We are deeply saddened by the passing of Neil Turner of Turner Design earlier this year.

Neil was not only one of Western Australia’s most respected designers, but also a generous advocate for our industry. Through AGDA WA events such as the Mentor Program and Portfolio Reviews, he gave his time, wisdom and encouragement to the next generation of designers.

Neil’s work and leadership helped shape the design landscape in WA, and his legacy will continue to inspire us all.

Thank you for everything, Neil. You will be greatly missed.
