Her popular substack newsletter, The Life Edit, was in need of an upgrade in advance of the publication of her third book.

ELLISON STUDIOS

Leading Australian design studio Ellison Studios hired me to compose and hand-letter an original prose poem to celebrate the opening of their atmospheric new showroom in historic Surrey Hills. The piece ran across their digital real estate and was envisioned as an installation on a wall of the loft space.

Gently weaving imagination and soul into the fabric of the campaign and providing a prologue that marked the beginning of an exciting new chapter in our journey. A newfound friend and absolute delight to create with."
