Ellen Waite AU/NZ
︎︎︎ About

︎︎︎ Exhibitions / Publications

︎︎︎ Naarm (Melbourne), Australia.

I acknowledge the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung people as the traditional custodians of the lands and waterways in the area on which I work, and pay my respects to their Elders past, present and emerging – and to all First Nations people and communities.

Sovereignty has never been ceded. It always was and always will be, Aboriginal land.
Kia ora! My name is Ellen — I’m a communication designer with a BDes from RMIT University, based in Naarm (Melbourne). My practice aims to put community at the forefront, weaving together playful graphic design, public practice (encouraging curiosity, collaboration and community through design), exhibition design/curation (with a focus on tactility) and co-design.

Keen to collaborate?  Have a project in mind? Send me a message!
