OUR STORY
“Life outside the Box”
Lateral thinking is a manner of solving problems using an indirect and creative approach via reasoning that is not immediately obvious – ideas that may not be obtainable using traditional step-by-step logic.

Our Experiences
Chocolate Box was orginally founded to facilitate business owners create or regain the synergy between their Visual, Product and Operational elements of their venues.
Over the years, a broader range of property owners have required our ‘clarified vision’ and we have addressed this by providing an expanded range of solutions to our clients.
I grew up on the Gold Coast but spent many years working and exploring countries overseas – this is how we are inspired to take a ‘birds eye view’ approach to our inspired designs and cohesive project management style.
We recognise the Gold Coast increased demand for refined and sophisticated experiences whilst still keeping in tow with its laid back beach town vibe.

INDUSTRY EXPOSURE
Being able to really understand needs of our clients and the motivations of the consumer, stem from two decades of hands on industry exposure within Hotel, Hospitality and Real Estate Industry. I personally had a graphic design business based on the coast before I moved London and this has played an instrumental role in helping me build a solid foundation for our business that delivers consistent Visual Identities.
Over my years (and the countries) I have worked with high end boutique Hotel brands, created popular yet profitable Bar and Restaurants and Operated/Managed Residential Towers. We provide ourselves with having utilised our years of industry exposure so our clients are able to get the best results form their venue, investment property or workplace.
