We are absolutely thrilled to share the exciting news that we were named finalists in The Victorian Premier’s Design Awards, which took place last week at the prestigious National Gallery of Victoria. This recognition fills us with immense pride and honor, as we were included among a remarkable array of truly inspirational projects. It serves as a powerful reminder, not only to ourselves but also to other small businesses, that size is no barrier when it comes to competing with the very best.

The Victorian Premier’s Design Awards, now in its 26th year, were established with the noble aim of celebrating innovation, excellence, and the impactful contributions of Victorian Design across a diverse range of disciplines including fashion, architecture, communication, digital, product, service, and strategy. These awards play a pivotal role in showcasing Victoria’s status as a design leader, not only at the national level but also on the global stage.

Our recognition as Finalist Victorian Premier’s Design Awards was specifically attributed to our work in branding, in collaboration with Alto Health. Our task was to craft a distinctive brand identity that resonated with Alto Health’s core values of being “People-focused in their approach and innovation at their core.” This unique concept stemmed from the founder’s personal experiences within the healthcare industry, highlighting the need for a person-centric and service-oriented general practice.

We were fortunate to embark on this transformative journey, collaborating closely with Alto Health on a comprehensive rebranding project that encompassed brand identity, website design, social media strategy, bespoke illustrations, custom iconography, and signage. To have our efforts acknowledged and celebrated within our industry and by the great state of Victoria itself is a tremendous honor.

This recognition in The Victorian Premier’s Design Awards serves as both validation and motivation. It reinforces our belief in the power of design to create meaningful connections and showcases the impact it can have in shaping the future of healthcare and beyond. We are grateful for this opportunity and look forward to continuing our commitment to innovative, people-focused design that makes a difference.

Thank you for your support, and here’s to a future filled with more exciting opportunities to create and innovate.
