LOGAN, QUEENSLAND, AUSTRALIA | 13 August 2026
Logan-based personalised party decorations and custom printing business
Katie J Design & Events has been named a finalist in the Creative Industries category of the 2026 Logan Business Distinction Awards.
The annual Logan Business Distinction Awards, presented by the Logan Chamber of Commerce, recognise businesses contributing to the strength, innovation and diversity of the Logan business community.
For founder and director
Katie Lynch, the finalist recognition marks another milestone in a business journey that began in 2014 and has grown from a small creative venture into an established Australian ecommerce and printing business serving customers nationwide.
“Being recognised as a finalist in the Creative Industries category is incredibly special because creativity has always been at the heart of Katie J Design & Events,” Katie said.
“Over the years, though, the business has become so much more than design. It now brings together creativity, professional printing, ecommerce, personalisation, technology and customer experience, all from right here in Logan.”
From party design to personalised printing and ecommerce
Katie J Design & Events specialises in
personalised party decorations, custom printing and print-on-demand products, with an extensive online collection designed to help customers create personalised celebrations, events and branded products.
Its range includes personalised banners, posters, stickers, party bags, invitations, water bottle labels, chocolate labels, wine and beer labels, bunting and other custom printed products.
Customers across Australia can personalise many products online, with technology allowing names, ages, photographs, event details and other elements to be customised before ordering.
The business has also continued to explore new ways of combining
design, ecommerce, automation and artificial intelligence, including AI-powered personalisation options and online party planning tools designed to make creating personalised celebrations easier and more accessible.
Katie said the evolution of the business reflects the changing way Australians shop, plan events and use technology.
“One of the things I love most about creative industries is that they never stand still. Design has changed, ecommerce has changed and now AI is changing how people interact with businesses and create personalised products.”
“For me, innovation isn't about using technology for the sake of it. It is about asking how we can make something easier, more useful or more enjoyable for the customer.”
A Logan small business with Australia-wide reach
While Katie J Design & Events serves customers throughout Australia, the business remains proudly based in the
City of Logan in South East Queensland.
Over more than a decade in business, Katie has continued to develop the company while remaining closely involved in its day-to-day operations, from product development and marketing to printing, packing and customer experience.
Alongside its personalised party range, the business has expanded its professional printing services for
small businesses, organisations, event professionals and community groups, creating new opportunities beyond the traditional celebration market.
Community connection has also remained an important part of the business, with Katie J Design & Events supporting a variety of community initiatives, schools, charities and local organisations through printing, product donations and volunteer involvement.
“Building a business in Logan and then being recognised by the local business community means a lot to me,” Katie said.
“You can spend so much time focused on customers, orders, technology and whatever challenge is in front of you that you don't always stop and look at how far the business has come. Being named a finalist has given me one of those moments.”

Regardless of the final result, Katie said being selected as a finalist was already something worth celebrating.
“There are so many incredible businesses operating in Logan, so I'm genuinely grateful to have Katie J Design & Events recognised alongside them.”
“I'm excited to attend the awards, meet more of the people building businesses in our region and celebrate what we're all creating here in Logan.”
