About
me

I'm Ruby Bowditch, a junior-to-mid graphic designer with hands-on marketing and content creation experience. I work right across the creative spectrum: branding and graphic design, social and short-form content, plus real, results-driven marketing. From a first concept to a finished campaign, I love the whole process, bringing a sharp creative eye, genuine curiosity and a lot of energy to every project.

Cover Letter

In my previous role I ran the marketing and design solo. I planned campaigns, prioritised my own workload and proposed system improvements as I went. It taught me a lot, fast. Now I want to keep growing, in a team or on my own. I'm still building my marketing skillset and love how it weaves into design. Gold Coast based, open to design, marketing and content work, full-time or freelance.

02 / Toolkit

The toolkit

Illustrator and Photoshop do the heavy design lifting. When I need hand-drawn work, Procreate feeds straight into Illustrator. InDesign takes over for print and multi-page layouts. Web or UX/UI projects flow into Figma or Webflow. For content, CapCut is my main editor. When a piece needs more advanced graphics, Illustrator, Procreate or After Effects feed in. On marketing, Meta Ads Manager and Semrush go hand in hand across campaigns and research.

What I do

Design, marketing and content sit under three different umbrellas, but to me they feel close and connected. I genuinely enjoy the whole process, moving between them and seeing how each one feeds into the next. I'm still growing in each, but that mix is exactly where I like to work.

Design

Digital media & graphic design

Brand identities and the systems that carry them, from logos and type through to packaging, print and social. I care about a look that holds together across everything it touches, from first idea to print-ready artwork.

Marketing

Creative marketing & communications

Data-led campaigns that turn awareness and organic content into real leads, sales and results. I plan the strategy, build and run the paid side, then read the numbers to sharpen what is working. Comfortable across the full funnel, from top-of-funnel awareness through to lead generation.

Content

Video production

Short-form content from script to screen. I write it, present it on camera and edit it. The series are built to hold attention. Comfortable on a DSLR and lighting a scene.

Selected work

A mix of real client work and self-initiated concepts, spanning brand, packaging, web and marketing. Each one here is just a snapshot — there’s more behind every project, and plenty more beyond what’s shown. If something catches your eye, I’d genuinely love to walk you through the thinking, the decisions and the results.

The brief. My Marketing & Communications role at EQC Institute of Technology. The main goal: drive enrolments in their government-subsidised cyber security IT diploma. Over six months I planned, built and ran their awareness and lead-generation Meta campaigns. I handled the creative and the day-to-day account management.

What I did. I marketed to three audiences with different needs: students, career changers and IT upskillers. To do it well I learnt a great deal about the technology industry. I built full-funnel systems, from awareness ads through to lead generation. The aim: nurture prospects into warmer, more qualified leads for the sales team. I filtered out unqualified enquiries and watched the metrics closely. Day to day: audience research, ad-set structure, performance creative and continual testing. The result: stronger leads at a low cost per result.

Focus: Paid social strategy and performance creative.

Budget, spend and results varied month to month, scaled up or down to match the sales team’s size and the demands of the business at the time.

The majority of the ad creative I produced for EQC remains their intellectual property. Get in touch to see more from this role.

The brief. The design side of my Marketing & Communications role at EQC. Alongside the paid campaigns, I handled their in-house design day to day, keeping everything on-brand across web, organic social and print. Working in-house meant wearing a lot of hats and turning work around quickly as needs came up.

What I did. I rebuilt their course page template in Webflow, making it cleaner and easier for the team to update. I planned and created organic content, shaping a consistent grid feed that built trust with prospective students. I also produced ongoing branding updates and imagery across their touchpoints, keeping the look coherent as the brand grew.

Focus: Organic social, content design and in-house web.

Course page template designed and built in Webflow. The live EQC site has since been edited by others, so work is shown here as originally delivered.

The brief. Western Wonders Craft Gin, a locally distilled Queensland range of three gins. Shark Bay, Hillier Pink and Pinnacles Dry, each bottling a wild Australian landscape. The brief was to sit confidently on a premium shelf. It had to tell a distinctly Australian story at a glance. So I built the brand from bottle to basket around that sense of place.

What I did. Full product and packaging design across the range, brought to life as physical prototypes. I built the die-lines, then printed and die-cut the labels and box on TAFE’s equipment. I applied them to recycled alcohol bottles to hand-build live packaging models. I also hand-drew the illustrated elements, from the animal mascots to the botanical packaging art. Plus a website concept and a full product launch campaign. One cohesive story from shelf to feed.

Focus: Packaging, product design and hand-drawn illustration.

The brief. Self Seen is a men’s wellbeing community in regional NSW, near Port Macquarie and Wauchope. It grew out of concern for men’s mental wellbeing, especially in the regions. Men meet at their hub and local spots to walk, talk and share a BBQ. There is gym equipment, ice baths and breathwork too. I volunteered to help them spread their message through improved communications and website advancements.

What I did. On my advice, we moved to Webflow, a more maintainable and convenient platform. I set it up, rebuilt the existing pages and added new location pages. I also built a functional event calendar, plus fresh imagery and visual design. Then I designed a reusable newsletter template for the team to run themselves. I also made social and event post templates in Canva for the team.

Focus: Webflow rebuild, template systems and events.

The brief. Second Nature is a natural, vegan skincare brand. Its promise is simple: good for your skin, good for the planet. In a saturated market, the design had to feel instantly premium, calm and genuinely sustainable. It needed to earn a conscious, design-led audience’s trust. That confidence had to carry from first impression through to checkout.

What I did. A full, warm coastal brand identity built around a hand-drawn sun-mark in Procreate. I set the colour and type system, then carried it across packaging, organic social and paid awareness ads. I prototyped the website in Figma, art-directed the visuals and shaped the brand strategy underneath it all, so every touchpoint feels like the same considered brand.

Focus: End-to-end brand identity, strategy and campaign.

05 / Process

The process

Considered, collaborative and adaptable. I try to start with the bigger picture, taking time to understand the problem before jumping to solutions. Most projects move through the same rough stages, from early research through to launch, which keeps me organised and the work heading somewhere that makes sense.

01

Research & brainstorm

Getting under the skin of the audience, market and problem, then generating a wide pool of ideas worth chasing.

02

Goals & deliverables

Setting clear objectives, success measures, scope and timelines, so every decision has something concrete to aim at.

03

Strategy & creative direction

Shaping the concept, positioning and visual direction into one coherent thread that carries through every touchpoint.

04

Design & create

Bringing the direction to life across brand, web and content, staying considered and hands-on at every stage.

05

Test & optimise

Testing directions against real performance, then sharpening what works and letting go of what does not.

06

Feedback & refine

Reviewing, iterating and polishing until it genuinely feels right, then launching with intent.
