda and Roddy now live in Australia sharing their enthusiasm for Art and Spirited Adventures.
LABEL & PACKAGING
DESIGN
Roddy has over 10 years experience designing labels and packaging for the alcohol industry. Each country has specific regulations regarding the labelling and presentation of food & drink, combining this knowledge with his graphic design background, we can ensure that your product is both elegant and market compliant.
GRAPHIC & CORPORATE
DESIGN
Design is more than just aesthetics. It helps to communicate your brand values, ethos and set you apart from your competitors. We can work with you to either create a whole new identity, revitalise your current brand to add to your existing product portfolio.
