Kookaburra sits on the old gum tree,
Merry merry king of the bush is he.

The studios of Michael Bird Design have been firmly ensconced in the Northern Rivers
since shifting from Balmain in Sydney Town in January 2003.
Taking time to smell the gum leaves but remaining sharp as a tack.

We include in our portfolio an array of advertising and promotional literature, point-of-sale,
corporate branding and packaging design built up over more than two decades from working with
a diverse range of clients and briefs. We enjoy our work.

Michael is a drawing-board-trained graduate of the School of Graphic Design, Randwick TAFE
(now Enmore Design Centre) Sydney, and still maintains a scalpel and a clutch pencil or two.
Michael lectured in Typographic Design and Business Communication at the School during the 1980s.

Michael is also an Architectural Drafting graduate and during the 70s, worked in that discipline
in both Sydney and London. This background is reflected in the technical illustration
and the architectural design and rendering displayed in this portfolio.
