Porno Graphic
Porno Graphic discusses the increased sexualisation of children in modern television, film, and music media. Fictional sex solicitation badges inspired by both ‘70s/‘80s adult movie logos and pop-up erotica advertisements adorn the poster, intended to overwhelm and capture the viewer as the sea of sexualised media and pornography floods the visual landscape.
In the poster’s centre stands an anime school-girl figure, a now ubiquitous symbol of sex in hentai and pornography, a reputation perpetuated through teenager, student-teacher, and family categories of adult films. Trapped inside an all-consuming body of vibrant pornographic advertisements, she is absorbed by the cycle that will continue to exploit her.
On the poster’s footer, excerpts from peer-reviewed studies highlight side effects of pornography on developing adolescent brains, including poor self-esteem, anxiety, misogyny, and both dating and sexual violence.

Future of Finance Initiative
Proposed
branding and promotion for Griffith University’s Future of Finance Initiative,
a student-led organisation advancing youth financial knowledge
around social impact investment and positive divestment.
A grid-built FFI
wordmark is used to create a series of unique and organic patterns which visually
represent distinctive and individualised forms of social investment, breaking
free from the framework of traditional finance to produce something more purposeful.
Bijou
Meaning ‘jewel’ in French, Bijou imitates the sharp cuts of diamonds and other precious gems to produce a boisterous display face that concurrently conveys both power and fragility.
Built on a simple grid system, Bijou also draws a likeness to crude, papercut shapes, personifying youthful enthusiasm and unrestrained vigour, while remaining refined and considered in execution.
Australia Vietnam Skills Conference
Hypothetical
identity for a conference pitching the value of alternative
Vocational Education and Training programs for Vietnamese students and
enhancing Australian and Vietnamese governmental collaboration in an
ever-changing and increasingly multicultural education sector.
Custom typography draws from
Vietnamese wild postings with pronounced and decorative monochromatic type.
Secondary type presents key event details and mimics antique ticket stub
layouts.
Under the Rug
Poster design juxtaposing totems of
the Indigenous
Australian Dreamtime’s three
core worlds (sacred, physical and human) against their rough counterparts in my
non-Indigenous culture.
Visual dichotomy highlights the parasitic relationship
with material wealth prominent in Western culture that has ultimately driven the
exploitation of Indigenous peoples and land for short-term and superficial gain.
Live and Let Live
Garment design based on the medieval system of merchant law, ‘Live and Let Live’, which encourages accepting others’ behaviours and lives, in order to not squander your own.
Contrasting pieces of lettering are designed to evoke separate responses, whilst still populating the same canvas, indicative of the way we cohabitate as humans.
