This year, not only did I get to witness my favourite animal up close and personal in the wild, but I got to incorporate one into a brand as well! 😍
Together with the amazing Clare from I had the absolute pleasure of working with Annalise to rebrand, re-name (and reveal) The Educator’s Burrow.
Annalise’s business (formerly known as Teach with Annalise) began as a side hustle built around little people (and certain lockdowns of 2020). She came to us wanting to transition from her DIY, informal “cutesy” brand, to a more professional, cohesive identity that still felt warm, relatable, and approachable. She wanted the branding to reflect the expert support she offers Australian teachers — particularly in areas like curriculum design, inclusive education, and real-world maths — while still feeling personal - one teacher helping out another!
It was important to have a real Aussie feel, and as soon as Annalise mentioned the possibility of incorporating a wombat into the brand, I jumped at the chance of getting to design with my fav animal!
The result? A brand that was grounded, with nature-inspired charm — playful but not childish, nostalgic but fresh.
We developed a range of ‘sticker-style’ brand elements to tap into the beloved teacher trope of stickers and stationery - adding layers of personality and fun. This also nods to millennial nostalgia (hello gel pens and scratch ‘n’ sniff stickers) while naturally resonating with Gen Z educators who live in GIFs, emojis, and animations.
Enjoy the reveal of one of my favourite projects for 2025, and if you’re one of my teacher friends- head on over and check out
