We design and build branded Word and PowerPoint templates that work – every time.

Document design for your reports, proposals and presentations, built as templates your team can use every day. Led by Kim Reeves. Trusted by Australia's biggest brands, and its smallest, since 2003.

01 – Document design

We design documents that get noticed, and bring your brand to life in the files you use every day: letters, reports, proposals and presentations. 

Designers can be confident we'll flag anything that won't translate well into a template.

Robust, user-friendly Word and PowerPoint templates with simple instructions. Built with the structure WCAG 2.2 Level AA asks for, as standard. 

If you're a designer, the integrity of your design is safe with us; you'll be surprised by what's possible in Office. 

 If your current template is broken, we rebuild rather than patch. Patching carries the problems forward. See our free guide.

We'll make your documents sing. We move existing content into your new templates so everything looks great and communicates clearly, without the late-night formatting wrestle. 

These are tools used every day, and nothing is more frustrating than a template that doesn't function as it should. With Kim, we've never had that issue.

AI-ready, as standard. Your AI tools are only as on-brand as your templates.

Every template we build is ready for your entire team – whether they use Copilot, Claude or just start from a blank page. That means theme colours and fonts set in the template, real placeholders and heading styles, and enough layouts for what your team actually makes, so text drafted with AI has the right style to go into.
It's not an add-on for AI users. It's built into every template, for everyone. 

AI-ready templates

Accessible, as standard. Your documents are only as accessible as the template underneath.

Every template we build has the structure WCAG 2.2 Level AA asks for: real heading styles, a logical reading order, alt text and proper table headers, built in so every document your team creates already has it. When we design the template, we check your brand colours against the contrast minimum too.
It's not an extra you pay for. It's built into every template, for everyone.

Matt joined the business in 2013 and keeps everything running: template development, document design and all things admin. For big projects we partner with trusted industry experts, and your details never leave our circle without permission.

    We're researchers, not designers, so having someone we can rely on completely has been invaluable. We highly recommend Kim to anyone looking for a talented designer who is both creative and practical.

    Giving back

    We build templates that help people feel confident with the page in front of them. Story Dogs does the same thing where it matters most: their volunteer dog teams sit one-on-one with children who are struggling to read, in schools right across Australia. That's why we're a Story Dogs supporting partner: $10 from every custom template job we complete goes to Story Dogs, tallied monthly, donated quarterly, and reported exactly as given.


    Every template helps a child learn to read.
