ESTIE Practice Resource

I was engaged to design both the ESTIE Practice Resource and its companion Quick Reference Guide, developed as part of an action research study led by the University of Melbourne. These resources support practitioners working at the intersections of domestic and family violence (DFV), mental health, and alcohol and other drug use, using the Safe & Together approach.

My design brief focused on accessibility and visual engagement, with the aim of making complex, evidence-based content clear, approachable, and practical for frontline workers and trainers. I took visual cues from the existing ESTIE logo to inform a clean, professional, yet warm aesthetic that would feel supportive without compromising on clarity.

The Practice Resource serves as a comprehensive guide, while the Quick Reference Guide is designed for ease of use in clinical settings. I carefully structured both documents to support intuitive navigation, consistent hierarchy, and flexible use across print and digital platforms.

Working with a subject as serious and sensitive as DFV required a thoughtful balance of visual tone—professional enough to sit alongside academic white papers, but approachable enough to encourage regular, real-world use by practitioners. This project reflects my commitment to designing with purpose and empathy, especially when the work has a direct impact on people and communities.
