Participants
Rhys Gorgol is the founder and creative principal of branding and design studio The Company You Keep. His practice is grounded in the position that conscious design informs a deep unconscious impression. His work is often unconventional and layered being formed by a clear narrative that is experienced in great detail. Working extensively within design for hospitality he collaborates with artists, chefs, architects and makers. The Company You Keep works with a range of partners both locally and internationally.
Tashi van der Waerden is the strategy director of branding and design studio The Company You Keep, where she uses cultural insight and behavioural psychology to deliver effective creative solutions. Coming from a research background, she knows how to find the story in the data and turn it into actionable advice. Tashi has worked between Melbourne and London for the past 12 years, partnering with brands including Broadsheet, Chandon, Marriott Bonvoy, Unilever and Michelin.
With over 20 years of expertise, Jane specialises in colour trend forecasting and consulting global businesses in fashion, interiors, automotive, and beauty. A pivotal figure at the Pantone Color Institute, she contributes to their trend publications and View Point Color. Boddy is frequently featured in press such as Dezeen, Highsnobiety, and ICON magazine for her colour-focused articles. Her approach is influenced by a deep understanding of global culture and economic shifts but has always been anchored by a natural curiosity for fresh ideas and innovation.
Harnessed by a playful and inventive spirit, Oigåll Projects is a commercial gallery in Fitzroy offering artists and designers a space to exhibit experimental design, contemporary art and objects in an immersive setting. Projects are curated collaboratively under the direction of Oigåll’s directors, Andy Kelly and Mitchell Zurek to create unique and immersive worlds in-which to realise and tell the narrative of each individual project.
