George Barnes does a lot of things, but they all come from the same place. As founder of Studio Dingo, he works across creative and art direction, branding, fashion, spatial design, and music - bringing the same eye for craft and cultural nuance to every project, whatever the category or scale.
Over fifteen years he's built campaigns, collections, identities, and experiences with some of Australia's most respected brands and a handful of international ones. From Afends and Ksubi to Audible, Ken Done, and Royel Otis - the common thread is work that feels considered, specific, and genuinely connected to the world it's made for.
He's also one of the founders and Creative Director of The Salty Mangrove, a beachside restaurant and community space in New Brighton Beach, NSW - a project he helped build from the ground up alongside chef David Moyle and strategist Jason Maggs.
He's not interested in work that blends in.
