Background

Jade Rennie is the founder of The Brain Child, the creative design studio located on the South Coast of NSW. Specialising in logo design, branding, web design and offers design services to business and not-for-profits, ultimately growing their business through her creative designs.

Obtaining a diploma in arts (illustration) after high school introduced her to the world of digital design. Adding style editor, business admin, buying, marketing and sales to the CV over the next seven years took her from Melbourne to Sydney to Singapore to presently, the South Coast, NSW.

Jade is an extremely motivated, organised and disciplined boss lady, you have to be when you become a mother. Throw a few interstate moves and leaving her support network so her partner can live his dream of becoming a Doctor took great organisation, determination, and strength. It was a case of adapt or die trying.

Moving interstate from her hometown of Mornington on the Mornington Peninsula VIC to the rural community of Nowra in NSW; moved her away from her friends, her family and to some degree her identity. Keeping her and her family afloat financially in this new town was a huge instigator to be successfully self-employed. To work around the kids at home was an obvious good choice, with two kids under 3 at the time. The children were also a big driver behind building The Brain Child business and promoting herself as a graphic designer. We teach our kids every day to be brave and follow their dreams, but how often do we lead by example? The Brain Child was born with all hope of it growing into a business that would allow Jade and her family financial freedom.

The design work that she pours her creativity into also feeds her soul.
