MY WORK SPACE

This is the space where I work. The table is a loan from a friend of mine (thankyou Amadis). It’s a nice big table where I can spread out in the lovely back room of our house, which opens out onto the garden, with high ceilings.

Here also is my working feet, and working companion, Gertie, a miniature schnauzer. Gertie is constantly disrupted from her sleep by her need to chase off stray honeyeaters in her garden! There are so many of them around this spring after all the rain!

30 DAYS OF GOOD! GREAT PROJECT TO GET INTO!

Have a look.. this looks really exciting, and fun to do.. documenting your life!

Welcome to The GOOD 30-Day Challenge (#30DaysofGOOD). Each month, we challenge ourselves to improve the world around us—and our own lives. The challenge for November? To document your life. In an effort to help us all rise to the occasion, each morning, we will post a daily mini-challenge on GOOD.is and Twitter, along with a testimonial from someone on the GOOD team who’s already completed it. We invite you to complete all 30 mini-challenges and share them with us on Twitter,Facebook, and Tumblr.

THIS IS MY VISUAL LANDSCAPE. THE PLACE WHERE I RECORD PONDERINGS, SITINGS, MEETINGS AND OTHER HAPPENINGS.

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.
