I’m Naomi Akikusa-Dawber (She/Her) a Melbourne-based Creative Director, designer and music selector. In 2017 co-founded the design studio Play On Play (POP), a small collaborative practice that takes on select projects that address important topics while embracing playful experimentation. My personal aesthetic draws from the nostalgic essence of the 60s-80s, whilst consciously breaking conventional design moulds to create unique, empathetic work for my clients.
My keen eye for detail and deep understanding of visual communication brings a fresh and dynamic approach to my projects. With a commitment to making a positive impact, I seek out projects that shine a light on overlooked topics.
When I’m not on the design tools, I can be found making mixes for NTS Radio.
