I am an ethnographer, illustrator, publisher, graphic designer and educator. I am interested in telling stories with pictures.

 I have just written, illustrated and published “What the Hell is Your Problem?” A Kit for Uptight White People.

If you click on the kit in the links section, you can check it out!

I lectured for six years at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology. I also have a graduate Diploma in Education, and a Masters in Cross Disciplinary Design.
I have taught Communication Design at private colleges, and set up the inaugural Communication Design Program for the Box Hill Institute in Kuwait. Most of my past professional design work has involved  designing  identities for grass roots  organisations, such as community health centres, and the Brotherhood of St Laurence. 

I am interested in the developing role of Design as an agent for positive social change, around which I centred my final masters project, by designing a “kit for uptight white people”, to raise civil engagement.</description><title>http://veronicagrow.tumblr.com/</title><generator>Tumblr (3.0; @veronicagrow)</generator><link>http://veronicagrow.tumblr.com/</link><item><title>thedesignkids:

&lt;p&gt;Yeah Adelaide, such a rad initiative!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;‘Say Something 2!’ has been working with community here in the western suburbs around the issue of graffiti and crime prevention since November last year. We have been given permission by Department of Planning Transport and Infrastructure to paint the Ethelton Train station shelters and we would like your input. We will be delivering 2 community workshops introducing the skills of aerosol art and seeking your input into the designs which we will install on the shelters here at Ethelton. Workshops are FREE…spaces are limited and open to anyone over the age of 16.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Aerosol Art &amp; Design workshops:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;strong&gt;When: &lt;/strong&gt;Saturday 22nd June 10am – 12pm and Sunday 23rd June 2pm – 4pm&lt;br/&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Where: &lt;/strong&gt;Gallery Yampu (the Old Port Adelaide Sailing Club) Jenkins St, Birkenhead&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Deconstruction of Sidney Nolan’s iconic 1946 painting, Ned Kelly.&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://society6.com/designbybird" target="_blank"&gt;New artwork available for purchase on society6&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The structure of the poster’s proportion in dialogue with the painting’s colour and composition gives rise to the subtle symmetry of the new image. The key emblem of Kelly’s letterbox mask is retained, while new shapes emerge that quietly hint at other Australian symbols like the star of the Southern Cross.&lt;/p&gt;
