never thought I would see this happen in my lifetime,” says Alison Page of the recognition of Aboriginal design in the modern landscape as well as the much-needed conversations about Australia's troubled Indigenous history. As a Walbanga and Wadi Wadi woman of the Yuin nation, she has been at the forefront of these conversations for almost three decades. In that time, Page, a true jack of all trades, has had a career of which most can only dream. She was a regular panellist on ABC's The New Inventors, is associate dean in the Faculty of Design, Architecture and Building at the University of Technology Sydney, launched her own interior design studio in 1999, and in 2012, established the National Aboriginal Design Agency.
