Caring through Crisis: Covid-19 Handbook is a book version of a series of seven factsheets that Carers NSW commissioned me to design, to assist carers through the Covid-19 pandemic with advice and guidance. The factsheets (and handbook) provides specific information for young carers, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander carers, and people who are caring for…
I’ve lost count of reports I’ve designed and laid out over the last decade, but the Organ Donation for Transplantation Plan is notable for a few reasons. One, I had complete free-range over the design, and I love how it turned out – the colours, the clean white space and the fantastic image library that…
The Community Visitors Scheme is of those great volunteer programs that cost hardly anything yet the payout for all those involved is significant and lasting. The scheme arranges visits between bilingual volunteers and elderly people from various multicultural backgrounds who are often isolated and lonely in nursing homes and aged care facilities. In 2014 I…
For the last couple of years I’ve done the Sydney Local Health District’s (SLHD) Year in Review documents. They have a very clear idea of how they want them to look – in particular they like the magazine style layout rather than a corporate document style.

The chances of all three coming together are rare and unusual experience. The NSW Health Uniform Catalogue wasn’t one…
As part of my work for HealthShare NSW, I also often provide graphic services for other external government health agencies, which I charge for on behalf of HealthShare NSW. The money helps to offset my salary as well as providing other health agencies with professional design services at a cost-effective rate. The Agency for Clinical Innovation…
I’ve done a few large documents and other pieces for the Clinical Excellence Commission over the past few years, the major one was the Safer System Better Care: Quality Systems Assessment reports. In 2011 they approached me to provide them with a fresh new look for this annual report. I used their logo as the basis of the…
In 2010 I designed the NSW Health Youth Health Policy 2010-2015, “Healthy bodies, healthy minds, vibrant futures’. The client wanted the document to be in two colours that were high contrasting so that when the PDF was downloaded by health workers throughout NSW it would still be readable when printed on a black and white…
