The Addison Road Community Organisation is a community-based initiative focused on creativity, inclusion, and social justice, supporting local voices and grassroots action. Within this space, the Addi Rd Youth Collective provides a platform for young people to connect, collaborate, and engage with issues through art and activism. ARTivate is a youth-led festival initiated by Addi Rd Youth Collective—bringing together art, political discussion, and community to explore themes such as anti-racism, Indigenous justice, and climate action through workshops, performances, and lived-experience storytelling.

[The Brief]
Design a series of stickers that capture themes of social justice, community, collective action, creativity, and youth empowerment. The artwork should be visually impactful yet easily interpretable at a small scale (10cm x 10cm).
[My Role]
I was commissioned by the Addi Rd Youth Collective to create a series of designs for vinyl stickers that reflected the spirit of the ARTivate youth festival. My role involved interpreting the given brief and transforming it into artworks that speak to the collective’s core values—creativity, inclusion, and social justice. These designs aimed to visually express the energy of youth-led activism and the power of art to build connection, inspire dialogue, and drive change.
[Design System]
I drew inspiration from organic forms found in art and nature, embracing irregular Bauhaus shapes, fluid lines, and layered textures. Creating a playful yet grounded visual language that reflected creativity, community, and the natural environment.
