She is also a Ph.D candidate in the School of Architecture and Design, and her topic 'Ideation and graphic design' focuses on the archive of David Lancashire held in the RMIT Design Archives. Lancashire is one of Australia's most awarded designers, a member of Alliance Graphique Internationale, a past board member of Icograda, and a member of agda.
