ILLUSTRATIONS & DESIGN FOR GOOD THINGS

Collabs with Good Life Permaculture

Good Life Permaculture is a Hobart-based permaculture education platform run by Hannah Moloney, educator, designer, and ABC Gardening Australia presenter. Over several years, I created a range of print and illustration work in support of her mission to make permaculture accessible to everyday gardeners.

The work spanned event promotion posters, two different step-by-step illustrated guide to home composting,a series of educational billboard designs aimed at bringing permaculture principles into suburban backyards. Each piece had to translate ideas that can feel technical or niche into something visually warm and genuinely approachable, the kind of design that invites people in rather than overwhelming them.

Every year, a new way to say the same thing.

For several years I designed seasonal workshop posters for Good Life Permaculture, promoting courses in composting, fermenting, permaculture, and sustainable living, all grounded in Hannah's philosophy that a more wholesome, self-sufficient life should be accessible to everyone.

Year after year — seasonal posters for Good Life Permaculture

The same booklet. Two completely different visual worlds.

I designed community composting guides for both Hobart City Council and Kingborough Council — educating residents on how to compost at home and reduce green waste going to landfill. Same content, same purpose, but each needed to feel like it belonged to its own council's voice and community.

Rather than applying a single visual treatment and swapping logos, I developed a distinct visual language for each: one warm and colourful with a friendly, accessible character; the other built around scratchy hand-drawn illustration and a muted, earthy palette.
