I co-produced 001 POP UP, a curated large-scale design market held at the Abbotsford Convent’s North Magdalen Laundry in 2022. The event celebrated and supported the local creative community by bringing together more than thirty designers to showcase and sell their work. Our collective secured grant funding from Creative Victoria and Regional Arts Victoria for this project. The market also featured installations, live performances, an abstract runway show, performance, visual art, fashion, food, and licensed beverages.

Collaborating with spatial architects, each room was curated to invoke a fictional character extracted from the poem 'Ode to a Nightingale' by John Keats.
