Hello,
I’m Isaiah.
curiosity is never passive. It's having eyes open, pushing boundaries, flipping perspectives upside down, and diving deep beneath the surface – always hungry to explore what's next.
My Goal
I aim to thrive across multiple design disciplines. Having the skill and versatility to understand all the parts in motion and how to rethink the big picture. In my current role, my expertise lies in Illustration, focusing on packaging and print production design.

Campaign Design
Re:act - Campaign winner
As the winner of the Re:act NSW campaign, my design was showcased all across Sydney and NSW on billboards, bus shelters and other street furniture for the month of August 2024.
Project brief:
Design students from various Colleges and Universities across Australia were tasked by Re:act to create a positive, engaging and compelling driver safety campaign aimed at 17-25-year-old drivers or pedestrians.
The key objective of the campaign brief was to address mobile phone distraction and create billboard designs to ignite the younger Australian population to change their current driving behaviours.
Concept:
Using your phone while driving is a toxic relationship, my concept demands the audience to dump their distraction (phone) before it gets messy. One of my key goals was to use humour to capture a space
in the audience’s mind; maybe then it
might just plant a seed, prompting and
get the audience to self-reflect and challenge safer driving habits.
Outcome:
After finding out I was the winner of the Re:act program, I had a month to finalise and amend aspects of the design and also generate a landing page for the campaign.
I pitched the idea of having a pledge button at the bottom of the website, which successfully got visitors to manifest safer driving behaviours.
Campaign length - 1 month
Total website visits: 179
Total pledges: 45

Commissioned Art
RAOAP -Single O.
I was commissioned by single-origin coffee roasters to design a coffee bag for the 19th edition of their “Random Acts of Art Project.” This quarterly initiative allows local Australian artists to showcase their art on coffee bags with thousands of printed bags shipped worldwide.
Project brief:
The brief was to create a coffee bag design under the theme “Plastic and Evil.” Notable design constraints included a limited colour palette of black and orange, as these were the two key branding colours.
Concept:
My concept visualised scenery of limbo, anarchy, demons, plastic, gore and grit. All this represents more plastic in the world, leading to more chaos in the future.
This project strengthened my development as a designer by providing hands-on experience with real-world deadlines and an opportunity to showcase my work professionally.
Research & Insights
At the time, Single-Origin roasters were transitioning to 100% recyclable coffee bags. The artwork needed to capture this through its theme to represent the shift to a more sustainable future for the company.

Publication
Branding
Typography
OOZE Magazine (University Project)
Project brief:
This project had two main components: designing the magazine’s front and back covers, including a logo and masthead. Secondly, two articles were integrated to showcase how the design system functioned.
Additionally, we developed a typographic style guide with detailed rules for the grid systems and typographic elements used within the magazine to ensure the brand remained consistent for future editions.
Process — Concept
OOZE Magazine was formed as a quarterly publication, targeting younger artists and designers aged 16 to 28. Design decisions for my typography and spread design were made to achieve a collective loud voice for the publication. The design for the front and back pages works through a rotating two-colour system, and each OOZE edition preserves the publication’s visual identity while introducing a fresh perspective.This approach ensures the series stays both consistent and visually dynamic over time.

Print Production
Daves Chocolate (University Project)
Project brief:
The task was to design a sustainable packaging solution for a dry food item of our choice, then create three distinct variations of this design to form a set.
This project also involved learning how to accurately provide detailed technical files with print specifications, which included accurately formulating knife lines and spot colours and considering all measures when printing to have a more sustainable practice overall.
Concept
My concept was focused on creating a brand that embodied a very ethical standpoint. A brand that was playful and transparent. Doing so I used illustration, texture and colour to create something delightfully offbeat, in hopes to stand out from ordinary product branding.
Say G’day.
