New Work: Queensland Museum Kurilpa Design System

Queensland Museum approached us to establish an intuitive, scalable design system that simplifies production across internal teams while creating space for meaningful creative expression. What emerged, however, went far beyond a standard set of brand guidelines. The refreshed identity reflects the scale and importance of this cultural institution, alongside the warmth, passion, and unique Queensland-ness of the researchers, curators, and creators behind it.

Built on a modular grid, the system mirrors the museums own process of discovery: gathering small fragments and piecing them together to tell a larger story. Whether inspired by a researcher arranging specimens in a tray or a child building at SparkLab, layouts are constructed from content blocks that champion curiosity and play.

Additionally, we simplified the brand architecture, shifting away from fragmented sub-brands to unite the institution under a single, strong Queensland Museum masterbrand. The result is a streamlined, efficient system that elevates Queensland Museum as a premier cultural institution.

Upcoming Talk: AGDA Design Impact, with Bigfish & The Tivoli Group

For nearly 10 years, Bigfish and The Tivoli Group have worked together on the brands behind The Tivoli, The Princess Theatre and Open Season. It’s a creative partnership that’s lasted longer than most, built on trust, strong opinions and a shared commitment to making great work.

As part of AGDA’s Design Impact series, Bigfish’s David Byrne and The Tivoli Group’s Dave Sleswick will get into what that relationship actually looks like: how they brief, where the creative freedom comes from, what happens when the client has strong creative input, and how they keep pushing the work after almost a decade together.

New work: 🥧 Goldie’s Bake Shop 🥧

Founded in 1944 by European immigrants with a deep love for traditional baking, Goldstein’s Bakery was built on a simple premise that good food brings people together. Over 80 years, it evolved into a beloved Gold Coast icon. However, successive redesigns had drifted away from the warmth and heritage that made the brand special in the first place.

We sought to rediscover and celebrate their original family roots, ultimately renaming and rebranding the business as Goldie’s Bake House. Drawing direct inspiration from original 1950s Goldstein Bakery posters, Gold Coast sign writing, 80s beach imagery, and decades of family photo albums, we crafted an identity rooted in humble nostalgia, creating a warm, timeless, yet contemporary visual identity for a classic local pie shop.

New work: SBS Australia

We’re continuing our work with SBS, building on a design system crafted for instant recognition and consistency across their 450+ podcasts in over 60 languages.

Using this framework as a base, we designed the artwork for SBS Examines: a podcast series tackling the misinformation and disinformation threatening Australia’s social cohesion. Through a collage-style ex*****on, the graphic captures the fragmentation caused by misinformation, the struggle to define truth, and the widening gaps that prevent social cohesion.

Always a pleasure working with SBS and putting our own design system to the test.

New work for Soak Bathhouse & Urban Oasis. Colourful, inclusive, social and full of life.

Soak Bathhouse wanted to embrace its social approach to wellness, separating itself from an industry focused on individual and isolated experiences. The brand fully embraces this energy and shared enjoyment with bright and playful group imagery, Australian flora-inspired colours and graphic elements that float and glide across the page resulting is a brand unlike anything else in the wellness industry.

The 2026 program is live!

Built on our Tank CMS, the website platform, developed in 2025, set a new benchmark for performing arts festivals. Moving beyond a basic “what’s on” list, the platform surfaces the festival through multiple lenses. Users can discover shows via curated editorial articles, themed event groups, or geographical proximity, creating a non-linear digital experience that is highly intuitive yet endlessly explorable.
