Socially progressive practice
Sustainable, ethical design. We pick the partners and the projects that align with that.
About the studio
Reports that work as hard as the people who write them.
Annual Report Designers is the dedicated reporting studio of Jen Clark Design. A Melbourne-based practice trusted by Australian boards, NFPs and listed companies since 2011. Based in Melbourne, delivering for every state, capital and region across Australia. We don't do logos, brochures or websites. We design the document your auditor approves and your stakeholders actually read.

- 120+ reports delivered
- AGDA + DIA professional member
- WCAG 2.1 AA as standard

Our mission
Make every annual report clear, accurate, accessible. And worth reading.
For most stakeholders, the annual report is the one document they will read about your organisation all year. We design it like that matters. Clarity over cleverness. Accessibility in scope from day one. One studio for the whole document, cover to colophon.
- 01
Clear
Editorial structure built around the reader, not the table of contents. Plain English narrative around the financials and disclosures.
- 02
Accurate
Every chart reconciles back to the audited number line. Footnotes, base years and assurance status sit on the page where the data lives.
- 03
Accessible
WCAG 2.1 AA tagged PDFs, screen-reader tested in NVDA and VoiceOver. Designed so every stakeholder reads the same report.
- 04
Worth reading
A document the board is proud to hand over and shareholders open more than once. Editorial photography, considered typography, real care.
Specialist studio based in Woodend, on the doorstep of Melbourne. Trusted by reporting teams in Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Canberra and Hobart for interactive PDF, WCAG accessible and ESG and sustainability reports across ASX listed, government and not-for-profit sectors.
Meet the founder
Jen Clark
Founder & Creative Director
I have 25 years experience as a graphic designer and creative / design director. Having delivered branding, editorial and reporting work for over 100 small businesses, organisations and listed companies across Australia and internationally, I am widely regarded as a brand and reporting specialist. Annual reports are now the focus of this studio.
I hold a Graduate Diploma in Communication Design (Distinction) from RMIT, full professional membership of the Australian Graphic Design Association (AGDA), and full professional membership of the Design Institute of Australia (MDIA).
My professional background includes four years managing the Interactive Design team at Sensis Pty Ltd, and five years as Co-Director of Ripe Off The Press, an award-winning independent art and design publisher and multi-disciplinary studio. Prior to establishing Jen Clark Design in 2011, I was Creative Director at Salsa Digital, a digital design agency in inner-north Melbourne. Annual Report Designers is the reporting specialism that grew out of that practice.
Outside of running the studio, I am partner to Kirstie and devoted Mum to Max. I am also a member of the neurodivergent community (autistic / ADHD), with a strong, socially progressive, feminist ethos.
"Clients are increasingly seeking a partner that fundamentally gets their business and tailors high-quality creative solutions accordingly. That is where I come in."by Jen Clark
