Our team collaborated with Josh Barnes from Olive Pink to create wayfinding for Relationship Australia Northern Territory (RANT) that not only guided people through the space, but also told a story. The goal was to design a visually engaging and meaningful environment that reflects the strength, depth and interconnectedness of human relationships.
Drawing inspiration from Indigenous storytelling and symbolic motifs, we developed an immersive space that fosters connection, understanding and support.
Relationships Australia
When we began, the building had no branding, giving us a fresh slate. We designed an exterior that welcomes visitors with vibrant Indigenous artwork, incorporating flowing lines that guide the eye toward the main entrance. This artwork was created in collaboration with a local artist and based on the designs from RANT’s existing work uniforms. By carrying this visual style across the building branding and wayfinding, we ensured a cohesive look.
The exterior features printed window graphics and a hand painted mural, adding colour and life to the building. This not only improves visibility but also creates a safe and welcoming first impression.
To invite and guide visitors to the RANT office on the second floor, we extended the visual graphics from the window entrance to the stairwell. The design from the outside was simplified and hand painted on to the steps and walls. This maintained a strong visual connection without repeating the exact same designs, assisting visitors naturally toward reception.
Once inside, visitors are greeted with more variations of the artwork, carried through key areas of the interior. By using complementary but not identical designs, the branding feels consistent without becoming repetitive. This approach creates a calm and connected flow throughout the space.
We extended the branding beyond the building with a fully wrapped ute. Designed, printed and wrapped in-house, the vehicle mirrors the RANT brand’s friendly yet professional tone. As it travels across the Northern Territory, it serves as both a functional company vehicle and a moving advertisement, increasing visibility in the community.
We also produced a standout CNC wood art installation as part of the project. This piece forms part of a larger collection, with individual elements coming together to create a striking representation of Australia. Each detail was precisely cut using CNC machining, blending traditional artistry with modern technology. The result is a tactile and visually rich piece where every engraved line and pattern carries cultural meaning and celebrates connection, place and story.
Following on from the wood artwork, wooden wall dividers were CNC engraved to reflect the calm branding style. The wood served as both practical and visual as the wood absorbs excess sound, stopping from voices bouncing off corporate walls whilst being visually appealing. By choosing wood rather than flimsy plastic walls we were able to carry the peaceful energy of the branding into the materials.
I’ve worked with The Exhibitionist over long-running projects – from conception to execution. They have been very patient with my clients and me, producing unique work to a high standard – from routed timber to hand-painted art. The Exhibitionist is an exceptional, bespoke graphic design company.

We partnered with Gulliver’s Tavern in Kununurra to develop a vintage motorbike-inspired brand. From the logo and banner design to custom merchandise like stubby coolers and stickers, we created a strong visual identity that reflected the tavern’s charm, appealed to both locals and travellers, and turned souvenirs into lasting brand connections.
The Darwin Waterfront makes for a unique and magical setting for a holiday display. That’s why we were proud to take on a project for a surf shack themed Christmas display. Our team of skilled graphic designers and builders got to work creating a custom design that captured the laid-back, beachy vibe of a surf shack, while also incorporating the festive spirit of the holiday season.
This Visitor Centre was designed to celebrate the richness and complexity of the Jawoyn culture using sculpture, illustration and signage. Working closely with the Jawoyn community, The Interpretive Design Company and John Van Der Kolk the entire exhibition is themed on the Jawoyn five seasons calendar.
We designed and installed a custom-built Easter Maze at Casuarina Square. The maze featured colourful Easter theming, decorations and interactive elements, creating a fun and engaging seasonal attraction for kids and families.
