Lloyd (mst) is a graphic designer working across technology, access and description. Their practice understands graphic design as a relational activity: a means of organising encounters between people, language, images, information and the conditions through which they become public. The graphic can be spatial, social and participatory, moving between forms and modes of experience.
Projects take form through performance spaces, exhibitions, websites, installations, publications and typography. Each begins with attention to the particular conditions around it: its material and technical structures, the people involved, how it circulates and is received, and the broader cultural context it participates in. Through research, conversation and making, design becomes a means of questioning and reorganising these conditions, opening different ways for ideas to take form and be felt.
Access and description run through this practice as active modes of design. Working with artists, writers and other collaborators, Lloyd explores how sensory, linguistic and technological forms can coexist within a project, creating greater agency in how people access information, participate and make meaning.
Lloyd works with cultural institutions, independent record labels, artists, architects, fashion and other creative practices, often alongside a shifting network of collaborators. Collaboration forms part of the design process, bringing different forms of knowledge, perspectives and attention into relation.
Following study at Werkplaats Typografie Summer School (IT, 2019), Lloyd completed a Master of Communication Design at RMIT University (AU, 2023), receiving the Dean’s Award. They teach within RMIT’s postgraduate and undergraduate communication design programs, have presented at MIT, and are a founding partner of Access Lab & Library.
