As a practicing designer Ross has worked with a range of clients from grass roots groups, community organisations, independent businesses, arts and culture institutions as well as global brands and start-ups.
Ross approach is collaborative, playful and utilises a range of hands-on techniques and methods. From creative facilitation workshops, through to typographic games. His work seeks to emphasise care and community, and he does this through a number of personal award winning projects.
Through research, play and constant exploration Ross is developing a completely holistic design practice that takes cues from permaculture a sustainable closed loop design system and methodology.
Ross has an expansive knowledge of design, and the production methods around this. Although training in more tangible and print based practice he works regularly in a digital space.
