It’s so inspiring and reaffirming to see people with a true passion for what they do, and the desire to share it with others.
3 members of the Indesign editorial team got to experience just this recently when they were invited to the workshop of Michelle Donde at Diffuse.



Tucked away at the end of a tiny street in the heart of Sydney’s Redfern is the studio where Michelle and her team create their pieces – works that fuse art and design, informed by Michelle’s background in both sculpture and industrial design.
