Frankie Ratford

Director, The Design Kids

Melbourne

Frankie’s name has been photoshopped into ‘Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego’ more than once! She’s fascinated with the intersection between design, travel and business, and likes to do five things at the same time. She has worked as a print designer, a lecturer, an intern, a blogger, a freelancer, a book binder and a bunch of other design related stuff. She’s lived in 13 cities, in 25+ houses and is currently road tripping around the world for six years, right now in Europe building the TDK empire (lols). She started The Design Kids in 2009 and launched with a market stall in the front yard with some mates and a DJ. She is a sunny Sagittarius who splits her time between her 60’s shack in rural Tasmania and catching planes to far away (warmer) places.
