01. Make Believe: Encounters With Misinformation2025

Make Believe: Encounters with Misinformation examines how misinformation shapes our lives and culture. The exhibition explores four main themes: our bodies, our planet, our histories, and our freedoms, through real-life examples and though provoking responses from artists and industry experts across various fields.

My role involved supporting the video editing process using Premiere Pro and After Effects, ensuring subtitles, edits, and colour grading were refined and functioning cohesively across the final outputs.

Each year, on International Women’s Day, the MECCA x NGV Women in Design Commission invites a leading creative to develop a new work for the NGV Collection. This series is supported by MECCA M-POWER, a social change initiative dedicated to championing equality and creating opportunities for women and girls, with a focus on elevating women in art and design. Nipa Doshi is the fourth recipient of the Commission.

Collaborated on the design and development of event collateral, including a booklet featuring information about the commission and artist, as well as instructional materials for workshop participants.

04. MECCA Apothecary Board
2025

MECCA Apothecary at Bourke Street is a space that brings new age remedies and ancient rituals together in the ultimate ode to feeling good. At the apothecary, skincare and wellness aren’t separate categories; they’re part of the same conversation.

The Apothecary board is a small yet considered part of this section, featuring cards with detailed quotes, illustration crops and educational facts. They invite customers to engage and take a piece home.

05. Melbourne Cinémathèque 2025

My proposed identity for Melbourne Cinémathèque 2025 draws inspiration from the circle, a shape deeply rooted in cinema history. Circle evokes the charm of old film projection techniques, where reels and lenses created the moving images, represented by the mirror effect within the circle. This concept is further reinforced by the circular mirrors located at various spots at the ACMI museum, where the event takes place. Melbourne Cinematheque was running at ACMI every Wednesday night, from February to December 2025.

06. A Reflexive 86-Page Book About Finding Meanings In Loose Connections
2025

This book traces the subtle threads between beloved artworks, photography, nature, and moments of nostalgia, seemingly unrelated fragments that, when held in reflection, begin to speak to one another.
Through observation and intuitive pairing, it explores how meaning is in the loose connections that echo something deeper, personal.

2024

This cookbook features four staple ingredients and brings together recipes from different countries. Other supporting applications, such as merchandise, brochures, and street signs, were designed to promote cooking events, where the participants can create a shared language over food, talk about their favourite meals, and learn different ways of cooking from each other.
