about us

Dr Stuart Baulk (Director)

BSc (Hons), BDes, PhD, DipBus, DipM

 

Stuart started Sleeping Bear in 2012 as a way to help small businesses and non-profit organisations to grow their presence. Since then he has worked with clients in a number of industries to develop print, digital and web designs.

Sleeping Bear was always an adventure in his own learning – a little like a never-ending internship.

Having studied psychology after finishing high school, Stuart worked as a consultant, researcher and lecturer for a number of years, completing a PhD in applied psychology and working with various industry groups in research and consulting.

But there was always something missing. Always being the go-to person for both technical and creative elements of work – he regularly designed presentations and websites. Eventually the direction shifted and Sleeping Bear was born.

Stuart’s Bachelors degree in Communication Design, BSc (Honours) and PhD in Psychology, and diplomas in Marketing and Business, together with extensive experience in communicating complex information to a wide audience give him the skills to help your business become visible, competitive and successful.

Jay Chavan (Designer)

MDes, BDes, DipArts

 

Jay is a creative individual who appreciates learning about many customs, pop culture, video games, technology, motorcycles, and muscle cars. He is organised, disciplined and enthusiastic, and has an eye for detail and a talent for problem solving.

With experience in UI/UX design and app development, Jay is always learning and evolving in terms of design and visualisation. Having completed his diploma and bachelor’s degrees in design in India, Jay moved to Australia to study for a Masters degree at UniSA.
At the end of this higher education journey, Jay decided to ask some advice from one of his tutors – and was hired by Sleeping Bear in late 2022.
Bringing his interests in minimalistic and digital art, logo design and Japanese culture, Jay works creatively across both web and online learning projects, as well as being involved in the Port Adelaide Diversity and Inclusion Film Festival
