From growing up to university, Brownlie has always been inspired by the ways women communicate and bemused by the underlying rivalry that often permeates female relationships; where hostility and control triumphs over empathy and kindness.

HELLO CASS

An easier way to talk about family and sexual violence.
Hello Cass is an SMS chatbot that provides helpful, anonymous information about family and sexual violence – and it feels just like texting a friend. Hello Cass has been developed for people who have experienced violence, their support networks and for people who are worried about their own behaviour. When users send a text, they chat Cass, a friendly chatbot, who can help them find information on counselling services, safety planning, the legal system, financial assistance, personal wellbeing, intervention orders and more.

FLOWERS FLOWERS!

FLOWERS FLOWERS POP UP FLORIST

CLEMENTINE LEON

When two sisters came together, they both brought with them a desire for high quality and carefully crafted jewellery. Their perfectionistic pursuits and precise attention to detail, was merged with their love of unrefined stones and the Clementine Leon range was born.

The pieces seek to capture the contrasting yet complimenting nature of sisterhood, by putting natural semi precious stones up against sharp geometric shapes. The artisan earrings are designed locally and each handmade piece is distinct from the other, as they remain faithful to being one-of-a-kind.

KERRIN

Kerrin is an Australian menswear label, exploring and celebrating travel, the outdoors and contemporary Australian culture.

“The Kerrin pop-up at 408 Smith Street was a hit. The grey-washed plywood walls and the aluminium-topped cabinetry proved a harmonious backdrop to the premium menswear on display. It was easy to set the tone for a good old-fashioned trunk show where people felt comfortable to wander in, check out the range, enjoy a coffee and get to know the team behind the label. The people and the setting at 408 Smith complemented the friendly and laid-back vibe that Kerrin.co embodies.”
