My Role

Head of ArtNews Corp Australia

Led creative direction and design for the content piece within the News Corp commercial content team, working alongside writers, producers and animators to bring the concept to screen.

Collaboration & attribution

A collaborative production involving writers, producers, animators, client stakeholders and the wider commercial content team. My role was creative direction and design leadership.

The challenge

Making a health message feel fun for children and reassuring for parents at the same time, inside a short content format.

Design approach

Art direction leaned into simple, tactile character shapes and a soft, friendly palette so the message stayed warm and age-appropriate rather than clinical.

Creative highlights

  • Character-led art direction with a soft, tactile visual language
  • Message tuned for both children and parents
  • Design direction carried through to motion
