LOUISE BERGER

Since then she’s founded a studio, collaborated with others for larger projects, then deep dived into human centred design working as a project manager for one of Australia’s largest positive impact design, research and strategy firms.

Isabelle Trudgian
Isabelle is a motivated, eager, and conscientious multidisciplinary designer, living and working on Gadigal Land. As a learner, creator, and over-thinker, she infuses experimentation and play into her iterative design process to create meaningful concept-driven creative solutions.
She is a junior designer at Never Sit Still, with an affinity for motion, digital, and brand design. She is committed to social justice and promoting accessible platforms to amplify diverse voices and perspectives through design.
CAROL MACKAY
Carol is a graphic designer at heart. She co-founded Mackay Branson design with Greg Branson in 1984. During that time she's employed a myriad of designers, serviced long-term clients and delivered sustained profits for over 30 years. Since then, she's transitioned that experience to start Design Business Council: Australia’s only business advisory focussed on the business of design.
Carol believes that designers are surrounded by creative inspiration but are often bereft of business knowledge. That’s a problem to solve because designers confident in their business decision-making skills find it easier to grasp opportunities, identify the good prospects from the bad and to manage more effectively; more efficiently and more sustainably. Outside of work, Carol actively and intentionally advocates for our design community. Designers don’t always have the same support network as other professionals. Carol has mentored through AGDA, Womentor and The Aunties, and sits on the board of Never Not Creative.
