MOUNTAIN MONK BREWERS
I currently freelance for Mountain Monk Brewers, a family-owned brewery in Mount Beauty, Victoria. I've designed the artwork for their beer cans, featuring their iconic 'monks,' and created new characters to add to the quirky Mountain Monk clan. Additionally, I help shape the brewery's brand identity, including designing other graphic assets such as signage and beer tap decals.

RED PANDA WALL STICKERS
In 2022 I had the exciting opportunity to work as a freelance designer for Red Panda Wall Stickers, a business specializing in wall decals.

One collection I worked on was the 'Arch Decal' series, where I designed a diverse collection of arched shapes suitable for a myriad of spaces including; nurseries, bedrooms and living rooms.
COFFEE FOR THE PEOPLE
In 2021, I had the opportunity to collaborate with a beloved local cafe called Coffee For The People Roasting Co. in Seaford. As part of the collaboration, I provided illustrations for their coffee bean bag packaging design, gift voucher design, t-shirt designs for their store merchandise, and label design for their cold brew products.
GOVERNMENT HOUSE VICTORIA DESIGN PROJECT
The Governor of Victoria invited students from diverse design programs across Victorian universities and TAFE's to attend Government House. Offering them an opportunity to view the House and gardens firsthand, we were required to create an image inspired by our experience, using any medium of our choice. Each student submitted an image, which was subsequently displayed during the exhibition at Government House itself. For my submission, I opted to utilize Procreate on my iPad to digitally illustrate the House and gardens, which served as the inspiration for my accompanying advertising and campaign concepts.
CAITO'S CLOSET
These are typographic posters I designed for a client that needed market signage for her Camberwell Market clothing stall. Caito's Closet required various price signs and clothing descriptors designed in a way that seamlessly blended nostalgia, vividness and vintage aesthetics.
MT BEAUTY NYE
From 2016 to 2019 I designed and illustrated the event posters for the regional town of Mt Beauty and their annual NYE festival events. Collaborating alongside Mt Beauty’s NYE event coordinator and Mt Beauty Cricket Club was required to produce graphic design and marketing content for a range
of products.
I&J THREADS
Melbourne-made fashion label, I&L Threads invited Box Hill Institute students to participate in a branding challenge. They required a branding identity for their newly established business - which focuses on slow, locally designed and produced fashion which embraces clothing inclusivity for all shapes and sizes. Logo design, packaging, signage, website and social media design were all apart of this exciting project.
AISOI
This brochure design brief I was tasked with during my design course at Box Hill Institute was intended for the Australian International Symphony Orchestra Institute. This publication project focused on the exploration of typographic and layout design specifically in the context of a program brochure.
GEN22 CALENDAR
2021 marked 20 years for Box Hill Institute's Global Education Network (GEN) partnership with Southern Alberta Institute of Technology (SAIT) in Canada, Kirkwood Community College in USA, and the Institute of Technical Education in Singapore. For one of our more recent projects we were to collaborate ideas with SAIT University in Canada to come up with our own calendar designs to be used for 2022's student calendars for each of the Global Education Network colleges. My month-spread designs were inspired by Bauhaus influenced collages and posters, featuring photography from international partnership study tours.
YAYOI KUSAMA PAPER DOLL
For my illustration course, I completed a design brief involving creating a paper doll caricature of a well-known figure. The task included crafting a three-dimensional prototype of the doll with accompanying props and accessories. To enhance the experience, I also designed packaging that doubled as promotional material or fanfare, showcasing the chosen figure. I opted to depict the iconic artist Yayoi Kusama, whose captivating artwork and unique aesthetic have been a great inspiration to me as an artist and designer.
GTM ZINE
In 2018, one of the projects for my illustration course required us to create, illustrate and even physically make our own set of zines and wrapping paper. I decided to focus on Aussie festival Groovin' the Moo and included illustrated social media posts from Instagram of people that used the hashtag #GTM. These illustrations were also tranformed into a repeat pattern for wrapping paper. As an avid music festival goer myself, my aim was to capture the collective shared joy and lasting lifetime memories that music festivals can provide.
