Kim-Vu Salamonsen

Graphic Designer

Perth, Australia
I’m a multidisciplinary designer, stylist and maker of things. Graphic design is my launching point. Need a logo, some stationery or a book designed? Let’s do it. I’ll listen, then make something perfect for you. Some quirky, bespoke styling? I can help with that, too. I work with up-cycled objects and things foraged from nature. Home is Fremantle, but I’ll travel anywhere for a collaborative fun project.
