A moment in time, a moment where you’re able to feel incredibly proud to have created space for others in place of your spot in Melbourne Design Week. ‘Creative Sheroes: Women Driving Change’ was my exhibition held as part of Melbourne Design Week 2022, an initiative of the Victorian Government in collaboration with National Gallery of Victoria.

I pitched ‘Creative Sheroes’ in response to the 2022 Design Week theme: ‘Design the world you want’. As I strived to articulate a future I wanted for myself, I found myself asking ‘how can I create the world I want without the pivotal concept that we should (and need to) account for everybody at some point or another?

I believe one of society’s biggest disadvantages is that we don’t have enough different kinds of people in influential places. And I have always been surrounded by strong females. In the world I want, all women would be heard and celebrated – so that’s what I’m doing with Creative Sheroes, a digital anthology of creative women’s stories.
