A positive team culture is the driver of all we do at Balarinji, where authenticity and respect are central. The Indigenous Engagement & Design Integration Specialist position reports to a Project Manager, working closely with the Studio Design Team and Project Delivery Team/s.
Balarinji was founded in 1983 by its Chair and Cultural Director, Yanyuwa man John Moriarty and Managing Director and Creative Executive, Ros Moriarty. As dual inductees to the Design Institute Hall of Fame, the Australia Graphic Design Association Hall of Fame and 2021 winners of The Australian Design Prize, our founders are recognised for their design excellence and unparalleled contribution to building bridges of best practice participation between Aboriginal communities, business and the broader community.
Balarinji is a Sydney-based, Aboriginal Australian-owned strategy and design agency that amplifies Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture, voices and narratives authentically, to create impactful change for a new, shared Australian identity through design excellence.
We assist our national and international clients to express Australian identity through best practice co-design with Country and community, for construction, interiors, public art, digital and design and communications. The company’s work spans graphic design, branding, digital, infrastructure, urban design, precinct planning, public art and curatorial and interiors.
Best known for conceptualising Aboriginal art on Qantas aircraft, we also count in our client portfolio, Transport for NSW, Macquarie Group, WSP, Frasers Property Australia, Microsoft, Nespresso, GPT and commemoration work in Europe for Department of Veterans Affairs.
Balarinji has an affiliated organisation for good, Moriarty Foundation. With centres in NT, NSW and QLD, the Foundation enables Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families and communities to unlock the potential of their children, to radically shift intergenerational disadvantage.
