Balarinji wins President’s Award at Designers Australia Awards

The thing I’m proudest of is the opportunities Balarinji creates, with our partners and clients, to give voice to Australia’s rich Aboriginal narrative to challenge us all about Australian design. Whether our brilliant team is illuminating the work of a globally significant Aboriginal artist on the latest Qantas airliner, deeply embedding local Aboriginal story in major public infrastructure, or inspiring the dreams of young creative professionals who work with us in the city, the country or the bush.

Balarinji and its design projects have been awarded many honours. In 2021, Balarinji founders were awarded the Australian Design Prize from Good Design Australian as well as a UNESCO Achievement Award.
