01 Unfolding Exhibition
I knew immediately I would use paper to create the design. I folded and cut paper into a custom typeface used throughout the exhibition.
I was interested in the way that paper can be endlessly transformed, manipulated then recycled. Paper is a medium that holds memory and process.
I worked on this project as a designer for Cause/Affect Studio.

02 Design Outlook 2024
For me, high fidelity design is when process shapes outcome. Collaboration and a human touch lead to the strongest results.
I created unpredictable lettering with a scanner, and paired this with Keisha’s artwork, which reflects the pathways and songlines of Country, people, and truth beyond ego.
Together, the work imagines a purpose-driven, First Nations–led design industry through a non-linear, experimental approach to typography.

03 Safffo Queer Fest(a)
Punk aesthetic using imagery from previous festivals.
I created a custom collage typeface that the team were able to use to make their IG posts in Canva.
04 Subjects in Process
I hand-wove magazine pages, then scanned.
05 Let Our Songs Speak For Us
Based at the University of Adelaide, CASM is the only dedicated university centre for Australian Indigenous music, and a vital site of musical training, community empowerment, and cultural impact.
I designed a custom typeface for the exhibition’s visual identity, drawing on the staunch activist spirit that founded CASM. The hand-cut lettering references the posters, banners, and protest materials created by Indigenous activists in the 1970s, the era of CASM’s inception.

06 MAVA Substation
Ahead of the launch, I designed the visual identity for the community outreach campaign, applied across MAVA’s social media and marketing.
The rough, grungy aesthetic references the DIY nature of the space, connecting to Metro Arts’ roots and inviting the community to get their hands dirty.

07 Human Rights Arts & Film Festival
I designed the visual identity for the 2022 edition of HRAFF, in collaboration with designer & illustrator, Nadia Prihani Hooton.
Together, we developed a collaborative method to unite our practices as illustrator & collage artist.
Nadia illustrated the four themes of the festival: Ancestors, Bodies, Distance and Environment. Then, I combined these themes with collage, allowing us to make endless combinations across the festival’s collateral.
The result was a unique and highly flexible visual identity for the festival.
