The Arch Academy is a brand extension project that I have created an identity for based off the existing business 'The Arch Stylist'. Stay tuned as this project will extend into product and packaging design. 

'Only in Vain' is my jewellery label which I have designed the entire branding and identity for.  I have designed and created everything from the logo, packaging, and marketing material (print and digital) to the website for the brand.  Visit ONLYINVAIN.COM and Instagram to see more of my creative digital skills

Digital Branding / Identity 

For Who —

Charity Beats Inc.

As the name suggests, The Paddock Bash is a unique music festival held in a grand old paddock in Victoria's country-side. With guests typically ranging from 18-25, the festival vibe is all about energy and fun. The Farmer's hat has become the event's trademark which has been used across merchandise, ticketing, posters you name it.

DIY A4 Paper Collection

Who —

Cristina Re Designs.

Heaven & Earth Collection features luxe finishes and stand out detailing such as laser cutting, embossing, gold foiling and marbling, drawing from both high fashion and geology for design cues.

I have created the pattern designs for the set of 5 papers which are designed to be mixed-and-matched.

Twice a year at Cristina Re, we launch a seasonal teaware collection. Over the last three years I have now designed more than six unique collections - some of which are captured here to the left. 

Each collection begins with research, maybe even an inspirational story or a small idea which is then developed into a detailed concept and applied to mugs, teacups and sometimes side plates. 

I have designed the all the surface graphics you see here and have recently created an alternative and contemporary shape teacup and mug design (which is captured in the first 'Paradise Palms' photos) But for the most part I stick to designing all the art and pattern work for existing teacup shapes.

Charity Beats event: The Christmas Spit

The Christmas Spit is a fun social event for a young crowd who likes to listen to Melbourne's local DJ talent (whilst raising money for The Smith Family Annual Toy Drive) Through colour and illustrated graphic, the branding aims to portray the fun and loud nature of the event. The cheeky mascot 'Garry Good-times' embodies that summer Christmas barbecue feeling - he is definitely the face of The Annual Christmas Spit.

30th Birthday Invitations

—

The client wanted something that reflected the venue of her party, whilst appearing feminine and striking. The venue being a beautiful old beer garden in Thomastown, I worked with a monochrome etching and softened the feel with a creamy ivory stock and touch of pale pink. For a finishing touch, large feature envelope seals were printed to give a subtle hint for what was to come inside.
