ABOUT
Studio Est. is a creative partnership between designers Candice Papagiannis and Kim Jericho. With over 30 years of combined industry experience, we’ve collaborated with a diverse range of clients, from government agencies and large corporations to small businesses and start-ups.
WHO WE ARE
KIM
Kim is a natural problem solver and big-picture thinker, equally at home unravelling complex brand challenges as he is contemplating the mysteries of the universe (infinity and beyond included). With a background in winemaking and a family heritage steeped in vineyards, his creative process is equal parts instinct and precision. He’s studied winemaking, worked multiple vintages, and completed his WSET Level 3 certification, so yes, he really does get wine.
Kim’s approach to branding is thoughtful and inquisitive, he’s driven by a genuine interest in what makes a brand stand out and how to translate that into meaningful design. He’s drawn to the details that others might overlook, with a particular soft spot for vintage typography, tactile print, and design that feels as considered as it looks.
When he’s not deep in design mode, you’ll probably find him in the kitchen, hand-making pizza or pasta and matching it with the perfect glass of wine. (Chardonnay, Sherry, Pinot, Gamay… he’s not fussy, as long as it’s good).
CANDICE
Candice grew up in a family of small business owners, giving her a firsthand understanding of the dedication, resilience and grit it takes to build success. She’s driven by a genuine desire to help businesses and organisations not only succeed, but do so with greater clarity, confidence and purpose.
Throughout her career, Candice has brought this mindset to every project, combining strategic thinking with a brand-first design approach that’s been recognised both locally and internationally. She has a deep curiosity for what makes each business unique and a skill for uncovering what will truly connect with its audience.
When she’s not immersed in creative problem-solving, you’ll probably find her getting her hands dirty in the garden, chasing after her young family, or eating some fancy food that she definitely didn’t prepare herself…
