Behind every great design is a web of creative intersections.

Crossed Paths brings together designers from different design disciplines to share how they connect and collaborate on commercial work.

Speakers include:

• Barbie Payton (Interior Design - Onyx Studio)

• Kylie Harper (Pattern and Place Design  - Tiny Giraffe)

• Kyle Nielsen (Branding/Graphic - The Ageing Sea)

• Liam Carlin (Motion Design - Carlin Agency)

• Liam Georgeson (Industrial Design - QUT)

This isn't your typical design panel. It's an honest conversation about the beautiful chaos of creative intersection—where ideas evolve, perspectives shift, and commercial possibilities multiply. Come witness how the most innovative work emerges not from isolation, but from the fertile ground where different design minds meet. Because the best designs happen when paths cross.

As part of the DIA’s Accredited Designer program, we offer Continuing Professional Development (CPD) through our learning resources. CPD is most effective if undertaken continuously to ensure a currency of skills and knowledge. Attendance at this event is worth 2 CPD points.

DIA events are presented with the support of our Community Partner Clipsal.
