Ruby Healey

I’m a multidisciplinary designer and sometimes photographer based in Naarm/Melbourne. I work from Idle Time, a studio space that I co-founded and manage. My practice sits at the intersection of communication design and image making with a focus on documenting, interpreting and making sense of our world. I’m interested in collective practice, co-design and independent publishing.

I currently work in a freelance capacity and at social impact organisation, YLab. Get in touch if you’d like to collaborate on a project.

I acknowledge the Custodians of the land in which I live and work, the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung people of the Kulin nation. Always was, always will be, Aboriginal land.
