Maluchar, 2025
This poster was created for Maluchar, a two-day music and arts event in South Gippsland, held on unceded Bunurong Country. The design draws on a soft, painterly aesthetic, using natural textures, organic forms, and calming tones to reflect a deep connection to place. The imagery feels grounded and contemplative, encouraging viewers to pause and recognise the landscape and history that the festival is rooted in.
In working with the organisers, I helped establish a cohesive visual identity across both print and digital platforms. Together we developed posters and an Instagram presence that carry the same tone of respect and reflection, acknowledging Country while inviting audiences into a thoughtful and creative space. The intention was to ensure the festival’s visual language not only promoted the event, but also embodied its values: celebrating music and art while honouring the land on which it takes place.
A Machine for Living: The Modernist House
Harry Seidler, Richard Leplastrier[...]
I Australian architects have been leaders in establishing their own local language in response to the change to climate, and location (Cuffley, P 2007). Today we see the hardship of historical and contemporary architects whom social, and political work have established successful buildings like The Rose Seidler House, and the Harry and Penelope House. The importance of an Australian architectural identity is something contemporary architect Richard Leplastrier also is an advocate for. He will be discussed as using modernist principles while keeping in mind of the Australian Landscape, and how he adapted to the Australian environment as an architect so successfully.

This photography book explores the beauty of everyday moments with a refined, poetic sensibility. Through a balance of photographs and words, it captures fleeting details, smiles, colours, textures, that transform into lasting impressions.

Artistically, the book blends simplicity with depth. Each image and phrase is carefully considered, creating a rhythm that guides the viewer through themes of love, nature, and human connection.

Soul Arch by Declan, produced by Companion.
Companion’s fourth full length excursion comes from Naarm newcomer Declan. Following the release of his debut single Aqueduct on CMPN003, Declan returns to the label with a mesmerizing 5-track EP that gently unwinds through boundless, sun-drenched dreamscapes. Awash in the golden hues of 90s chill-out tent culture, Soul Arch embarks on a trance-inducing trip that fuses new age influences, balearic spirit and feverish, hypnotic repetitions.
The release gracefully shifts between moments of restraint and hidden depths, soaring to elevated and distant peaks. The effect is expansive, characterised by protean vocal samples, pulsing pitter-pat percussion and weightless pads as though gently breathing. Suited for late-nights beneath dust shrouded stars and the peaceful mornings after, Soul Arch is best listened from start to finish, with one eye cast towards the sunrise.

Music posters designs for an electronic collective with a strong connection to country. My tones and visuals are inspired by the Gippsland and Victorian landscapes where I grew up, translating sound into image with a sense of place. The group is based in Melbourne, so these Posters had the opportunity to become promotional posters around the city of Melbourne.
These projects explores a series of book layout flat lays I created, combining clean typography with carefully structured composition. Each spread is paired with persuasive writing that expresses my beliefs in and respect for Indigenous culture. These books are not just design objects but reflections of my values, using typography and layout as a way to honour and amplify cultural narratives.
