210: Play, Passion Projects and Butts with Sophie Elinor Brown



Welcome to a fun deep dive into typography, play, passion projects and butts, with self-proclaimed Type Dork, Sophie Elinor Brown!


Sophie is an Australian typographer and graphic designer who uses letterforms to bring the written word to life. She loves blending design and language through mediums like illustration, visual art, stop motion, craft and animation. Her work is thoughtful - often exploring play, joy and humour - and she has a perpetual soft spot for vibrant colour palettes that pack a punch.

She relishes in purpose-driven work environments, where strong ethical values are upheld, and positive contributions are made.


In this conversation, you’ll hear the ways in which Sophie weaves humour and silliness in her work, the tools she uses, curiosity’s role in resourcefulness and continuous learning and the ways in which doing work both for large, global clients as well as for smaller, local clients can be exciting in their own right.
