Lisa Previte
Artist • Graphic designer • Surface Pattern designer

I am the creative behind Allured Design, a small design business located at the doorstep of the World Heritage Daintree Rainforest in the beautiful Port Douglas/Mossman area in Far North Queensland, Australia.
I have professional experience as a Graphic Designer since 2012 and have been helping personal, small to medium-sized businesses from starting to needing a refresh on branding, design and artwork.

I get super excited and a tiny bit nervous about receiving new work opportunities that will enable me to use my creative talent and professional experiences to aid with personal and professional business growth.

My style for Illustration
Rural Coastal x Country
Based in tropical north Queensland, we are surrounded by so much natural inspiration from the dirt, creeks, rivers, beaches and reefs. We value living presently with a focus on what matters, with a huge outdoors and earthy nature inspiration. Simple, slow living, no hustle and bustle just enjoying what matters and brings happyness.
Feeling relaxed, calm, quiet and natural.

Timeline

Growing up from a young age, like most creatives, I was artistic and as the years went on, developing skills to become a young artist, winning awards by early teens and excelling in all things art-y.
By 2005, paintings had developed into a professional standard. Invited to present an exhibition of work in the Douglas Shire and local businesses still display the artwork on their walls with the beautiful natural themes being inspired but the local area.
Eventually, these skills led to studying Graphic design in 2012, which became a great extension. After working in a few Cairns and Mossman-based studios and gaining great experience, Allured Design was established in 2014 as an opportunity to provide a service for many people to help present their stories and branding needs. In the journey of parenthood, I recognized an opportunity to evolve the business by incorporating hand-drawn elements. This change not only aligned with the desires expressed by customers but also added a delightful dimension and creation of beautiful, useful artworks into the world.

Lifestyle

My family of 5 (Mum of 3 beautiful little kids) live on acreage with our kelpie dog and a few cows. We also are establishing a Tropical Cocoa Orchard for cocoa beans, and my Husband is a crane operator and a bit of a jack of all trades, which comes in handy. We all grew up in the Douglas Shire and have close ties to the Far North and enjoy the lifestyle of where we live and take every chance we have to get outdoors and experience the natural wonders around us in the four wheel drive, boat, quad or on foot.

I look forward to collaborating with you and creating something special.
