Meet Kelsie,

Creative mind. Rural heart. Big believer in small business.

Hey, I’m Kelsie - a graphic designer, photographer, and passionate supporter of small businesses, especially those rooted in agriculture.

Growing up on a dairy farm in Northern Victoria sparked my love for agriculture, creativity, and photography. That rural upbringing laid the foundation for what I do today - combining my passion for visual storytelling with a deep understanding of the ag industry. I genuinely enjoy connecting with like-minded people in this ever-evolving space and value the growth that comes from new challenges and experiences.

Kelsie Hore Design & Photography began as a side hustle - a creative outlet to explore design, marketing, and photography. I never imagined it would become what it is today. In January 2023, I took a leap of faith, left full-time employment, and backed myself to build my business full-time. It’s been a wild ride (as all great things are), but I wouldn’t change a thing.

Now based in Bacchus Marsh, I work with clients across Australia, helping businesses create standout brands, practical marketing materials, and photo libraries that feel authentic and uniquely theirs.

Whether you’re after a logo that truly reflects you, or photos that capture your story - I’m here to make it happen. With over 10 years of experience and a heart for grassroots communities, I bring creative solutions, and a whole lot of care to every project.

I focus on creating unique work that’s specific to your business and brand - always aiming to make the process simple, collaborative, and enjoyable. I know the rural and ag industries inside out (especially dairy) and pride myself on delivering work that feels real, relatable, and right for you.

Here’s what I bring to the table:

I Get Ag

Growing up on a dairy farm means I truly understand the rural lifestyle and the unique needs of ag-based businesses - especially in the dairy industry.

Communication

No fancy lingo or tech jargon - just friendly chats, honest advice, and someone who’s genuinely here to help you grow.

Creativity with heart

Whether it’s branding, design, or photography, I bring colour, passion and personal touches to every project - with the goal of fast turnarounds and a big-picture mindset.

Every Design is truly yours

No Templates, no copy-paste jobs - I create one-of-a-kind designs that reflect you, your story, and what makes your business stand out.

A process that makes sense

I’ve refined my workflow so it's clear, collaborative and stress-free. You’ll always know where we’re at, what’s next, and feel confident in the outcome.

Rooted in small business

I’ve built my own business from the ground up, so I understand the juggle. I’m here to make your brand work hard for you - with designs that are both beautiful and practical.

  • Wilba, my long hair dachshund, is my loyal companion and often by my side. (And in plenty of my photos!)

  • Coordinator of the local Monday Ladies Tennis Competition in the Marsh, bringing together women for an enjoyable competition.

  • While I love working on bookings, I also enjoy taking photos for fun whenever I can.

  • I’m always looking to learn something new, whether it's a new creative technique or a fresh skill to expand my knowledge.

  • A love for animals: Growing up on a dairy farm, I’ve always had a strong love and appreciation for animals - they always brighten your day.

  • Creative problem solver: I thrive on finding unique solutions to challenges, whether it’s designing something new for a client or figuring out the perfect shot for a photo.

  • Tennis fan: I’m not just a coordinator - I love playing tennis (I may not be great) and enjoy the friendly competition and camaraderie that comes with it.

  • I sometimes do my best creative work late at night, when it’s quiet and the ideas are flowing.

  • I genuinely love seeing my designs on shirts, hats, signs, and even sale catalogues out in the real world.

  • Country shows and dairy events hold a special place in my heart – I’ve spent many weekends helping and taking photos ringside where I can.

  • I’ve worn a few hats over the years – from catalogue layouts to data entry – and love how varied my days can be.

  • I find joy in the simple things, like a sunset walk with Wilba or a freshly printed book designed by yours truly.
