The Studio
The studio is small, the creative isn't. The process is simple, the design isn't.
Here's how it works;
One conversation, one creative, one person actually doing the work.
There's no moment where you realise you're three steps removed from the person actually making it. No chasing for updates. No wondering if your feedback landed. Shay's across it from the first conversation to the final file.
The rates are for the creative — not the overhead. No account management fees baked in, no layers, just a number that makes sense for what you actually got.
Shay Waters
Your Personal Creative
Once the in-house creative for 15 years, Shay stepped out and founded Humber & Waters on a simple belief: the quality of the work shouldn't depend on the size of the budget.
That's meant working across two very different worlds — multi-million dollar property developments, five-star hospitality groups, and global wellness brands on one side; first-time founders, start-ups, local institutions, and grassroots businesses on the other.
The scale changes. The rigour doesn't.
Every project gets the same thinking, the same standards, and the same person — from the first conversation to the final file.
On a personal note, Shay lives in the Noosa hinterland, in the little town of Kin Kin, with her family. She loves a large pour, live music, and great food.
