Inspiration for This Work

I worked with a small editorial team of UNSW students to produce the 2006 Unsweetened literary Journal. I was responsible for the creative direction of the publication, and intended to emphasis the diversity of entries and writers currently at UNSW.

Student Biography

Things don’t have to stay the same.

In a homogenised material culture, individual acts of design create hope.

Over the last four years, I have committed to the idea that design has the power to shape the way we think and live in the world.

It is people that are the motivation for this position. My design intends to engage with communities, through participation, to foster ideas of sustainability, the handmade and to promote social activism.

My work integrates graphics, textiles and photography to address social challenges. In particular my major project, LOOK LEFT work was designed to facilitate action and change towards a more progressive future. This was achieved through developing alternatives and for living and thinking in a post consumer culture.
