Bunyip (Bun-yip) - A mythical creature from Australian Aboriginal mythology.
Welcome to the Bunyip Collective. An edgy Creative Studio located just off the main drag in Phoenixville, PA.
G’Day! My name is Dan Milbourne, and I am the Creative Director/Designer here at The Bunyip Collective. Originally from Australia, I moved to Phoenixville in 2006.
Drawing from more than twenty years of experience, my dedication lies in empowering my clients through visual communication, ensuring their businesses not only KICK ASS but also boldly STAND OUT in a crowd!
When I am not in my studio, you can usually find me hiking one of the local trails with my pup Tehya, or behind my spanky little Gaggia Classic Pro espresso machine rocking my coffee skills. I LOVE a yummy latte!
Meet Tehya, our studio's lively Blue Heeler pup! She's a bit of a character, well mannered most of the time, except when it comes to playful nibbling on arms, fingers, and ankles! She’s super quick, and has a talent for herding small children. But what she really LOVES is the water. She’s obsessed! Swimming, splashing, back stroke, doggy paddle, you name it. She loves it. She’s a good girl.
Blue Heeler - A breed of herding dog originally developed in Australia for droving cattle. Half blue Merle Collie, half Dingo.
Our clients are awesome and incredibly diverse, ranging from Craft Distilleries and Breweries to Artists, Landscape Architects, Retailers, Community Advocates, Mental Health and Wellness organizations, and even Competitive Axe Throwing Venues, just to highlight a few.
“I would highly recommend Dan to anyone looking to revamp their business. From branding to marketing, website design and more, Dan has brilliant ideas. He is patient, he’s an excellent listener and he asks the right questions. I am super appreciative of Dan’s help to bring my best foot forward and I am looking forward to working with him more in the future!”

“It was such an honor to have worked with The Bunyip Collective! I felt my values heard and interpreted well. I felt challenged to think outside the box on my communication and my target audience. Dan is very professional, adaptable, creative and timely. Dan is also a badass muthafuckin dude. I appreciated that Dan has other cultural experiences and firm values. When I find it difficult at times to be understood because of my unique life story and inherited values due to living in different countries. Dan made me feel understood and accepted. Work with Bunyip if you’re tired of being a little bitch.”

“We chose to work with Dan to create a logo, tagline, branding and color palette for our new small business. It was clear from the beginning how our process with Dan would take shape. He had a prepared timeframe as well as straightforward pricing for our needs. Although we worked in a different time zone from him, Dan made himself available for zoom conferencing that worked well with our schedules. He is a terrific listener and offered some concepts we would have never thought of ourselves. Dan captured the spirit of our budding new business and now we are proud and excited to splash our carefully crafted logo on anything we can get our hands on. We highly recommend working with Dan for all your branding and design needs.”

“I have used Dan’s website design and management services for years now. He really tries to get to know you and your company to make sure the website is designed to fit the look of the business and the needs of the consumer. He is prompt, has great attention to detail, and offers good insight for usability and design.”

“Working with the Bunyip Collective on a branding project for our gym, MontanaFit, was fantastic. Dan laid out exactly how the process would work and communicated regularly throughout so I was never left wondering what would happen next. He listened carefully to what our business was all about and continued to refine things as we went along until we got to an awesome final product. If you are just starting up or looking for a brand refresh like we were I would highly recommend the Bunyip Collective for your design and branding needs.”

“Dan consistently delivers on time, and understands what I'm looking for, even if I don't! His designs are relevant and the results are high quality. He is open to feedback and explains what he was going for if I missed it, but adjusts to my feedback when necessary and can easily pivot to different styles and vibes to fit the business need. He is very flexible, professional and easy to work with. I'd recommend Dan to anyone looking for a designer without hesitation.”

“Dan is a fantastic designer and excellent to work with. He "gets it" very quickly, and often surprises us with designs he's thought of for our brand which are on point but we never would have thought of ourselves.”

“From working with Dan in various situations including athletics, business, graphic design, and event management, I am comfortable in saying there are not many people who handle themselves as well as Dan, and few who I enjoy working with more.”
