Making a site where schools and businesses can connect with Indigenous knowledge
Yuludarla Karulbo
Yuludarla Karulbo (“dreaming together for a brighter future”) is a social enterprise that provides reconciliation action plans, education, play and knowledge to schools and businesses in Australia. It is Indigenous-owned and operated and provides opportunities for young Indigenous people around Australia to provide training and to connect with each other.
Our design is helping Yuludarla Karulbo provide workshops, cultural education and reconciliation action plans to Australian schools and businesses.
Creating a website for WPS Coalition to publish papers, letters, seek and receive public engagement.
Women, Peace & Security Coalition
The Women, Peace & Security Coaltion brings together activists, feminists, practitioners, humanitarian actors and those with first-hand experience working in the frontline on issues relating to women, peace and security. Coalition members have wide ranging expertise in gender and peace.
Women Peace & Security Coalition wanted a new website that allowed them to move off their previous blogging platform into an online place where they could professionally publish their work, seek interaction with visitors, and continue being a credible resource for the women, peace and security agenda in Australia.
We helped them to move their established content from the previous website and re-organise it for the new site, along with adding functionality including: member application form, newsletter sign up, twitter feed, separately organised landing pages and articles for each of their functional operations wings, and capability for various forms of public engagement as required.
The new design focused on an intersectional and feminist approach to representing women, peace and security in Australia. We were aware of the multiple identities of all the people WPS Coalition represents and the various audiences they talk to, including government, policy-makers, academics and general population, both women and men, within and outside of Australia.
We also made infographics and visualisations of data and the WPS work.
Big dreamers love us.

We are a women-led design team, working in areas of social justice, feminist causes, gender equality, LGBTIQ causes, environmental care and helping empower organisations making social change for good.
For every 10 hours design you buy from us, we sponsor 1 hour of design for fledgling community groups – so far we’ve helped over 60 groups and donated over $100,000 of time.
We do this because we believe that doing business + helping the community go hand-in-hand, and that increasing community empowerment and economic well-being helps everyone.
We’re driven to pioneer a different way of providing businesses and organisations with the design services they need.
