JumpCactus Design is the result of the dreaming, playing and designing done by mother-of-two graphic designer Ivy Verghese Thompson.

Ivy graduated with a Bachelor of Design/ Visual Communication from Monash University in 2005. She then went on to study a MA of Advertising at RMIT in Melbourne. She completed her degree in 2006, and a hop, skip and a jump later, she had identical twin-boys.

By February 2008, Ivy was a full-time stay-at-home mum. She started designing invitations for family and friends to keep in touch with her creative side. One job led to another, and soon she started a blog to showcase her designs. Within 3 months she had outgrown the blog, and decided to get a business-name and set up a website.

The result is an online portfolio full of playful, fun, unique and gorgeous invitation-designs. It is a work in constant progress (much like her twins and now with the addition of a new baby-girl!), and Ivy loves the opportunity to create beautiful and funky designs for her clients.
