ABOUT
Bunyip (Bun-yip) - A mythical creature from Australian Aboriginal mythology.
Welcome to The Bunyip Collective. An edgy Creative Studio located just off the main drag in Phoenixville, PA.
DAN MILBOURNE
G’Day! My name is Dan Milbourne, and I’m the Creative Director/Designer here at The Bunyip Collective. Originally from Australia, I packed my bags and moved to Phoenixville, PA in 2006.
With over 20 years of experience in Branding and Design (20 years, holy shit!) I’m committed to creating lasting partnerships with my clients, empowering them to present their brands boldly and confidently, so they can feel proud to stand behind them and excited to share with others.
When I am not in my studio, you can usually find me hiking one of the local trails with my dog Tehya, or playing around behind my espresso machine crafting the perfect coffee.
I LOVE me some coffee! Seriously, let’s grab a coffee!
Tehya (TEY-YA)
Meet Tehya, our studio Blue Heeler! She's a bit of a fire cracker, well mannered most of the time, except when it comes to nibbling on arms, fingers, and ankles! She’s pretty quick, and has mad skills for herding small children. She LOVES, LOVES, LOVES the water. She’s obsessed! Swimming, back stroke, doggy paddle, you name it. She loves it!
Blue Heeler - A breed of herding dog originally from Australia for droving cattle. 50% Dingo, and 50% Blue Merle Collie. Did I mention 50% Dingo?
OUR CLIENTS
Our clients are awesome and incredibly diverse, ranging from Craft Distilleries and Breweries to Artists, Landscape Architects, Retailers, Community Advocates, Mental Health and Wellness organizations, and even Competitive Axe Throwing Venues, just to highlight a few.
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
“I had such a positive experience working with Dan on my business's logo and website! As we are both designers, Dan and I were able to sketch through ideas for the logo and develop business name ideas. After this process, he helped me create a website that showcases my personality and my ideas for my landscape architecture company. I highly recommend Dan to business owners!”

“I would like to say it was a pleasure working with Dan on my shirt design. I have never actually hired a designer for my shirts, but after talking and getting to know Dan and what he did, I said, "Let’s try it out." At first, I wasn’t too sure how the process worked or how Dan came up with a design. At our first design meeting, I got to see how his creative genius comes in, and I’ll be honest, it made me think differently about advertising and designing logos. I actually learned to view things differently that I would never have thought about. It was quite impressive, just from one meeting. Dan was able to give me a great design, worked at my own pace, met me at my business, which made it convenient, and responded quickly to any questions I had. I am very happy with my decision. Dan is a true professional and a good man, or a good Aussie, I should say.”

“It was such an honor to have worked with The Bunyip Collective! I felt my values heard and interpreted well. I felt challenged to think outside the box on my communication and my target audience. Dan is very professional, adaptable, creative and timely. Dan is also a badass dude. I appreciated that Dan has other cultural experiences and firm values. When I find it difficult at times to be understood because of my unique life story and inherited values due to living in different countries. Dan made me feel understood and accepted.”

“We chose to work with Dan to create a logo, tagline, branding and color palette for our new small business. It was clear from the beginning how our process with Dan would take shape. He had a prepared timeframe as well as straightforward pricing for our needs. Although we worked in a different time zone from him, Dan made himself available for zoom conferencing that worked well with our schedules. He is a terrific listener and offered some concepts we would have never thought of ourselves. Dan captured the spirit of our budding new business and now we are proud and excited to splash our carefully crafted logo on anything we can get our hands on. We highly recommend working with Dan for all your branding and design needs.”

He really tries to get to know you and your company to make sure the website is designed to fit the look of the business and the needs of the consumer. He is prompt, has great attention to detail, and offers good insight for usability and design.”

“Working with the Bunyip Collective on a branding project for our gym, MontanaFit, was fantastic. Dan laid out exactly how the process would work and communicated regularly throughout so I was never left wondering what would happen next. He listened carefully to what our business was all about and continued to refine things as we went along until we got to an awesome final product. If you are just starting up or looking for a brand refresh like we were I would highly recommend the Bunyip Collective for your design and branding needs.”

“Dan consistently delivers on time, and understands what I'm looking for, even if I don't! His designs are relevant and the results are high quality. He is open to feedback and explains what he was going for if I missed it, but adjusts to my feedback when necessary and can easily pivot to different styles and vibes to fit the business need. He is very flexible, professional and easy to work with. I'd recommend Dan to anyone looking for a designer without hesitation.”

“Dan is a fantastic designer and excellent to work with. He "gets it" very quickly, and often surprises us with designs he's thought of for our brand which are on point but we never would have thought of ourselves.”

“From working with Dan in various situations including athletics, business, graphic design, and event management, I am comfortable in saying there are not many people who handle themselves as well as Dan, and few who I enjoy working with more.”
