In 2014, I illustrated the iconic Canberra Comedy Festival logo which is still in use today.

I also illustrated and designed logos for sub-brands including Festival ClubClean Comedy Spectacular and Canberra Comedy Festival Debate.

I have played a major role in developing and managing the visual branding for the Canberra Comedy Festival and their brand style guide since 2014, and continue to do so.

Program Design

Download the 2025 Canberra Comedy Festival Program for a sample of my booklet layout and design work.

Note: The background image in this particular design is a stock photo per the client’s request (time and budget reasons), however, this is a style of illustration I can confidently create myself from start to end, upon request.

Poster Design (Highlights)

I have developed the annual visual “look” for the Canberra Comedy Festival, every year since 2015, which is then used across the festival in posters, program and advertisements. Below is a sample.
