01 Unfolding: Exhibition Design
Catalogue design, gallery labels, paper-based kinetic sculpture for gallery entrance. Poster for opening night event (Marramb-ik).
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
To me, high fidelity design means the process should define the outcome: I believe that collaboration + a human touch leads us to the most compelling results.
I used a scanner to create unique, unpredictable lettering, and combined this with Keisha’s artwork that represents the pathways and songlines of Country, people and truth beyond the aesthetic of ego.
The concept unites the vision of a purpose-driven, First Nations-led design industry with typography inspired by a non-linear, experimental design process.

05 Let Our Songs Speak For Us
Located within the Univeristy of Adelaide, CASM is the only dedicated university centre for studies in Australian Indigenous music, and is an epicentre of musical training, community empowerment, and societal impact.
I designed a custom typeface for the exhibition's visual identity, inspired by the staunch activist spirit that brought CASM into being. The hand-cut lettering style pays homage to the posters, banners and signs created by Indigenous activists in the 1970s, the era of CASM’s inception.

06 MAVA Substation
In the lead-up to the launch, I designed the visual identity for the community outreach campaign, used across MAVA's social media and marketing.
The rough, grungey aesthetic references the DIY nature of the space, connecting with Metro Arts’ roots and the opportunity for community to come and 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 that united our practices as illustrator & collage artist.
Nadia created four illustrations in response to the festival’s themes: Ancestors, Bodies, Distance and Environment. Then, I used a collage approach to combine these illustrations, allowing us to make endless combinations across the festival’s collateral and representing the different themes.
The result was a unique, flexible and expansive visual identity for the festival.
