Hilary Dodd is a graphic designer working across print and space, with a background in visual art and education. She is interested in how designed experiences communicate atmosphere, tone, materiality, and meaning. Using site-responsive and narrative strategies, she seeks to connect intimate experiences and nuanced subject matter with wider cultural contexts. Alongside her design practice, Hilary has worked as a teacher across primary, secondary, university, and museum settings. This informs a practice that values clarity, engagement, and accessibility for diverse audiences.

Her work has been recognised through institutional exhibitions and national design awards, including the Australian Graphic Design Association (AGDA) and the Australian Book Designers Association (ABDA). Hilary has a particular interest in creative direction and concept-driven projects that operate across books, spaces, and cultural contexts.
