Acacia Stichter

With a global career spanning more than 20 years across print and digital, I’m a talented creative director who has worked with a broad range of companies, publications, products and personalities, specialising in brand design and art direction. 

I have led creative teams on bestselling women’s lifestyle titles Cosmopolitan and Cleo in Australia, launched Cosmopolitan Middle East and Stylist Arabia, and headed up the creative department at Harper’s Bazaar Arabia. All of these roles gave me the opportunity to not only direct fashion, beauty and celebrity shoots, but to also be at the helm as the magazines migrated from print-only products to become print-digital hybrids. 

Outside of editorial, I’ve also been commissioned to complete such projects as reworking the branding for Australian fashion designer Steven Khalil, creating the covers for two of Australian influencer Roxy Jacenko’s best-selling books - More recently, I have worked closely with high a high profile sports agency on material for their NFL and NBA stars such as Travis Kelce and Na’Shon Hylan.

While living in Dubai I founded my own agency, Havoc Creative, and later Moody Squirrel Design after moving to the USA, where I worked closely with clients to understand their branding goals and to create a wide range of assets to use within their marketing campaigns.
