One of the great privileges of running a creative agency is the opportunity to step outside the day-to-day demands of client work and immerse myself in other creative communities. Earlier this month, while in Bali, I spent several days exploring the Ubud Open Studios event an experience that felt equal parts design pilgrimage, treasure hunt and choose-your-own-adventure.
I recently visited the The Art of Banksy Exhibition in Sydney, and I walked out thinking less about street art and more about communication. That might sound strange at first. Banksy is often discussed through the lens of rebellion, anonymity, anti-establishment politics, or spectacle. But standing in front of those works especially as someone who runs a creative graphic design agency what struck me most was how incredibly effective the work is from a design perspective. Not just aesthetically effective. Communicatively effective.
I attended the Print and Design Expo in Ho Chi Minh City in May 2026 as part of VMARK Vietnam Design Week and the DESIGNITY 2026 program, running 19–20 May at THISKYHALL SALA Convention Center. Triscia attended the Bangkok Print Expo in April, giving us a useful parallel reference point across both markets.
Los Angeles Design Weekend felt less like a traditional design fair and more like a living, breathing map of creativity.
As the owner of a graphic design studio based in Sydney, I’m always looking for opportunities to step outside the day-to-day and connect with fresh ideas. This year, attending the LA Design Festival gave me exactly that.
In July, I had the pleasure of visiting Milan for a partly business trip and partly family holiday. This trip coincided with the remarkable Fairey Sheppard exhibition at Vapore.
“Sculpture by the Sea” is an annual outdoor sculpture exhibition held along the iconic Bondi to Tamarama coastal walk in Sydney, Australia.
The Archibald Prize for portrait painting is Australia’s favourite and most significant art award and started in 1921. It highlights local heroes and famous faces that all reflect something that is happening in society at the relevant time.
One of our designers Andrea, recently discovered the joys of Hazelhurst Arts Centre in Gymea, south of Sydney. Tucked away in this quiet little suburb of the Sutherland Shire, this historic house-come-art gallery is a little-known gem. Andrea took a stroll around the lush gardens and snooped in the windows of the many glass-doored art studios and watched the kids get creative in their school holiday art workshops. After a coffee frappe (with impressive espresso ice cube) she had a wander through the current exhibition which was a very interesting exploration of feminism and surrealism.
Graphic design plays an important role in sign painting as you need to carefully plot out your sign. If you start at the left edge without a care in the world, you will likely run out of room or have typography that is not centred.
