Hi there, it’s nice to meet you
I'm Jane Byrne,
graphic designer
I established Little Gem Design in 2013, a graphic design studio based in Lower Hutt, Wellington. When I started my business, I wanted to help other small business owners create meaningful visual designs that showcased their expertise and aligned with their business values and unique qualities.
With over 20 years of experience as a graphic designer, I’ve developed a collaborative design process that can be tailored to suit any business. I focus on simplicity and function, creating clean, intuitive design where every element has a purpose.
I work from my home in Lower Hutt with my trusty sidekick Qi’ra (a gorgeous golden retriever). When I’m not collaborating with clients, you can find me working on a home renovation project or behind my camera lens, capturing precious family moments.
MY MISSION
To create strategic, purposeful brand identities, websites, and graphic design for service-based small businesses, helping them communicate clearly, connect with the right audience, and present their work with confidence.

Brand Values
Collaboration
Working with my clients to understand their business purpose, values, and unique qualities ensures that the designs meet their vision and business needs and aim to extend their expectations.
Simplicity
Keeping the design simple ensures easy understanding and directs the viewer to the essential elements, creating a timeless, visually appealing design that looks great and stands out.
Craftsmanship
Craftmanship as a graphic designer involves care and attention to the little details, creating designs with meaning and functionality through careful consideration of typography, colour, and layout.
