Say hello to Brief Club 👋

Now, the first rule of Brief Club is that we talk about Brief Club.

This brand new initiative from AGDA SA is designed to build a stronger design community here in South Australia.

Every second month, our Open Studio host will write a brief based on a real-world design challenge—the kind of problem you don’t usually get to explore without a client, a budget or a deadline.

Our first brief is brought to you by , head to the link in our bio for all the details.

AGDA honours the life and legacy of Lyndon Whaite, Hall of Fame inductee (2004), pioneering designer and influential educator whose contribution to Australian design endures through both his work and his students.

His work included enduring identities for major institutions such as the Australia Council for the Arts (1983) and South Australia’s Jubilee 150 (1986) — designs that remain benchmarks of clarity and timeless restraint.

“Lyndon Whaite was more than a lecturer, he was an inspiration. His passion for design, fearless creativity, and quiet precision left a lasting mark on me throughout my time under his tutelage.”
— Derek Butler, Black Squid

His legacy endures through the work of his students, colleagues, and the timeless marks he left on Australian design.

Vale, Lyndon Whaite.
