is the amorphous collaborative space in which Tessa
Rapaport and Karl Logge work together on a wide
range of creative and critical projects.
It is at once an experimental art practice [Makeshift
Laboratory], an interdisciplinary design studio
responding to socially responsible client-led briefs
[Makeshift Studio],
a producer of thought-provoking objects for sale
[Makeshift Workshop],
and an active contributor to the field of design
research, education and critical discourse [Makeshift
Think Tank]. |

was born in Sydney in 1980. She has a Bachelor of
Design from the College of Fine Arts (UNSW). She
has been teaching at COFA and UTS for the past 3
years, and has also curated exhibitions, written
an Honours thesis investigating the critical agency
of the curator, and begun making site-specific installation
art. She sees herself
as a redirective practitioner working across disciplines
to develop more sustainable ways of living and
working in the world. She believes strongly in
the need for a more critically engaged and responsive
design community, and enjoys exploring and making
interventions in the spaces between art, design
and writing.

was also born in Sydney in 1980 and also holds a
Bachelor of Design from the College of Fine Arts
(honours 1st class). He has been clicking away as
a graphics and multimedia designer for the last
ten years, and briefly ran the Multimedia and Graphic
Design stream at the Raffles Design Institute.
Aside from these small discrepancies,
give or take, he has been pretty much doing the
same things as Tessa for the last seven years
which is when they began working and collaborating
together.
