Why Straight Lines?

Our founder Belinda is a self-confessed Silverchair super-fan  who as a design student dreamt of designing album covers for the band.

Silverchair’s song ‘Straight Lines’ also influenced the business name, along with our straight down the line, no-nonsense approach to great design and marketing solutions.

Straight Lines Design & Marketing was founded by Belinda in 2007 – she wanted to bring her city design-agency experience back to her hometown, to help local businesses succeed through effective marketing and design.

I really want to help regional businesses thrive – we’ve built a base of local clients who trust us with their marketing needs. We’re always looking for innovative ways to achieve more through design and marketing, and we genuinely want to see our customers succeed” – Belinda.

Today, Straight Lines Design & Marketing is a five-strong team (including our director of security Penny the Daschund), and Belinda’s dream of a full-service agency focused on helping local businesses thrive is a reality.
