Hi, I’m Eleni Aivazidis, a graphic designer passionate about helping clients bring their ideas to life through thoughtful, cohesive brand identities. I work with a wide range of clients, from small local businesses to creative projects, crafting designs that capture their unique voice and vision. I believe that good design should be both functional and expressive, balancing clarity with creativity to create something truly memorable.

Over the years, I’ve collaborated with numerous clients to develop logos, visual systems, and branding materials that resonate with their audience. I was also honoured to receive an Excellence in Visual Communication and Design award at Wurun Senior Campus, which recognised my dedication to clear, impactful visual storytelling. I hold a Bachelor of Design in Communication Design from Swinburne University of Technology, where I honed my skills in branding, contemporary design practice, and narrative-driven design.

Outside of professional design work, I love exploring other creative pursuits. I spend time free-drawing, illustrating, and painting miniatures, and I also enjoy writing fantasy novels. When I want to combine creativity with strategy and collaboration, you’ll often find me rolling dice in a game of Dungeons & Dragons, both as a player and as a Dungeon Master, crafting worlds and stories for others to explore.

Whether through design, illustration, or storytelling, I’m driven by the desire to create experiences that connect, inspire, and leave a lasting impression.

Three Packs

This project involved designing a cohesive trio of packaging for themed D&D dice sets, each box featuring a distinct magical schematic while maintaining a unified visual identity through consistent typography, layout, and ethereal colour palettes.

State Library Annual Report

This project regarded designing an annual report for the State Library of Victoria, visually exploring the abstract concept of ‘perceptions’, thus creating a visually engaging report that promotes the Library’s sense of community, openness, and positive public presence. This was achieved through the abundance of bright and vibrant colours, grounding the abstract nature of the piece through edited photography.

Harsh Light Portrait

This project involved capturing a series of portraits under both soft and harsh lighting, produce visually engaging portraits that highlight the expressive potential of lighting while maintaining a similar theme. This image captures the duality between the material and immaterial world, as illustrated through the shadow of harsh lighting.

Menstruation Awareness Campaign

This was a campaign aimed at destigmatising menstruation and promoting better period education, being an approachable and visually dynamic campaign that fosters openness, positivity, and community awareness around menstrual health, appealing to a youthful demographic, as made apparent through the pixelated/game inspired graphics.

Ken Garland Infographic

This project involved designing an abstract, bi-coloured infographic that visually interprets Ken Garland's works. Thus a visually striking and educational piece was created that communicates key insights about Garland’s contributions to design in a clear, engaging, and contemporary way. Hybridising photography with vector image, paid homage to his design process which involved utilising collage, photography and mixing other methods.

Acknowledgement of Country

The School of Design and Architecture respectfully acknowledges the Wurundjeri peoples of the Kulin Nation as the Traditional Owners and knowledge-keepers of the lands, waters and sky that surround us, where we work, learn, create, communicate and make place. We recognise that sovereignty has never been ceded and this always was and will always be Wurundjeri Country. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who continue to make a better world through design.

We extend our acknowledgement to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander staff, students, alumni, real-life clients, and knowledge keepers, who have contributed to our own education diversity and growth. We will continue to ensure that staff and students respectfully honour ancestral connection to Country and Place in everything that they do.

We are dedicated to the notion of design to make a better world and we acknowledge that making tools, shaping place, sharing stories, making meaning, wayfinding and collaborating have long been and continue to be both central and integral to First Peoples' cultures. We recognize that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples’ cultural contributions have continued relevance to design practice and commit to: reconciling ancestries of design and contemporary practice as well as pursuing culturally and professionally appropriate ways to engage with a diverse population of colleagues, industries and clients. In a time of treaty-making and voice we understand that there are overlaps between caring for Country and the sustainable production of goods, services, experiences, products and buildings.

Guided by the principles of respect, reconciliation, and reciprocity we undertake to indigenising and decolonising design practice by dismantling colonial structures and challenging biases that have marginalised Indigenous voices and design.

As students of SoDA you will be given opportunities to both engage with and educate yourself in Indigenous creative practices and cultural protocols through a lens of inclusivity, diversity, respect, mutual understanding, inter-cultural dialogue in all aspects of design practice. Indigenous people have been telling stories, making tools, and connecting to Country through visual media, placemaking and place marking for more than 60,000 years and these practices are part of an ongoing, evolving and live tradition.
