The National Grid – Design Distillery

Ashleigh Mannix produces a boundless sound that floats somewhere in the realm of folk, rockabilly and blues fusion.
Supporting and working with inspiring artists such as Ash Grunwald, Mat McHugh and Michael Franti – among others, Ashleigh has found that strong blend of influences to lay the foundation for a rare and powerful sound.

The National Grid worked with Little Hobo Project, who manage Ashleigh Mannix, on creating a new identity & website for the rising star.

The new website integrates all sorts of new social media & media playing abilities (Go & enjoy )
Our ever-lovable pals Justin Crawford and David Maurice Smith shot many of the very nice photos of Ashleigh.

Along with having one of the most inspiring spaces we’ve seen, inspiring people behind it & inspired product as a result, the kids at Page Thirty Three are heading in a very nice direction indeeed.

Facing new challenges in the Modern World, Page Thirty Three has started to evolve their process and design toward a new way of thinking. One that involves as many Australian made products as possible, as well as using, not just sustainable and recycled materials, but also re-using existing materials in order to break the energy flow.

The National Grid worked with Page ThirtyThree to create their new website with an online shop.
