We can’t wait to share what 2023 has in store.

July 2020 – The beloved Unanderra Hotel in Woollongong prides itself on its live music, cold beer and a great community spirit. But, built in the 1950s, it was time to give The Uni a little facelift.

Set on the Gold Coast, we took a rare opportunity to fly up to see it live.

L’Oréal Powder Room Logo Design

May 2016 – L’Oréal requested concepts for a marquee at the Melbourne Cup.

Grosvenor Place, Harry Seidler & Associates

October 2015 – This month sees the kick-off for our biggest project to date: the environmental graphics and wayfinding signage for the new Aussie Home Loans head office on George Street.
