While the creation of the Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) has good intentions, one unintended consequence of this scheme was the perception of easy money by lifestyle farmers. Home was created as a way to visualise the complex rules, roles and obligations for would-be participants.

Red Panda Interp Refresh

As part of a greater Asia precinct refresh at Te Nukuao Wellington Zoo, I was tasked with redesigning the environmental graphics for the Red Panda habitat from concept to production. This design was inspired by the lives of Red Pandas who are arboreal and live high in the treetops.

Lion Interps

For the arrival of two new Lions from Copenhagen Zoo, we refreshed the interps in the visitor space at our Lion habitat. I was tasked with conceptualising new interps while adopting a pre-existing design system that was previously established to ensure there was a consistency in the experience.

Japan itinerary

After hearing about the plethora of stamps available in Japan, I was inspired to use my skills to create a personalised itinerary for a recent trip to Tokyo and Osaka. This itinerary was to be the home for the beautiful stamps and souvenirs I collected while overseas.

WIP The Opua – The History of a Ship for Many Years a Landmark on the Wairarapa Coast

In 1926 the Opua wrecked along the Tora Coast just outside of Wellington. "The Opua" was a record of the events that, for many years, was a landmark on the Wairarapa Coast. First published by Peter Deller over 60 years ago, it is now a restoration project for Katie Deller and I to republish once again.
