Hi, I’m Zoe. I am a communication designer with a strong interest in branding and logo design, as well as publication design. I enjoy crafting visual identities that communicate a clear sense of personality and purpose. My work also extends to creating advertisements, posters and other promotional materials, where I focus on producing cohesive and engaging designs across both print and digital platforms.
Futurecool Gelato Packaging
This project introduces Futurecool, a gelato concept designed to provide refreshment and hydration in Prato, Italy, during periods of extreme heat. It aims to support vulnerable groups, particularly older individuals, by offering a simple and enjoyable way to cool down while fostering social connection and wellbeing.
The electrolyte gelato encourages hydration and the compostable tubs can be reused as small plant pots, promoting sustainable living and mindful everyday habits. Futurecool demonstrates how small gestures, like sharing gelato in the heart of Prato, can bring people together and promote comfort and community in a warming climate.
Futurecool Pavilion Concept
This project reimagines Prato’s Piazza del Comune as a climate-conscious public space designed to respond to extreme heat. At the heart of the design is a modular plant pavilion that evolves over time, gradually providing more shade and natural cooling as temperatures rise. The pavilion is designed with vulnerable populations in mind, particularly older individuals, offering a comfortable and inviting space to rest and socialise. Through its combination of greenery, shade and adaptable structure, the pavilion encourages community connection in the face of rising temperatures.
In the spirit of reconciliation Monash University acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. We pay our respect to their elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.
