I had a blast visiting Taiwan over Christmas, and I have been missing the delicious food from their night markets every day. 🍲

Their animated traffic lights are just one of many cute touches that make their country great, and I'd love to visit again soon! .

With the uncertainty of COVID-19, and heavy (but necessary) Tasmanian border restrictions it has been over six months since I've been able to visit family and friends in Launceston.

This has been the longest time of not visiting since I moved to Melbourne over six years ago. While the feeling of homesickness has gradually eased over the years, the comfort of home being so close has vanished recently, and Bass Strait has never felt larger.

Instead of throwing a pity party, I decided to use that energy to do an animation of City Park. I have incredibly fond memories of gazing at the monkeys (yes, it has monkeys!), riding the train for a gold coin, falling off the canon monument, skating on fallen acorns, and laughing at the fountain of a boy peeing in the plant filled conservatory. Here's hoping that I can make it back soon.

Today @zoosvictoria has reopened, along with their new exhibit 'Dinos at the Zoo' which is happening across Melbourne Zoo, Healesville Sanctuary and Werribee Open Range Zoo.

These booths live at Melbourne Zoo and each one compliments a slightly terrifying and gigantic animatronic dinosaur.

@wearesandpit were in charge of the inside mechanics of these booths, and I had the pleasure of creating the pinwheel animation in the centre screen. Isn't the overall booth design gorgeous?

Hello Zoo: Corroboree Frog Edition 🐸

Hello Zoo is a chatbot @wearesandpit created to answer questions visitors have about the Southern Corroboree Frog. It's been living at @zoosvictoria for a few months now.

This shape is an earlier iteration, but the curves are divine.

I was incredibly pleased to be working as the Experience Designer for the Map-O-Matic with @wearesandpit that has been part of the current Velvet, Iron, Ashes exhibit at @library_vic.

In a lot more recent news it won a @museweb #GLAMi award in the last few weeks! 🏆🏆🏆.

Design Thinking is a publication I used to document everything I learned during my internship at IBM. The project is yellow and square to be reminiscent of a post-it, and the finished version is meant to have a die-cut that houses your own pad of post-its. ✏️✏️

Today marks seven years since I photographed my first gig, The Scientists of Modern Music at The Brisbane Hotel in Hobart. Whilst photography is not the focus of my career anymore I am so incredibly grateful to photography, the bands, and mentors such as @burntscotty that helped turn what initially was an excuse to go to gigs underage into the beginning of an incredibly satisfying creative career.

So in the last few weeks I was given the best Christmas present. As of last week I am now working at @wearesandpit, a dream of mine for the last 12 months. I'm no longer working at Monash and I'm looking forward to doing real rad stuff with technology in the museum space. 🎉🎉

For those who haven't been following along with my stories I'm in Japan and I finally went to Okunoshima this morning and had the best time feeding rabbits and cycling around in the rain! 🚲

Doing this project reinforced my stance about pockets so much. Females (and men) need more pockets and better ones! I still love this project, and whilst this is a condensed version for my upcoming new site, you can find the full videos somewhere on my feed. 🕺 #demandfunctionalclothing #demandpockets

The countdown is on with a little over a month until I go away. I'm looking forward to spending all my money on cosmetics in Myeondong, and eating all the ramen and sushi. 💸💸
