Streamlining content and amplifying key messages on disrupting disadvantage in Australian schools for the Bruniges Fellowship.

Engaged by the Bruniges Fellowship team — a collaboration between the University of Technology Sydney’s Centre for Social Justice and Inclusion and the Paul Ramsay Foundation — Erin was commissioned to develop a cohesive visual approach for presentations exploring how to disrupt educational disadvantage in Australian schools.

Initially scoped as a presentation-design project, the work evolved into a consultative design partnership. Working closely with the Fellowship, Erin helped them parse and structure their presentation content, identifying key messages and shaping the visual narrative so that it could function as both a live and standalone communication tool.

The process involved analysing detailed research materials, refining the content hierarchy, and establishing a consistent design language across typography, colour, and layout. Erin also advised on visual navigation strategies to help audiences easily follow complex ideas, and styled graphs and charts to align with the overall visual tone which is professional, warm, and human-centred.

The resulting presentation system and style guide enabled the team to communicate their research with greater clarity and confidence, ensuring that the visual form amplified the Fellowship’s message: improving educational equity through evidence, empathy, and design clarity.
