Paul Murphy
design & creative direction
I've been making things since I was a kid: drawings, films, stories, whatever was in front of me. I spent years trying to pick a lane between design, writing, and directing before realising I didn't have to. Now I work across all three, as a creative director who's built the toolkit by hand instead of by theory.
paulimorph(pau-li-morph)
noun. From the Greek polymorphos: poly, "many," and morphē, "form." A thing that takes many shapes and keeps its nature through all of them.
That's the word this name comes from, and it's close to how I actually work. Different mediums, same instinct underneath: trying to understand what it means to be a person moving through this life, and turning that into something someone can read, watch, or stand in front of.

what people are saying
"Murphy's designs strike the balance between clean and effective, making a real impression on the audiences and customers of whoever hires him."
Simon - Jogues Productions
"When undertaking the monumental task of producing and directing a play in 2025 it was a huge relief to have someone like Paul Murphy take on the task of marketing and design. He produced a series of exquisite posters for the play and highly detailed play bills that were above industry standard. Paul’s creativity, originality, passion and good taste made the entire collaboration a delightful experience. I highly recommend his marketing and design services to anyone who wants eye catching, detailed and sophisticated designs that audiences and consumers will love."
Timothy - Bunyip Barons Playwright
"Paul created posters for our circus that really captured the spirit of circus. His work combined new and old artwork that expressed the golden age of circus, shown in a modern way."
Patrick - Circus McCabe
"Paul did a terrific job summing up the ethos of our brand in one succinct design. With minimal direction, he crafted a graphic that served as the perfect logo for our social media page. Paul is easy to work with and gifted at what he does."
