Design Isolate (2020) is an Australian Design Centre initiative to show how creative thought can help lead the way for change. Over 60 designers and creative thinkers have captured their thoughts in sketches, diagrams, drawings, text or collage on COVID-19, isolation, what ‘a new normal’ in Australia might look like, how they are affected, and how design might contribute to recovery post-pandemic.

During the 2020 lockdown in Sydney, N.S.W., Lisa Cahill, CEO and Artistic Director, Australian Design Centre, sent blank journals to designers, artists and creators asking them to document something of their time during isolation in an analogue form. The journals were exhibited at the Australian Design Centre between 26 November 2020 and 27 January 2021, and form the basis for the publication Design/isolate : the pandemic through a creative lens / Lisa Cahill (2023).
