As an intern i worked with the Designing Out Crime research center in collaboration with the outer Western Sydney Aboriginal Advisory Committee and Housing NSW to create a visual identity, website and video for the Committee. This was a part of the History project and was launched in NAIDOC week in June 2012.
I also worked on projects with leading Australian retailer - Myer to reduce opportunistic crime in store to minimize shrinkage. This project was focused on redesigning the fitting rooms in Myer. The proposed solution addressed increased security for Myer products without jeopardizing the customer experience. This is currently being reviewed by the company.
