Clever Mamma Profile: 3eightone

This week say a big Clever Mamma hello to the very talented Carmelina Heberle from 3eightone. Based in Melbourne's eastern suburbs, this creative business mum offers graphic design services across a wide range of industries, and with two gorgeous littlies is certainly kept on her toes as well.

1. Tell us a little about yourself and your business... I am a graphic designer and owner of 3eightone, I have two beautiful babies Ava 4 and Max 18months. My graphic design business covers all facets of print design from branding and advertising to wall prints and birth cards. My work and clients span several industries including the arts, retail, health and training. When our handsome little man was born in 2010 so was my online business 3eightone junior. My print and card collections have been inspired by our gorgeous little girl and her love of type, words and pictures. I also work part time as a graphic designer in the corporate world whilst running my businesses. My future goal is to run my businesses full-time. My business gives me the opportunity to do what I love, design and hopefully in the near future being more flexible for my beautiful family.

2. How did your business begin? Owning my business and doing what I love doing and being there for my beautiful family is why 3eightone exists.

3. The bits I love... Running my own business which is creative and innovative and results in happy clients.

4. The bits I not-so-love... Finding the right balance between work and family life.

5. Any tips for other Clever Mammas? Follow your dreams, Stay positive, Enjoy what you do, Believe in yourself.

6. Devonshire Tea versus Coffee & Cake??? Earl grey (sometimes cake!)
