I have had the pleasure of working with Bettina and her and her team since 2020 on various design elements and publications for Yuwaya Ngarra-li, including our annual report to our philanthropic funder, templates and infographics illustrating various collaborative projects with the Dharriwaa Elders Group, Walgett, focused on food and water security and diversion of Aboriginal young people from the criminal justice system.
Bettina and Heike bring extensive skills and experience as well as a deeply respectful, nuanced understanding of communicating social justice issues to a broad audience. They are committed to working in a community-led way, and always manage to turn our ideas and content into accessible and engaging outputs while remaining calm, clear and responsive.

I have had the pleasure of working with BKAD for the last 3 years on a variety of projects for Sydney Youth Orchestras, including our Annual Reports, Strategic Plan and Audition Handbook.
There is a lovely process of enquiry that happens when we work together. Bettina really takes the time to understand our organisation, the purpose of the document, and the narrative we want to tell.
Bettina and her team go above and beyond to produce beautiful work. For example, on SYO’s 2019 Annual Report, Bettina and team beautifully appropriated designs from another artist into new pages, which meant that our new document told the same visual story as our 2019 collateral. We love the custom designs so much, I am framing them and putting them on our office walls.
We can’t recommend BKAD highly enough.

Bettina has not only made our books look absolutely beautiful and totally pickupable, she is a dream to work with. Betty listens. Teases out the different possibilities, helping our team of authors and editors crystallise key themes. Transforms them into works of art. It is an exciting and rewarding process to work with her.

Bettina Kaiser designed and illustrated my debut collection of poetry and prose, SIARAD. Bettina consulted with me every step of the way. From layout and book dimensions to font and illustrations, it was a team effort; and a process that taught me a lot about my own work and book publishing. We had a tight deadline but that didn’t phase Bettina, who always regarded problems as opportunities for creativity. I had such a wonderful time working on this project that I felt quite sad when it came to an end. The product I’ve ended up with is wonderful. Bold, innovative, and beautiful, the book Bettina created is so much more than a book. It’s a work of art. I couldn’t be happier.

Bettina has a lot of enthusiasm to find out about the business she is working for and therefore the new website is spot on for my business and my customers.
The amount of direct contacts through my website form has gone up considerably after the overhaul.
I appreciated her insights about SEO so I could not only write great posts, but posts that deliver direct traffic to my website.

Bettina is talented, creative, and a sheer pleasure to work with. She is up for any design challenge and is attentive to our needs. Some of the best results have been with designs that were a bit ‘out there’ and unexpectedly brilliant so I’ve loved being surprised and delighted by Bettina’s excellence.

It has been an absolute joy working with Bettina. Together we have worked on a full rebrand program as well as initiatives targeting diverse audiences from kids, families and new mums to academics and the politically-minded. Not only does Bettina have the most creative eye and interesting perspective, she is always so organised and methodical, often offering insights and suggestions that we have adopted in our approach. I cannot recommend Bettina highly enough.

Resource Recovery Australia has worked with Bettina on a range of graphics and marketing tools for our website, film and stationery.
It’s great to also have a designer who choses to work with clients based on a genuine interest and commitment to their business, and what it stands for. Bettina also likes to train her clients in building their own skills and capacity to update and maintain the materials she develops, so you get all that extra warm buzz of having her truly on board.

A special thanks needs to go to Bettina Kaiser who provides marketing, design and web support. Without her very great effort, the NCT machine would grind to a complete halt.
