Grace Mallinson (she/her) is a designer and creative currently based in Melbourne, Australia, specialising in creating work for the page and the stage.
Originally from Geelong, Victoria, Grace graduated with a Master of Production Design from the Victorian College of the Arts (VCA) and holds a Bachelor of Design from the University of Melbourne, with a double major in graphic and performance design. Grace received the VCA Director’s Design Award for excellence in set and costume design.
Her graphic design work brings life to briefs with modern, accessible designs for governments, businesses, non-profits, festivals, and events. She has collaborated with organisations including the City of Melbourne, Rising Arts Festival, Peace of Mind Foundation, and Stage School Australia to create print, digital, and installation marketing collateral for diverse national audiences.
For the stage, Grace’s artistic ethos is grounded in sustainable and environmentally conscious design practices. She favours found objects and recyclable materials, aiming to create collaborative works that realise visual storytelling in ecologically responsible ways.
Recent stage collaborations include ‘Someday We’ll Find It’ (Adelaide Fringe Festival, Melbourne Fringe Festival), ‘She Wrote The Letter’ (La Mama), and ‘Little Women’ (Melbourne Conservatorium of Music). Grace also worked under Nathan Weyers (Form Imagination), contributing to the construction of sets for the Korean tour of Broadway’s ‘Hadestown’, and the Australian premiere production of ‘Moulin Rouge’. Grace is a proud member of MEAA.
