Georgie Batt

A designer who transforms complexity into playful opportunity, finding joy and creative solutions where others see only challenges. Beginning with a belief that design should be both meaningful and delightful, her journey led beyond Melbourne's conventional design scene to her current role as Design Lead at Today, where she brings a refreshing sense of play to community impact work.

After having her first child and experiencing family loss, she refined this approach through life's most profound tests. These pivotal moments defined her process and shaped how she approaches life, career, and projects—always bringing a sense of optimism even in the face of genuine difficulty.

Clients and collaborators value her unique ability to infuse joy into challenging situations and create collaborative spaces where playfulness becomes a strategic advantage. From grassroots community initiatives to global client projects, her work demonstrates how finding moments of joy in the design process produces outcomes that resonate more authentically with people's needs. She champions a design approach that isn't afraid to have fun while creating real impact—proving that even in complex circumstances, play might be our most valuable problem-solving tool.
