Meet Frankie Ey
What was your favourite activity to do as a kid?
My mum was a P.E teacher so I did everything under the sun. But I’d say gymnastics.

I wanted to be an art teacher. So kind of close.
What was your first job in design?
I was a designer at Mark Gibbs design studio in Adelaide.

Good design is very satisfying. Bad design hurts my brain. I just love things to be pretty!
