Brand identity for Cairncross Capital Operating in private capital markets, Cairncross Capital brings a discerning eye to identifying investment opportunities that others overlook. A timeless, nature-inspired brand identity was developed for a bold market entry. A sculptural serif wordmark is paired with a graphic layer that interprets the deep furrows, textured bark, flowing curves, and intertwining forms of the Moreton Bay fig tree (Australian banyan) — bringing detail, texture and a sense of craft. Photography of the Moreton Bay fig, by Traianos Pakioufakis, further frames the brand narrative. The resulting identity lays the foundations for a business that is confidently stepping into the market, creating a bold legacy and enduring value as they continue to evolve and grow.

Website design for Chris More Dot Co @l0ngb0nes Chris More is an animation director and motion designer who brings stories to life through the moving image with creativity and curiosity. A digital identity and website were designed to position Chris More Dot Co as a confident and considered creative practice. An existing kinetic wordmark provided the inspiration for the broader visual language, including supporting typography, colour palette and graphic system. The result is precise, purposeful and quietly distinctive — a utilitarian, code-inspired system where form follows function, and the craft lives in the details. Vertical navigation referencing tabbed folders brings a layer of physical craft into the digital realm, while a dynamic layout with generous white space provides a flexible, neutral environment for the work to breathe. Animation is woven into key moments throughout, as a demonstration of Chris’s craft. A screensaver provides a joy-filled easter egg that speaks to Chris’s love of badges.

Tour de Sign and Northside Design Ride are presented by @mosey.guide Founded by Naarm (Melbourne) creatives Tim Dow and Stephanie Mulder, mosey was born out of a belief that slow travel is an opportunity to be curious — to immerse yourself in a place, uncover its daily rhythms, and truly get to know the neighbourhoods and communities that make it unique. Tim Dow is a strategic consultant whose work helps people navigate the world more intuitively — collaborating with design studios across Australia and internationally on user experience, behaviour, and wayfinding projects. @timrobdondow Stephanie Mulder is a graphic designer whose work supports forward-thinking organisations, businesses and creative individuals who are working towards meaningful change for people and the planet. @yardbird_studio For more details, and to purchase tickets, visit the link in our bio.

Introducing Northside Design Ride — a leisurely cycling tour of Melbourne’s most creative neighbourhoods and the designers, artists, and makers whose passion and presence make these neighbourhoods truly special. The ride is an invitation to embrace the art of taking it slow, on two wheels, and to see the city through a different lens. Along the way, you’ll visit some of Melbourne’s creative luminaries at design-led hospitality venues, independent retailers, artist studios and cultural spaces. Proof that design isn’t in galleries alone, but woven into the fabric of everyday neighbourhood life. Joining us for the ride is photographer Oli Sansom, who will open the ride with a brief workshop on the art of film, the beauty of light, and the joy of capturing the imperfect and unpredictable. Participants will be provided with a disposable film camera and encouraged to embrace their curiosity, documenting their experience throughout the ride. Cameras can be submitted at the end of the ride, with development included in the ticket price. Saturday 23 May, 9am–12pm 8km ride through Collingwood, Abbotsford, Clifton Hill and Fitzroy Leisurely pace, accessible for all All wheels welcome.

Website design for @mosey.guide mosey is a passion project, founded in 2024 and developed in collaboration with @timrobdondow “It’s not the notes you play, it’s the notes you don’t play” — Miles Davis Travel is no different. It’s the bits in between that matter. The unplanned moments, the wrong turns, the unexpected conversations, the streets you wander down without reason — that’s where a place reveals itself. We developed mosey to encourage people to slow down, and be curious. Our slow travel guides focus on neighbourhoods worth wandering, one leisurely step at a time. They offer an invitation to uncover the sights worth knowing, the daily rhythms worth following, and the communities and places that make a city unique. The new website brings this spirit to life with an unhurried design that lets each neighbourhood speak for itself. Embedded film, interactive maps and a pared-back visual language make it easy to browse, plan, and explore — whether at home dreaming, or in a city wandering. Website Development: @laurtondigital

Brand identity for Cairncross Capital Cairncross Capital backs the fund managers reshaping Australia’s future. At the heart of their philosophy is a belief that financial returns and positive social and environmental impact are inseparable — each governed with the same integrity and held to the same high standard. A brand identity was developed to establish a distinctive presence within the Australian private capital landscape. Photography of the Moreton Bay fig tree (Australian banyan) by Traianos Pakioufakis frames the brand narrative. The tree’s architectural structure and monumental scale serve as a metaphor for the business — projecting confidence, strength, permanence, and far-reaching connection. More coming soon.
