Rug Munch!

My rug design collection was exhibited in a Sydney gallery. 'Olive Pit' was selected by Australia’s leading rug manufacturers ‘Designer Rugs’ to be produced and sold.

‘When life gives you lemons’




‘A dash of chilli’




‘Apple of my eye’




OzHarvest food rescue is an organization responsible for collecting excess and left over food from restaurants, function venues, caterers and stores and delivers it free of charge to organisations and agencies assisting the needy, hungry and homeless in Sydney.
‘Rug Munch’ is a range of contemporary rugs designed for OzHarvest food rescue’s Sydney office at PO BOX 255 Alexandria, NSW 2015. The proposed rugs are titled ‘A dash of chilli’, ‘Apple of my eye’, ‘Olive pit’ and ‘When life gives you lemons’. Each designs basic play on food engages in the simple generosity of giving and echo the warmth and kindness of the client’s footprint in the Australian community.
Each design creates a sense of movement, which reflects the distribution, travel and expansion of the organization that essentially connects and brings people together. From the volunteers involved to the food donors and recipient charities operating in Sydney, Wollongong and Canberra. In the future OzHarvest plans to expand to other major population centres in both New South Wales and Australia. I want my designs to capture this motivation and strong sense of moving forward and beyond to do greater things.
