Key Assets is a non-government, not for profit children, non-religious, children, family and community services agency. Our purpose is to achieve positive and lasting outcomes for children, families and communities. Key Assets have been established in Australia since 2007 and now provide services in all Australian states. Key Assets will achieve their purpose by positively impacting the lives of children, young people, their families and carers through quality services and expert advice designed to provide support, build confidence, improve skills, develop relationships, and strengthen resilience. Key Assets approached our team to create a cultural elements package and cover for their podcast ‘Kickstarting The Yarn’ which was launched during NAIDOC week 2022.
Leticia and Lauren worked collaboratively with Key Assets to provide 5 cultural elements and 3 panels that best represented the core values of Key Assets. The elements included a yarning circle that represents the safe space that Key Assets provides to share experiences and learn from each other. An element to represent the role that Key Assets provides in protecting children and families. An element was created with ties back to the triangles used throughout Key Assets logo to represent connected people, and the important role that each person plays. As well as elements to represent community and cultivating knowledge.

Leticia created the cover for the ‘Kickstarting The Yarn’ podcast which incorporated the elements to create a bright, engaging and youthful feel. The ‘Kickstarting the Yarn’ Podcast was right up Leticia’s alley as she felt connected to the topics that were being discussed, such as; keeping children and young people in out of home care safe and connected to their kin, country and culture.
