Sense Of Self Bathouse
Branding & Identity
Sense Of Self is a new bathouse based in Melbourne. I was brought on quite early in the peice to design their logo and assist with some creative input in a general sense. We came up with this logo together which represents a pool-like icon with the wavey water up top, and steps down into the bath like shape.
To the right you will see the latest development, which is the massage and spa treatment gift vouchers, letterpressed by Hungry Workshop - right here in Melbourne.

After The Storm, When The Flowers Bloom.
Branding
This was yet another TDF Collect show hosted by The Design files in 2018. This was the first ever solo show for Melbourne artist Lauren Cassar. Lauren is an art therapist and textile designer, known for her much-loved local label, Mirador! The branding for this show grabbed from the natural shapes and colours found in Lauren’s artwork. For the title of the show, I had Lauren write out the words in her own handwriting, as it only felt fitting that we see every part of herself expressed in her first show.
Branding
Melbourne-based artist Sean Meilak celebrates his love of the built environment and his inner-city garden, through a series of stacked sculptures for TDF Collect. This branding reflects the shapes of Seans sculptures in 2D form. The colours are also representitive of those he has used throughout the works.
