Wayfinding
The Airport Experience in a post Covid-19 World
For many Australians, air travel is an essential part of our life – whether to see family, an interstate commute for work or the holiday of a lifetime. The absence of a viable intercity rail system coupled with the sheer size of Australia, has meant that air travel has become embedded within our national identity; two of the busiest air routes in the world are found in Australia, with each Australian flying 2.9 times per year as compared to 2.4 flights per year for the average American citizen.

Women in Wayfinding
2018 raised some hard-hitting issues surrounding gender equality, from pioneering movements such as #MeToo and #TimesUp, and enforcing gender pay gap reporting. These movements have forced us to reflect on our own experiences as women working in the design industry, to consider this effect on our professional lives, and to address where and how things can be improved.
