If there was one word to describe Stephanie and Andrew, it would be effervescent; so it's only fitting that their wedding invitation suite be both bright and bubbly. 

Expertly two-colour letterpressed by The Distillery, Sydney.

Wedding Invitation Suite for my better-half and I. We were married in LA, and wanted our invitations to be as bright and fun as the city itself. The invitations are hand-lettered and were screen-printed as a split fountain into A3 sized posters.

The response card (which featured a mad libs component) and details card were both screen-printed split fountain and edged, as was the thank you card. Calligraphic lettering on the envelopes and a custom address stamp helped make the envelopes as exciting as their contents. The most fun element of these invitations has been receiving some of the 'colourfully' filled out response cards.

Sibella Court is an interior stylist, author, product designer, shop owner, and globetrotting bowerbird with an impossibly busy schedule and stunning portfolio of work. 

This newsprint foldout was created to celebrate the launch of Sibella's new decorative hardware range, and was almost entirely hand-illustrated and calligraphed and features a reverse-side legend. The concept was inspired by vintage hardware catalogues and childhood treasure maps.

Designed as a poster to celebrate the launch of the new ABC radio station Double J, and rolled out onto other marketing materials including Digital Assets, Beer Mats, Coasters and Postcards. 

The first two in a series of song companion booklets, each articulating the lyrics of the chosen song with typesetting based on a combination of the song’s tone, rhythm, and intent. By restricting the typeface, colour, format and tools used to articulate the lyrics, emphasis is placed on the typesetting.

The first booklets accompany Black Math by The White Stripes (Elephant 2003), and Emily by Joanna Newsom (Ys 2006).

Using text from a favourite novel, this brief required the precise typesetting, design, and hand-binding of an all-text book. The excerpt is sourced from My Mistress’s Sparrow Is Dead: Great Love Stories from Checkov to Munro, a series of short melancholic love stories edited by Jeffery Eugenides. 

The Southbank Undercurrents campaign questions Southbank’s manufactured identity by focussing on the environmental, cultural, social, and political issues that inhabit South Brisbane. The posters mimic the Southbank aesthetic to attract traffic. The Undercurrents App provides visitors with education and direction for further action about the aforementioned issues.

This project required the redesign of an existing image-based book to improve reader experience. The original fractured the strong storytelling nature of Annie Leibovitz's photography by keeping all related text to the final pages, forcing the reader to flip back and forth. Reformatting to include appropriate text alongside each image on a small sheet keeps the story and image together without distracting from the image.

Designed using previously-created collages to form the basis of the poster’s format and concept. 

A selection of some printed exhibition materials, catalogues, exhibition signage and publication design created as the in-house designer at the Institute of Modern Art, Brisbane.

A project to educate and enhance the visibility of Animals Australia whilst increasing donations to the charity. Adding a small built-in donation to the price of the stamp increases revenue to Animals Australia without requiring direct action from the consumer.

The illustrations serve as a reminder of cruelty and mistreatment of animals in circuses whilst still being appropriate for their extremely varied audiences.

Information graphics exploring the history of Rock ‘N’ Roll. The first, a streaming map of overarching genres and the artists with whom they are most readily associated. The second, a colourful circular wheel concisely visualizing a detailed timeline from early field hollers in the 1860s through to current post punk, alternative country, and progressive rock.

Designed with simplicity, layering, and block colour in mind.
