I'm an Aussie-born, London-dwelling brand designer. I work at The Partners, which is the 'number one' brand agency in the WHOLE WORLD.
I love my home, I love my job and I love my husband.
This blog is a combination of stuff I make and stuff I like. The tags below can be used to filter the content:
• Work = my work
• Play = crafts or fun stuff I make
• Inspire = other peoples stuff
Evelin Kasikov is a London based designer and illustrator who began experimenting with handmade crafts whilst doing an MA at St Martins.
The representation of graphic printing processes and typographic experiments in stitching is really interesting, the handmade books look like a labour of love (or even a total obsession!)
Impressed! I saw this first on It's Nice That.
There's something intriguing about this little hand-painted box with a brooch inside by MummyIWantADinosaur on Etsy. Unfortunately it's currently sold out.
My friend Jamie Mitchell sent me the link to this video.
As I was watching, I was thinking 'ok this is pretty nice' but I wasn't massively blown away by the idea, as I had seen this type of water display before, but when you get to the end and realise that the promotion is for Solidarités International, whose main goal is to end deaths because of unsafe drinking water the piece has a bit more resonance.
I also think that the film has been put together incredibly well, which has the effect of making a pretty good idea look awesome.
The film appears to be by Cosa. Agency: BDDP & Fils.
This is the office of a small communication company in Copenhagen called Rhetorica, designed by What We Do.
I like the inexpensive but effective use of white wall decoration elements, these icons, and also the picture frames. The full-on whiteness of the space is a little much for me, but I like the detailing.
CubeDude (AKA Angus MacLane) creates movie characters using Lego. Its like 3D eboy characters, they are surprisingly personality-ful considering how few bricks he's used. Super geeky pastime, I love it.
I've shown R2D2 and C3PO, Batman & Robin, King Kong & Mr. Staypuft, Robocop & Mad Max, 'The Dude' from Big Lebowski & some other dude. Click through for complete set.

"On this Continue Time Clock, two out of the three pointers rotate around another pointer, instead of the central point of the clock face as with traditional clocks. The resulting kinetic artwork and fully functional clock continually changes its shape during a full rotation of 12 hours."
The movie is a bit too long, skip to the end to see the completed clock. From LikeCool.
I was researching some images for a pitch that we are working on at the moment, and needed to find some hand painted signs, like the ones you see all around the place in India. I found this nice collection on Flickr from Gavin Burnett.
WHYBIN/TBWA, Sydney, Australia created these rather nifty culinary flags to promote the Sydney International Food Festival. The relationship between the culture of the flag and the food featured should be pretty obvious, I'm glad to see that my native Australia seems to have only one national food that we are known for: the meat pie. Go Australia!

I came across the work of Kit Lane whilst browsing Flickr for other imagery. She describes herself as a non-traditional needle felter, sculptor, painter, 3D developer living in the cultural wasteland of West Central Minnesota, USA.
She's got a massive collection of these little dudes in her photostream, obviously she's a prolific maker.
Simple but full of personality, and great colours and textures... I've got to try some felting if I ever get a spare minute one of these days.
I saw this balcony on St Johns Street from the car on a rainy drive home after work last week. The owners spring pre-planning has transformed their small outdoor area into a magically optimistic space. Jealous, I want some spring colour popping up around our place.
