  • The Seed Story

    I love TV. Having spent most of my uni nights working late, it is a luxury I haven’t been able to indulge in for some years. In some ways, I have resorted back to the impressionable viewer who absentmindedly hums jingles while cooking dinner. When my flat mate asked me for the 10th time to…

  • Queensland Fertility Group – The Caregiver

    RED-i Design recently designed a new creative campaign for Queensland Fertility Group.

It just shows how…

  • B_E_E Clever

    I spied this clever marketing on a series of postcards in an eco store in Bellingen, NSW. B_E_E – ‘Beauty Engineered for Ever’ is a range of cleaning products from New Zealand and these postcards perfectly embodies their drive to be “designed for pleasure, function and the environment”. I just love the way they have…

  • Genius Westfield Facebook Campaign

    I’ve just participated in a very sneaky but very clever marketing campaign for Westfield. Knowing full well that I was giving Westfield the rights to advertise on my Facebook page and post notifications without my permission…basically giving them free reign of my page I still signed up and let the sneaky bandits update my status…
