Hi, Melbourne! I’m Heath. I’m a writer, editor, research translator, strategist operating at the intersection of design philosophy + academic research + cultural production, and — perhaps most germanely — soon-to-be Melbourne resider. Within these pages lie key details of my professional history. Please look around. If anything piques your interest, contact me and let’s talk. I’ll make land by April’s end. See you soon!
A Quick Snapshot
For the past decade, I’ve worked with some of the most wonderful people and organisations I could’ve imagined. The through-line with all of these relationships is community and communication. It all started in 2012 with my clunky website, the genesis of which, it turns out, was driven by motivation I shared with Frankie Ratford of The Design Kids (TDK) — that being, to help ease the passage of design grads into industry. Volunteering with TDK to launch their Adelaide branch led to working with AGDA, which led to everything else.
*Memorable brushes with fame include but are not limited to: my band once supported the support act of my heroes, Ride! and I once coached (tennis) Simon Ratcliffe from Basement Jaxx!
With introductions out of the way, the goals of this site are to find as many like-minded Melbourne design folk as possible and ultimately land a full-time position within a team that shares my motivations. Take a look around. If anything resonates with you and you’d like to chat, please do contact me, and we can meet for *insert arbitrary sustenance here.
