From murals to strategic design, I help schools, corporate groups, and government organisations bring values to life and make impact visible.

Design That Leaves a Mark

What begins as paint or pixels often becomes something more: trust, healing, visibility. Community building.
This is work that celebrates moments of transformation—when values shift from internal to visible, and change takes shape in public.

These are living stories—co-designed with passionate teams, educators, and organisations seeking something real.

Selected Clients

I design school mural programs and creative workshops for students across early years, primary, secondary, and tertiary settings that fit within the school goals and curriculum.


Every project is an opportunity to elevate your environment - using a round-table co-design model that invites students, teachers, and the wider school community to shape their shared environment. Together, we turn tired and under-utilised spaces into points of pride, wellbeing, and belonging.

Looking for a creative school project that raises youth voices?

Want more than a mural? I provide strategic consulting for organisations, councils, and purpose-led teams to help bring clarity, creativity, and impact to community engagement projects.

Whether you’re designing for behaviour change, co-creating with community, or exploring place-based storytelling, I can help you shape a project with purpose.

Strategic Consulting
& Collaboration

“What surprised and supported me most, was Bohie’s sharp eye for language. She helped refine and strengthen our words so that the message became clearer, more powerful, and perfectly fit for purpose. Her ability to balance design with storytelling and cultural sensitivity was remarkable.”

— Co-ordinator of Indigenous Education, SCEGGS Darlinghurst

Sometimes you don’t need more noise. You need clarity, care, and someone who can hold the big picture without losing the human details.
