There is something quietly special about Starfish Collective. Founded by Shirlee, a thoughtful and talented maker, this brand has grown from humble market beginnings into a beautifully refined gifting business that still holds onto its warmth and soul. Every candle is poured with care and presented with the kind of quality that instantly feels considered.

I have had the pleasure of working with Shirlee since her early Starfish Scarborough days and it has been inspiring to watch her grow her business into what it is today. What started as a creative passion has become a destination for local, corporate and boutique gifting, especially for those who want their gifts to feel personal and made with intention.

Each candle tells a story of quality and craft. The scents are elegant and long lasting, the finishes are meticulous, and the labelling and presentation reflect the attention to detail that sets Shirlee’s work apart. Her corporate clients know they are not just sending out gifts, they are sharing something heartfelt and memorable, created by hand right here in Queensland.

I am proud to design for Shirlee and to help bring her vision to life through custom packaging and label design that complements the quality of her products. Collaborations like this are a reminder that great design is not just about looks, it is about helping local makers and small businesses present their craft in the best possible light.
