Farrago Magazine



As 2025 social media manager and designer of the University of Melbourne’s campus magazine Farrago,  I oversaw, commissioned and produced digital content projects, as well as designing magazine spreads and promotional material for print.  

In 2025 Farrago celebrated its centenary anniversary, and this archival legacy is honoured through the sampling of design languages from bygone times. I redesigned the 2025 masthead in a blackletter typeface to pay homage to the publication’s long and varied history.

I also had the opportunity to lead a debut book launch project for a local author: this involved contacting venues and partnering organisations, producing and directing promotional features including interviews and commissioning a review, as well as designing publication assets. 

As 2026 Editor in Chief, I worked collaboratively with Maria Quartel to design the publication’s new brand identity, and with the Editorial team to facilitate student journalism and creative work. I also facilitated our collaboration with DreamWorldGirl Zine.
