About Us
SolKind Studio is a senior-led brand and marketing studio built for businesses at moments that matter.
Steph Walker
Founder - Marketing & Brand Strategist
Steph has spent twenty years working inside and alongside some of Australia's most loved brands — not as a consultant watching from the outside, but embedded in the business, doing the work.
In-house at endota spa, ANTON Jewellery, Your Reformer, Chadstone Shopping Centre, Aspect Skincare and Strategy Director at Chain Social. Leading large teams, running brand and marketing workshops, launching into international markets, and scaling businesses to the kind of revenue months that change what's possible for a founder.
Across that time, a string of brands that women have built into something real — Maeemo, Bangn Body, Cake Maternity, Proud Poppy, RAEF the Label, Prene Bags, Gem, and more.
Twenty years of that teaches you something no brief can: what a brand actually needs versus what a founder thinks it needs. How to find the truth underneath the noise. When to push, when to pare back, and how to build something that holds.

Who We Are
Too many brands lose their way not from lack of ambition, but from chasing short-term results at the expense of purpose. Marketing captures attention. Brands build connection. Lasting growth only comes when the two are working from the same foundation.
That's the belief SolKind was built on.
We're a boutique agency specialising in brand, creative and marketing strategy — working with founders and leadership teams at the moments that matter most. When a business is ready to grow, reposition, or step into something bigger than it's been before.
We don't take a one-size-fits-all approach. Every engagement is shaped around your goals; drawing on a considered collective of creative, digital and marketing specialists to build the right team around the right problem. Strategy through to execution, without losing the thinking along the way.
Our Values
We read the room. We notice what isn't said as much as what is. Great brand strategy requires more than frameworks — it requires genuine attunement to the people, the business, and the brief. We bring that to every client relationship and every piece of work.
We don't produce generic output. We find the fresh angle, the unexpected framing, the idea that feels true rather than borrowed. Creativity isn't decoration at Solkind — it is the core of the work.
No pretension. No jargon for its own sake. We are accessible, direct, and human — with our clients and with each other. The work is serious. We don't have to be.
The Japanese philosophy of finding beauty in imperfection. We don't chase polish — we chase truth. A brand that is authentically itself, even in its rough edges, is more powerful than a perfected version of something generic.
Sol means soul. Kind means how we work. We go deeper than aesthetics, finding the heart of a brand and building from there.And we do it with experience, honesty, and kindness.
We believe brands are built long before they are seen
In the thinking.
In the choices.
In the moments where direction is set or quietly lost.
