In healthcare, communication is essential for patient safety and satisfaction. As a former employee in a hospital, We recognised the importance of the "Hello, My Name Is" campaign and decided to take action to ensure it was successfully implemented.

The importance of Indigenous art and culture in Australia cannot be overstated.

In Cairns, a city in the northern part of Queensland, Australia, the local hospital became the epicentre of COVID-19 management in the region. As a designer working with the state government for the local Cairns hospital and surrounding facilities, I was responsible for branding elements of the pandemic, including news updates, fever testing clinics, vaccination clinics, and reactive restrictions and lockdowns.
