Taking The Creative Path Less Travelled With Graphic Designer + Not-For-Profit CEO, Micah Scott

The beauty of the creative fields is the myriad ways its skills and problem-solving are integral to non-creative work. Take Micah Scott, for example. The founding CEO of Australia’s first LGBTQIA+ youth organisation, Minus18 Foundation arrived at his career in the not-for-profit sector via training in design. What’s a key way to ensure your community engagement messaging is clear, effective and reaching the right audience ? Design!

In this instalment of our Words from The Wise series in partnership with Monash Art, Architecture + Design, recent graduate Kieran Medici talks to Micah about how training in design honed his communication skills, and how this led to a career at one of the country’s leading youth organisations.

Plus, get a squizz inside the brand new Victorian Pride Centre on Fitzroy Street in St Kilda – Melbourne’s hub for queer organisations and LGBTQIA+led events such as Joy Radio, Melbourne Queer Film Festival and, of course, Minus18. It’s amazing!

A Striking Cantilevered Extension To A ‘70s Country Home

Any good architect will tell you their work is site and client responsive, but that’s clearly the case when it comes to MRTN Architects. Look through this practice’s completed houses and you’ll find no two projects look the same – the mark of a truly contextual designer.

The practice’s latest project is a 1977 house in Kyneton, Victoria, featuring a new elevated, sculptural extension. Not only is this addition visually exciting, it sits comfortably within the existing garden, and supports the clients’ desire to age in place.
