Dear Jacky #12
In this edition of Dear Jacky, Senior Producer and Agent (and cautious optimist) Aubrey Halloran answers a tough question many of us have been asking ourselves: How do I stay creative when it feels like the world is falling apart?
Aubrey shares snippets from her conversations with artists actively working to keep their creative sparks ignited during challenging times. She also suggests a few different actions we can take to reconnect with our own innate creativity (and each other).
We highly recommend reading Aubrey's full article here - there’s a lot of warmth, honesty and care in this one 💙

Jake Foreman x Ray's Waterfront
Built on family memories and lived experiences, Ray's Waterfront carries an atmosphere new establishments try to recreate but never quite can. In this brand refresh lead by Base Design, @_jakeforeman’s bespoke, nostalgic illustrations help create an identity both grounded in the past and confidently set for its next chapter.
Lauren Martin x Other Half Brewing
Limited edition beer cans designed by @laurenmartin_studio for Other Half's Green City Festival are out now! 🍻
Made By Radio's Small World
We’ve been loving the self-funded SMALL WORLD series of shorts Made By Radio have been creating, which are as beautifully animated as they are hilarious and relatable. Make sure you're following @madebyradio to watch them all.
Carla McRae x BaptistCare
This bespoke tapestry design for BaptistCare's brand refresh features illustrations by @carla_mcrae, created in collaboration with Re Design. The illustrations were inspired by the voices of BaptistCare’s team, with employees sharing their BaptistCare Moments, stories and images to show what community of care means in everyday life.
Nicole Wu x Forever New
Forever New’s first digital display, designed by Nicole Wu and inspired by the transition of the seasons has been unveiled! Check out @nicolemadethat’s conversation with Forever New on location and see the display IRL at MidCity Sydney! 🌸🍁
