This project for the Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria focuses on creating a visually engaging and emotionally resonant space that enhances the visitor experience. Through drawings and model-making, three interconnected spaces were developed to explore the impact of light and spatial design on mood and perception.
The design encourages relaxation, connection with the landscape, and social interaction, offering comfortable seating and a distinctive play of light and shadow. The structure balances open and enclosed areas, fostering both individual reflection and shared experiences within the gardens.

Following the devastating bushfires of 2019–2020, which severely affected communities in Eastern Australia and disrupted essential services, this project reimagines Australia Post's role in regional recovery. Focusing on the East Gippsland Fire District, the concept introduces a mobile post office that functions as both a delivery hub and a recovery service.
The modular design allows for flexible deployment across various terrains, using lightweight, recycled materials such as plastic and plywood. Partnering with Seed Paper Australia and Greening Australia, the mobile unit also supports ecological restoration. The service allows bushfire-affected individuals to use seed paper to write down their thoughts and concerns and then plant the paper with guidance from Greening Australia, offering a hands-on restoration experience.
With adaptable configurations, built-in security, and a central location, the project aims to foster community connection, support hands-on recovery initiatives, and strengthen Australia Post’s presence during times of crisis.

This project reimagines a contemporary identity for Australia Post, aiming to strengthen lasting relationships with customers and communities across its retail and delivery networks. This vision is realised through a concept design and rebranding of a flagship store in Collingwood, Melbourne, with a focus on enhancing customer and civic engagement through the physical environment.
The proposed store integrates retail and postal services, offering face-to-face support and a 24-hour self-service zone. It reflects Australia Post’s core values—reliability, comfort, trust, and support—while serving as a community hub for workshops and events centred on communication, with a focus on Indigenous Australian history.
The rebranding also reinterprets the Australia Post logo, drawing on the evolution of communication. The new 'P' mark incorporates microscope imagery of stamps, envelopes, and packaging, creating layered textures embedded within an ink stamp-inspired base.

The Australian Open, held annually at Melbourne Park in late January, is the first of the four Grand Slam tournaments, attracting around 30,000 spectators daily. Evolving into a festival-like event, it now features fine dining, live music, and entertainment experiences that draw both local and international fans. This project involves developing a sub-brand, a signature pavilion, and a 14-day festival concept.
The proposed sub-brand, AO Mindset, introduces a wellness precinct offering classes, workshops, and guest speakers across the tournament. Combining traditional and holistic mindfulness practices, the concept encourages visitors to unwind, move, and reflect. Inspired by athlete routines, self-care, and the Japanese heritage of Total House, the strategy promotes balanced living and provides a therapeutic space for mind–body connection. It aligns with the AO’s commitment to innovation and future-focused experiences.
The Nike DNA archive is a vast collection of physical and digital content—from sketches and design drawings to marketing materials and products. However, its scale makes storytelling a challenge. To better engage and inform audiences, Nike DNA is reimagining its role as the core of brand storytelling. Central to this is The Concept of Air, a defining part of Nike’s heritage that revolutionised innovation, design, and experience. The task is to represent Nike DNA through The Concept of Air—honouring the past, recognising the present, and envisioning the future.
The proposed concept, Window into Air Max, brings the Air Max legacy to life through a series of pop-up spaces styled as temporary concept stores. Each of the five spaces spotlights a specific Air Max model, showcasing archival content—stories, artefacts, and design history—alongside limited-edition merchandise and raffle entries. These store-gallery hybrids reimagine retail by reusing and repurposing urban spaces.
Chosen for their atmosphere, geography, or architectural features, the five spaces are available for lease or rent. These temporary spaces allow Nike to enter markets without an existing retail presence, localising the experience for each city. The event’s transient nature aligns with Nike's athletic focus on movement and evolution, reflecting Air Max's adaptability across different environments and urban lifestyles. These spaces aim to amplify those stories.
Ten artefacts were sourced from local surroundings. Selected for their signs of wear, the artefacts vary in size (up to 25 cm), age, weight, and materials. These items were investigated, documented, and compiled into an orthographic projection series inspired by Italian designer Bruno Munari. A display was created to showcase the artefacts at the chosen site, designed to evoke stacked boxes and layers, symbolising objects that were once neglected but are now gradually emerging to be touched and illuminated.
