GEELONG CATS AFL
INDIGENOUS GUERNSEY
After applying in an Expression of Interest back in 2022, I was beyond excited to be chosen as the Indigenous artist for 2024 to create a design to be worn by the Geelong Football Club during the Sir Doug Nicholls Round in May.
It was a very surreal and overwhelming moment to see my design titled ‘Layers of the land’ adorn the guernseys of the Geelong team and watch them run out onto the field and play in them.
I personally spoke to the team about the deeper meaning behind each element of the design and could not be prouder of the message it carried.

SCOTCH COLLEGE
INDIGENOUS GUERNSEY
I was privileged to be a part of a historical moment for Scotch College in Melbourne by creating their first Indigenous Guernsey to be worn across many sports on Saturday the 27th of May as the start of Reconciliation Week 2023.
I created this design after spending an hour with some of the Indigenous boys who created their own sketched designs onto a blank guernsey template after hearing me talk about some of my artworks.
I then took their sketches home and used elements from their designs to create the new ones, with the red one being their home jumper and the white one being their away jumper.
These were worn on Saturday the 27th, not only by the First’s football team but the First’s soccer, hockey, basketball, rugby, and athletics teams. I unveiled the guernseys at the school assembly the day before, explaining the stories behind the artworks.
It was very well received and was a positive step towards Reconciliation with the guernsey’s being a beautiful visual reminder of the commitment Scotch College is making to embrace and embed Aboriginal culture and voices within their School.
NORTH WARRNAMBOOL
INDIGENOUS GUERNSEY
I was very excited to be engaged by The North Warrnambool Football Netball Club to create their first indigenous guernsey for Indigenous Round on the 8th July 2023. It was a thrill to watch the boys run out onto the field wearing my artwork and the story it carries. It was also a proud moment for the club as it commits to stronger connections with the First Peoples of the area for a more united future working together.
