I’m Georgina, a designer, researcher, and educator based in Naarm (Melbourne), Australia, with a background in graphic design, media, and communications. With over a decade of experience in design, I specialise in visual storytelling, branding, creative strategy and participatory design. Currently, I’m pursuing a PhD in Design, focusing on how design can work towards more pluriversal futures and offer new perspectives on place and community. I hold an MFA from the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) and have taught at RISD, the Glasgow School of Art, and RMIT University.
