I’m Keane — a Wellington-based layout designer and visual storyteller with 20+ years in print, publication, and brand design.
Before going freelance in 2013, I spent seven years in agencies and worked across magazine houses, internal design departments, and international publications — including PC Magazine in Singapore and Malaysia.
Since then I’ve worked with Kiwibank (via Ogilvy), Meridian, Genesis, Wellington City Council, and Treasury on everything from long-form documents and share offers to campaign collateral and digital banners. I’m happy working solo or slotting in as part of your team — whichever suits the job.
What I do
- Print design & production — annual reports, long-form documents, booklets, brochures
- Brand identity & collateral — logos, wordmarks, campaign materials
- Publication design — magazines, newsletters, interactive PDFs
- Digital — social media banners, animated banner layouts
- Retouching — compositing, colour grading, frequency separation
Photography
Alongside design, I run Keane Chan Photos — commercial and portrait photography covering personal branding, dance and performance, events, and cosplay.

Working with me
On-site or remote. From a brief or brand guidelines — I’m flexible. I give you an estimate upfront so there are no surprises on cost or timeline. I’m known for being easy to work with, hitting deadlines, and genuinely caring about the finished result. Always happy to start with a coffee and a chat.
