A way with words, with a camera, and with design. @justknowingyou (Jess) might not say she is here to impress people — but we are, well, impressed.
"Lovely to meet you. My name is Jessica and I am an artist with a mission to not merely survive but to thrive in my passion as a creative, and to do so with sincerity, compassion, and style.
I live to express, not impress. I aspire to be true to myself, to create genuinely and have my art speak wholeheartedly and emotionally. I hope when you look at my art, you feel."
Plagued by imposter syndrome, @nahborg (Nathan) engages in motion and experimentation to escape the thought of being a fraud — Is he one?
"My practice is driven by emotion, experimentation, and music, pushing myself to remain original, almost challenging ‘design norms’. When possible, implementing motion and movement into areas such as branding, campaigning and art direction across advertising – frequently searching for ways to pit humor/wit, against distressed and unstable themes... Alongside battling the thought of being a fraud."
When it comes to 3D, @sylvgira (Sylvain) is the man. But it doesn't just end there – AR, coding, you name it. He can do it.
"I am a Melbourne-based designer and 3D artist, my practice spans across most fields, though with a focus on integrating technology with my design through more unconventional methods and mediums, be it animation, type design, coding, AR/VR, or 3D. I'm constantly trying to expand my skillset to be able to create new and unique ideas.”
@gronkdesign (Tilda) Chooses to design for good, not evil – Employing her particular charm, energy, and expertise to do so.
"My creative practice is a fusion of design theory such as Futures Thinking, Collaborative Practice and Human-Centred Design and the un-pindownable energy of arts and crafts; expressive, experimental and deliberately unpolished. I love combining the playful and thoughtful aspects of design and strive always to design for good. The project featured here is an investigation into 'Cuteness,' and how it can be used in a design-business context. This is Gronk!"
@_bychantel (Chantel) – innovative designer, explorer of realms, and super talented. The full package.
"Chantel is now a Melbourne based designer (originally from Darwin, Northern Territory), she aims to create, innovate and explore beyond the realms of design. She is thoroughly inspired by fashion, photography and pop culture, specialising in brand identity and business strategy."
@blakewalshe (Blake) is always pursuing ways to push his creative boundaries... so watch out (boundaries) – Blake’s coming
"I am a Graphic Designer and Photographer based in Melbourne. My creative practice includes brand identity, 3D design, typography, content creation and photography. I love to visually solve problems in creative ways and push my limits as a designer. 3D design has recently taken my interest, combining design and photography to create photorealistic renders, such as my outcome for DISTINCT clothing."
@isabellazoedesigns (Isabella) uncovers the fine line between playfulness and proficiency – designing for all ages, capturing a true sense of her individuality & imagination
"Isabella is a Melbourne based multidisciplinary designer with key interests in publication and illustration design. Her love for colour and passion for individuality are key elements which fuel her design thinking and outcomes.
The video that follows is from her capstone project Fifi and Angus; Fifi and Angus is a children orientated story and activity series which encompasses all aspects of education with a focus on culture, language and travel."
Many talents fall under @jiayu.design (Jiayu) name, this video following is only one of them – Go stop off on his page and you'll agree
"I am a Graphic Designer/Visual Artist based in Naarm (Melbourne), Australia. Born in China, grew up in Australia. My practice spans digital and print mediums, with primary areas of design interest and practice including digital video, branding, publication, packaging, image-making, projection mapping, and artwork creation."
@madisondaffydesign (Madison) claims she can do it all, and we virtually have to agree with her – With a high standard to match
"I am a multidisciplinary communication designer that has a passion for business and all things aesthetic. My specialty is creating meaningful branding identities that represent a business and the people that make it. My niche is that I do it all, from design to photography to content creation. I create an energy whilst being passionate and driven."
Beware: If you want to get stuck staring at a piece of work for an unknown amount of time – Stay away from @ottumi_ (Umi) captivating art & designs
"Through my practice I have gravitated towards publication, image making and craft-based production. I like to experiment with both digital and manual mediums to create new perspectives and explore the bridge between art and design."
