The Annual is Australia’s largest showcase of graduate art and design, launching a new generation of creative practitioners from the UNSW School of Art & Design. This year, 187 artists, designers and makers present new work across the Paddington campus and online. 

UNSW ADA Innovation Hub and Vince Frost of Frost*collective bring you the third in the series of Creative Conversations designed to explore and untangle important developments in the creative industries. In this engaging conversation – The Power of Multisensory Design – Vince was joined by leading experts in the field of design:

Sibella Court: Creative Director, Interior & Product Designer, and Author.

Craig Andrade: Founder & CEO of The Raconteur, artisanal luxury fragrance brand.

Professor John McGhee: Director & Founder of the award-winning UNSW 3DXLAB.

Together they explored the importance of designing for the senses and how multisensory design can impact behaviour by engaging sight, sound, smell and touch in both real and virtual environments

Cushla's passion for the built environment and design emerged from a deep appreciation for the natural world she had from an early age. At UNSW, Cushla pursued a Bachelor of Interior Architecture, a program that seamlessly blended art history and architecture, providing her with the ideal platform to unleash her creativity onto a tangible career path. The rigorous coursework at UNSW not only honed her skills but also instilled the importance of structure in the creative process, equipping her to tackle complex projects with determination and resilience.

For the first time in over a decade, all seven School of Built Environment disciplines – Architecture, City Planning, Computational Design, Construction Management and Property, Interior Architecture, Landscape Architecture and Industrial Design – will be celebrating together in a combined whole-of-school graduation exhibition.

The exhibition is a chance for students to share their work with the design and built environment industries and the wider community and celebrate with their teachers, friends and families. It is also a chance for industry and the public to see the best and brightest in the country, if not the world.

The School of the Arts & Media (SAM) Alumni Creative Residency supports recent graduates in their professional creative endeavours. This flexible residency program is designed to bolster the development of your creative project through access to UNSW facilities, resources and networks.
