NOW BOOKING 2026 branding & design projects

Fun to work with.
Serious about what we do.

Welcome to Happy Hour Studio, a Melbourne-based creative studio pouring up bold branding, thoughtful design, and marketing that actually works.

We build brands from scratch, give tired ones a glow-up, and help small businesses look like a big deal. Whether you need a logo, a full brand identity, or just someone to finally make your Instagram look cohesive, you’re in the right place.

We believe good design should feel as good as it looks. So we skip the jargon, skip the templates, and get straight to the good stuff: smart, personality-packed visuals that make people stop scrolling and start paying attention.

Who's
behind
all this?

That’d be us, Alecia and Ally. Best friends, creative collaborators, and the duo behind Happy Hour Studio.

We bring big ideas, bold thinking and a very organised Notion Planner. Between the two of us, you get clever design, strategic marketing and the kind of brand-building energy that makes things click (and stick).
