G’Day! I’m a visual communicator whose work is built upon the foundation of Grid and Type.

I have worked in a range of mediums so far and have taken a liking for publication, web design, coding, and branding.

I choose to use Typography as it connects strongly to my design thinking; I'm interested in the negotiation between utility and graphic aesthetic. 

At this point in my career I am looking to diversify my experience by taking some time to live in Vienna.

Typography
Grid and layout

Awarded membership to ISTD In response to ISTD's 2024 Brief "The Line", I investigated A.I. image generation tool Midjourney, to attempt to draw the future lines of typography.

Curiously researching the emerging field of A.I., I questioned it’s use within my typographic practice. The results were interesting and during the process I played a scientist discovering specimen typographically.

Harnessing this theme I founded my publication on the basis of categorising the newfound specimen, opening the opportunity for an index. 

Typographically, I chose to use a suite of typefaces which were used both for their utility and readability, connecting strongly with the aesthetic of generative practices. 

With my typographic research I concluded that perceiving the future of the discipline through A.I., is interesting, but hardly conducive to predict typographic designers may be replaced, ruled, or lost with the emergence of A.I.
