Campaign Rollout, Graphic Design, Hoarding Design, Site and Event Activation.

Sunrise is Blackbird’s love letter to founders and the beautiful things they create. Held in the in-between — between Moonrise and Sunrise, between imagination and reality — the festival brings together dreamers, builders, and the boldest minds in Australia and New Zealand’s startup community.

My role was to translate this energy into a vibrant visual world. From bold campaign rollouts to immersive site activations, my designs helped shape the festival experience — guiding attendees through spaces, sparking curiosity, and making big ideas feel at home.

Winner of the Navarra Best Corporate Event at the 2024 Australian Event Awards & Symposium.
