About Us

Welcome

I’m Kelly, Wife, mum to three children, and fur mum to our Border Collie and Golden Labrador. We’re lucky to call the beautiful Fraser Coast region of Queensland, Australia, our home.

This website is my creative space, a place where I share my love for photography and bring to life Island View Designs, a social enterprise dedicated to meaningful projects that support both creativity and community.

Island View Connect Magazine

Each new issue of Island View Connect Magazine is released on the 20th of every month.

This free monthly magazine is designed to shine a light on the Fraser Coast’s small businesses, community groups, and small local events, helping them connect with residents across the region.

My hope is that the magazine not only makes it easier for residents to discover and support local businesses, but also serves as a resource for individuals and families to find community groups that foster wellbeing, reduce isolation, and strengthen community ties. This can be especially valuable for those new to the Fraser Coast.

For small businesses, Island View Connect Magazine offers affordable advertising options, with every ad including clickable links so readers can easily explore services or book directly.

Community groups, fundraisers, and any local events receive free advertising to help share their message.

Readers can read the magazine each month in several ways:

• By joining the free mailing list to receive it directly via email
• Through notifications and pinned posts on our Facebook page
• By following us on Instagram
• Or by visiting the website at any time to read the latest issue

Gift Hampers - Coming Soon

I’m currently developing a Gift Hamper called A Taste of Fraser to further support several local businesses, a local charity, and a variety of community groups. It's getting closer to being ready to launch – stay tuned!

Australian Landscape Photography

All of the photographs featured here are my own, captured during our travels across Australia. They are available as digital downloads, giving you the freedom to print them at home or through your preferred local or online print service, in the size and finish that best suits your space.

You can also follow Island View Designs, Island View Connect Magazine and now Island View Gift Hampers on Facebook and Instagram to keep up with the latest news and updates.

Thank you for being part of this journey.

Owner + Founder of Island View Designs
