ONE EIGHTY

A Self-Taught Multifaceted Artist

One Eighty Collective is a unique intersection of street art, calligraphy, and mental health.

….the artist behind One Eighty Collective. My journey as an artist started a few years ago during the lockdowns when I turned to painting mantras as a way to help myself through depression. It was my way of finally saying something positive to myself, pulling myself out of the darkness, and finding healing through art. Over time, this practice became something I couldn’t ignore, and I fell in love with it, eventually making it the core of my creative life.

One Eighty Collective was born from this transformation. My work combines black lettering calligraphy, tattoo, street-inspired art, and a deep exploration of mental health. Each piece I create features empowering quotes and mantras, written in my signature typography and hand painted throughout the artwork. These quotes aren't just words—they're tools for personal transformation, guiding people to shift their mindset and manifest a more positive direction in life.

Along the way, I’ve had the privilege of traveling across Australia, painting large-scale murals and exhibiting my art at festivals, events, and bars. It’s been an incredible journey, and I even had the chance to host my first solo exhibition in November 2024. These experiences have allowed me to connect with people, especially around the topic of mental health, and to share my message of resilience and
self-empowerment through my art.

While calligraphy and street art are at the heart of what I do, I’m also a full-time graphic and web designer based in Melbourne. With a background in branding and social media, I bring a diverse skill set to help businesses and individuals with everything from logo design to comprehensive branding strategies. I love being able to apply my creative thinking across various industries and am always up for a new challenge. I also host calligraphy workshops, where I share my passion for the craft and help others explore their own creativity.

One Eighty Collective is more than just a project or a brand to me—it’s a testament reclaiming your power through creativity. Whether you’re looking for a custom piece of artwork, graphic design services, or a fun, creative workshop experience, I’m here to help bring your vision to life.

Please contact me for any creative project needed!

Hi, I’m Kate,


My first solo exhibition took place in Collingwood in November 2024. The show centered around the theme of overcoming depression, incorporating real-life tools and insights learned from psychologists.

I created over 25 new artworks, each featuring handmade canvases and frames. Each piece was completely different to the next, showcasing a fresh, innovative style, highlighting the diverse ways in which my passion for calligraphy can be expressed.

Large-scale mural!

In 2022, I had the incredible opportunity to introduce myself to the world through a mural at Sixty Smith Bar. This piece marked a significant milestone in my artistic journey, blending my passion for calligraphy and street-inspired art to make a bold statement. I accomplished a dream of painting a large mural within the busy streets of Melbourne’s night life.
