Art-led spaces designed to be experienced.
A spatial design practice shaped by fine art, people-focused thinking, and real-world environments.
About
I’m a spatial design student with a background in fine art and a strong interest in people-centered environments. I’m curious about how space influences behavior, comfort, and connection.
Alongside my studies, I’ve worked across teaching, retail, and freelance creative practice, developing strong communication, organization, and time management skills. I’m continuing to build my design approach through studio projects and real-world experience.

Resonance
This project explored speculative, physical artefacts that envision accessible futures, developed in response to Jess Kapuscinski-Evans’s fictional play with MPAC. Working within an interdisciplinary team of spatial and industrial designers, we created a proposal for presentation during Melbourne Design Week.
My design proposed a communal pavilion centered on ritual and participation, formed by a growing structure of bells contributed by community members to mark significant moments. The bells engage with vibrational frequencies and can be experienced through sound or touch, ensuring inclusivity across differing sensory abilities. The pavilion functions as a living monument, supporting meditation, storytelling, learning, and performance, and evolving over time through shared memory and collective participation..
Wind Flow
This project reimagines the MPavilion through the idea of airflow, using wind as the main driver for form and movement. The pavilion is designed as an open, inside–outside structure that allows people to move freely through it, responding to early critique around the design feeling too heavy or enclosed.
The form was developed through hands-on trials and testing, particularly through repetition and scale studies. A series of suspended, cup-like elements are arranged to suggest shifting wind patterns, creating a sense of motion as people move through the space. Working across multiple platforms helped resolve scale and technical accuracy while still allowing the form to remain loose and organic.

Burdekin Rum Label
This project was developed in response to a set design brief for the Burdekin Rum label. My initial work focused on producing a series of drawings that responded directly to the brief requirements, exploring composition, detail, and how illustration could sit within a packaging context.
Alongside this, I developed additional hand-drawn illustrations based on Queensland flora that I felt personally connected to. These drawings were not part of the original brief but were explored as a way to bring a stronger sense of place and character to the label. One of these illustrations, inspired by the Bird of Paradise, was selected and used on the front of the final label.
The project reflects a balance between working to a defined brief and contributing original visual ideas that strengthen narrative, identity, and connection to place.
Lort Smith Animal Hospital
I worked across a series of spatial interventions at Lort Smith Animal Hospital, responding to both operational needs and the wellbeing of staff, visitors, and stakeholders.
One project involved designing custom spit screens at the front reception to address a rising level of aggression toward staff. The screens were developed to provide protection while remaining visually unobtrusive, maintaining a welcoming environment rather than creating a sense of separation or hostility.
I also led the reworking of The Hub, using the existing architectural conditions as a starting point rather than a full redesign. A key intervention was the introduction of flora wrapping around over 12 meters of exposed beam, combined with soft fairy lighting to create warmth and calm within the space. This transformation allowed the area to be repurposed for stakeholder lunches and events, with the potential for future use as an adoption-focused space.
These projects focused on working sensitively within an existing environment, balancing safety, atmosphere, and adaptability.
